The Phalangiidae is a diverse group of long-legged harvestmen found in Eurasia, North America and Africa (with some species introduced to Australasia). Members of this group are mostly leathery-bodied, with spiny legs and a characteristic penis morphology with the glans bent dorsally from the shaft (Tsurusaki 2007). Members of the subfamily Gyinae, recently placed in Phalangiidae by molecular phylogenetic analysis (Hedin et al. 2012), possess well-developed lateral wings on the penis close behind the shaft-glans junction. Members of the Platybuninae have a broad base to the penis and distomesal apophyses on the pedipalpal patella and tibia (Zhang & Zhang 2012).

Characters (from Tsurusaki 2007): Body generally soft and leathery, rarely sclerotised; coloration often forming medial 'saddle' marking. Ocularium relatively high, usually covered dorsally with several tubercles. Ozopores situated near bases of legs I, visible from above. Leg coxae without marginal rows of denticles, with only sparse setae; genital operculum and opisthosomal sternites also with only sparse setae; lateral opisthosomal sclerites absent. Pedipalps with claw usually smooth, rarely slightly toothed. Legs cylindrical, often pentagonal or hexagonal in cross section, with rows of spines or setae on edges; femora without nodules; tibiae with two accessory spiracles, one near proximal and one near apical end. Penis with glans movable, articulated, bent dorsally in resting position (usually at acute angle at base); stylus well delimited and movable. Ovipositor long and segmented with bifurcated tip.
