Gagrella

Gagrella amboinensis, copyright Michael Kesl.

Belongs within: Sclerosomatidae.

Gagrella is a diverse genus of sclerosomatid harvestmen recognised from southern Asia and northern Australasia, currently lacking a properly defined diagnosis and hence of uncertain monophyly.

Characters (from Martens 1987): Femur II only with a single pseudoarticular nodule; area 2 or areas 1 and 2 of scutum each with a median cone; eyemound low, smooth or granular, without large spines; femora I and III cylindrical, longer than body.
