Gagrellula

Gagrellula ferruginea, from here.

Belongs within: Sclerosomatidae.

Gagrellula is a genus of sclerosomatid harvestmen known from southern Asia, characterised (albeit doubtfully) by the presence of three pseudoarticular nodules in femur II, and by the absence of denticles around the base of the eyemound.

Characters (from Roewer 1954): Femora I–IV with 0.3.0.0 nodules; scutum with single median spine(s) on area 2 only or on both areas 1 and 2; eyemound smooth or granulate, without large spines, always unarmed basally; femora I and III cylindrical, longer than body.
