What is Phalangium opilio?
These are medium-sized animals with a stocky and powerful body, short face, eyes directed forward, and a prominent rhinarium. They have a relatively long tail, which is heavily furred in some species and prehensile in most. All phalangerids are good climbers, although some tend to be semi-terrestrial.
Phalangium opilio. (Arachnida: Opiliones, Phalangiidae) Harvestman, Daddy longlegs, Harvest spider. Of the many species of harvestmen known, P. opilio tends to be the most common in relatively disturbed habitats such as most crops in temperate regions.

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 ...
Feb 22, 2017 · Our results thus provide, for the first time, a well-resolved Eupnoi phylogeny, including the placement of Gyas titanus within Phalangiidae, as suggested by Hedin et al. , instead of within Sclerosomatidae. We were not able to include any members of the phylogenetically unstable ‘Metopilio group’ [19,35].
