Protolophidae is a family of harvestmen in the order Opiliones. There is at least one genus, Protolophus, and about six described species in Protolophidae found in Western North America.[1][2][3]
ITIS Taxonomic note:[2]
- While Protolophidae has been nested within Sclerosomatidae by some workers, it has been traditionally recognized as a separate family (Giribet et al., 2010); although a recent treatment (Kury in Zhang, 2013) does not recognize the family Protolophidae, others do (Hedin et al., 2012; Kury website 'Classification of Opiliones' (2014)).[2][4]
