Samooidea is a large superfamily in the Grassatores group of harvestmen. It includes around 380 species distributed throughout the tropics.[1] They are characterized by the complex male genitalia, with eversible complementary sclerites.[1]
The Samooidea are closely related to Zalmoxoidea, although the exact relationships are not yet understood.[2]
