The Dicranolasmatidae are a monotypic family of harvestmen with 16 described species in a single genus, Dicranolasma.

The anterior region features a large headlike "hood" with the eyes in center, which consists of two curved processes.

The chelicerae and pedipalps are both hidden under the hood in adults and about half as long as the body.

[3] Dicranolasmatidae occur mainly in the Mediterranean region northward to the southern Alps, the Carpathians, eastward to the Caucasus and Iraq, the Levant and southward to western North Africa.

[3] The Dicranolasmatidae are closely related to the Trogulidae and Nemastomatidae, with Trogulus probably sister to Dicranolasma.
