See text for list Minuidae Kimulidae is a small neotropical family of the harvestman infraorder Grassatores with about thirty described species.
[1] These brown harvestmen dwell in soil and litter.
[1] Whereas most species occur in Venezuela, Colombia and the West Indies, the isolated species Tegipiolus pachypus (which was formerly in Zalmoxidae) is found in northeastern Brazil.
[1] Another Brazilian species, Microminua soerenseni Rio de Janeiro, does not belong to this family.
[1] This family was originally called Minuidae, but as the name of the type genus proved invalid, the family name needed a replacement.
