See text Spaeleoleptes is a genus of harvestmen in the family Escadabiidae with two described species (as of 2024).

[1][2] Both species are found in Brazil as cave endemics.

[1][3][4] The genus Spaeleoleptes was described by Hélia Eller Monteiro Soares, 1966 with the type species Spaeleoleptes spaeleus Soares, 1966.

[citation needed] These species belong to the genus Spaeleoleptes: The genus is Masculine.

It should have been spelled “Spelaeoleptes”, from Greek σπήλαιον (cave, cavern) + truncation of pre-existing genus Gonyleptes (Kury, 2003)
