This category includes all assamiid harvestmen that can currently not be referred to a described genus or FP-genus.
Assamiidae
(after Shear 2001): The Assamiidae is a large family in the infraorder Grassatores within the infraorder Laniatores. The family is easily distinguished from all others by 4–8 marginal spines on the front edge of the carapace. The raptorial palpi, often rather small and held crossed-over, are of the "grabber" type, with a sickle-like claw closing against a spiny tarsus, which in turn closes against the spiny tibia, particularly a distinctive, large, distolateral spined process. The patella may be unspined or bear two large spines, and the femur carries a row of strong ventral spines that give it a serrate appearance.
