Ortholasmatinae Shear and Gruber 1983, p. 13 (see for pre-1983 references); Schwendinger & Gruber 1992, p. 60; Shear 2006, p. 192 (emended diagnosis).
Diagnosis.
Nemastomatid Opiliones with the anvil-shaped tubercles on the dorsum exaggerated, with long horizontal arms overlapping in patterns to form distinctive keel cells (Figs 2, 3); lateral anterior margins of the carapace with at least one (up to three) forward-projecting lateral hood process on either side of the eye tubercle; eye tubercle in all but one genus with long, forward-projecting median hood process bearing large T-shaped tubercles laterally and sometimes dorsally. All these characters are absent from nemastomatines.
