Sandokanidae is a family of harvestmen in the suborder Laniatores, formerly referred to as Oncopodidae (the name was replaced because of the secondary homonymy of the type genus Oncopus, replaced by Sandokan; this made the change of family name mandatory)
Name
The name of the type genus is based on the name of
Sandokan.
Description
Sandokanidae range in body size from about 2–11 mm. Their legs are relatively short and stout. Most species are
amber colored with some dark brown patterns. A few undescribed
Gnomulus species are orange.

Distribution
This family is known from
Southeast Asia from Indonesia, almost reaching
New Guinea on
Waigeo, up north into the
region.
