Sclerobunus is a genus of harvestman that occurs in western North America.[1][2][3]

Species

[edit]

Sclerobunus was revised in a 2014 study, which described 5 new species, and Cyptobunus as a junior synonym of Sclerobunus. In addition, several populations formerly considered subspecies were elevated to full species rank.[3][4]
