Dendrolasma mirabile is a species of harvestman in the family Nemastomatidae.[1][2] It is found in North America, in the Pacific Northwest of the USA and Canada.[1][3][4][5] The species was described by Nathan Banks, who reported the original specimen from USA, "Washington State",[6] consistent with later records over a wider geographic range.[7][8][9]

Description

[edit]

Dendrolasma mirabile is said to differ from Dendrolasma dentipalpe by the large-celled network of keels, rather than a small-celled network. Males of Dendrolasma mirabile also have less exaggerated cheliceral modifications and lack the mediodistal tooth found on the palpal patella in males of Dendrolasma dentipalpe.[8]
