The Stylocellidae are a family of harvestmen with about 30 described species, all of which occur from India to New Guinea. Members of this family are from one to seven millimeters long. While "Stylocellus" species have eyes, these are absent in the other two genera.aut|Giribet, Gonzalo (2007): Stylocellidae Hansen & Sørensen, 1904. In: Pinto-da-Rocha "et al." 2007: 104ff]

Name

The name of the type genus is combined from Ancient Greek "stylos" "pillar" and Latin "ocellus" "eye", referring to the elongated shape of the animal, compared to Sironidae, and the presence of eyes.
