"Stygophalangium karamani" is a species of arachnid. Although sometimes classified as a harvestman in the infraorder Eupnoi (Phalangioidea), its identity is uncertain, but it is probably a species of Acari (mites).

Name

The genus name is a combination of Styx, the river of Greek mythology and the harvestman genus "Phalangium". The species is named after zoologist Stanko Karaman, who collected the described specimen.
