There is no such checklist published. The one presented here, with only 6 species, is part of the forthcoming Catalogue of the World Opiliones, by A.B. Kury.
There is no harvestmen species endemic from Afghanistan. All the 6 species recorded are shared with one or more of the following: China, India, Iran, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan.
“It is probable that some specimens, which Roewer (1960) had identified as O. parietinus from Afghanistan (there are no males) are O. afghanus instead.” (Šilhavý 1966b)[1].
