Gonyleptes Kirby, 1819 was the first genus of Laniatores described. It has 22 species (+ 1 nomen dubium) of Brazilian large, dark-colored harvestmen.
During many decades everybody, misled by Roewer, thought that this name referred to another species, but examination of the holotype in BMNH clarified this. [1]
