Species

Cyphophthalmi ialah suborder penuai (harvestmen), dengan kira-kira 36 genus, dan lebih daripada seratus spesies dikenalpasti. Enam famili sekarng ini termasuk dalam dua infraorder, Tropicophthalmi dan Temperophthalmi; walau bagaimanapun, ini tidak disokong oleh analisis filogenetik moden. Cyphophthalmi lebih kecil daripada penuai "ayak-ayak" biasa, dengan dewasa panjang daripada 1 hingga 6mm, termasuk kaki. Juga, kakinya lebih pendek berbanding panjang badannya, biasanya lebih pendek daripada badannya. Sebahagiannya menyerupai hama.
