Description

Travuniidae are at the most three millimeters long, with slender, unarmed legs and robust, strongly spined pedipalps.^[1]

Distribution

Travuniidae have been found in Europe, Japan and the United States. Although some were described from Slovenia, these records proved to be erroneous.^[1]

Relationships

Travuniidae are most closely related to Cladonychiidae; it is even possible that Travuniidae is paraphyletic in respect to this family.^[1]

Name

The name of the type genus is derived from the Latin name of Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina.^[1]
