Cimmerosiro is a genus of
harvestmen in the suborder Cyphophthalmi with three described species (as of 2024).[1][2] All three species are found in Eastern Europe and West Asia.[1][3][4]
Description
The genus Cimmerosiro was described by Karaman, Mitov & Snegovaya, 2024,[5] with the type species Cimmerosiro krivolutskyi Karaman, Mitov & Snegovaya, 2024.

- Cimmerosiro Karaman, Mitov & Snegovaya, 2024

Etymology
The genus is masculine. The prefix is derived from the ancient continent Cimmeria, as the western part is claimed to be associated with the origin and distribution of the family Parasironidae.[5] The suffix echos the name Siro, as a common suffix for several cyphophthalmid genera.
