Tirrenosiro is a genus of
harvestmen in the suborder Cyphophthalmi with two described species (as of 2024).[1][2] Both species are found in Southern Europe.[1][3][4]
Description
The genus Tirrenosiro was described by Karaman, Mitov & Snegovaya, 2024,[5] with the type species Parasiro minor Juberthie, 1958.
