The Neopilionidae are a family of harvestmen.

It has a clearly Gondwanan distribution, with species found in Australia, South Africa and South America; they probably represent relicts of that time.

The family members range in size from the small Americovibone lancafrancoae (0.9 mm) to over 4 mm in the Enantiobuninae.[1]

Some species of Enantiobuninae have blue pigmentation, which is rather unusual in harvestmen.[1]

The former family "Monoscutidae" has recently been subsumed within the subfamily Enantiobuninae.[2]
