Garypinidae Daday, 1888

The family currently contains 21 genera and over 70 species. The majority of species possess strongly divided arolia on the tarsus of all legs, but members of several genera (Neominniza, Oreolpium, Protogarypinus, Teratolpium and Thaumatolpium) lack this feature.

Garypinids are found all over the world, and are frequently found under tree bark. Several genera, such as Amblyolpium and Solinus, are widely distributed.
