Diversity
7 species (inc. 1 extinct)

Siro is a genus of mite harvestmen in the family Sironidae with 7 described species (6 extant, 1 extinct).[1][2] All are found in Europe.[1][3][4]

## Description

[edit]

The genus Siro was described by Latreille, 1795 with the type species Siro rubens Latreille, 1802 only later designated (by subsequent monotypy).[5]

## Species

[edit]

These 7 species (including one extinct species) belong to the genus Siro: (after Giribet & Shear, 2010)[5]

* Siro carpaticus Rafalski, 1956 - Poland, Slovakia
* Siro crassus Novak & Giribet, 2006 - Slovenia
* Siro franzi Karaman & Raspotnig, 2022 - Austria
* Siro ozimeci Karaman, 2022 - Croatia
* Siro rubens Latreille, 1804 - France
* Siro valleorum Chemini, 1990 - Italy
* [Also see † Siro platypedibus Dunlop & Giribet, 2003 (fossil, Bitterfield amber from Bitterfeld, Germany)]

Many species once placed in Siro have since transferred to other genera, including:
To Arhesiro:

* Siro clousi Giribet & Shear, 2010
* Siro sonoma Shear, 1980

To Holosiro:

* Siro acaroides (Ewing, 1923)
* Siro calaveras Giribet & Shear, 2010
* Siro shasta Giribet & Shear, 2010

To Neosiro:

* Siro boyerae Giribet & Shear, 2010
* Siro exilis Hoffman, 1963
* Siro kamiakensis (Newell, 1943)
