-'''Sabaconidae''' is a family of [[Opiliones|harvestmen]] with 59 described species in one genus, '''''Sabacon''''', which is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
-==Name==
-The name of the type genus is derived from "Sabacon", an [[Ancient Egypt|Egyptian]] king.
-==Description==
-This family is very easily recognizable on the basis of the unique pedipalp morphology, which is densely covered in plumose setae, and features a concave depression on the tibia, and a bulbous tarsus, which fits snugly into the tibial depression.
-==Distribution==
-Sabaconidae exhibits a wide, yet highly disjunct, distribution. Species can be found throughout North America, Europe, and Asia, though individual species usually have very restricted distributions.
-==Fossil Record==
-There is one species, ''[[Sabacon claviger]]'' <small>(Menge, 1854)</small> (and its synonym ''[[Sabacon bachofeni]]'' <small>[[Carl Friedrich Roewer|Roewer]], 1939</small>), known from Baltic amber.
-==Relationships==
-Sabaconidae belongs to the superfamily Ischyropsalidoidea. The family originally consisted of just the genus ''[[Sabacon]]'', though ''[[Taracus]]'' was later added to the family. ''[[Hesperonemastoma]]'' was later moved to this family, as well, after molecular studies confirmed that this genus was closely related to ''Taracus''. However, a new family, [[Taracidae]], was later erected for ''Hesperonemastoma'' and ''Taracus'', leaving Sabaconidae once again as having just a single genus (''i.e.'' monogeneric). Currently, Sabaconidae is thought to be more closely related to Taracidae than Ischyropsalididae. The internal relationships of Sabaconidae are poorly understood.
