'''Neobisiidae''' is a [family](/source/Family_(taxonomy)) of [pseudoscorpion](/source/pseudoscorpion)s distributed throughout Africa, the [Americas](/source/Americas) and [Eurasia](/source/Eurasia) and consist of 748 [species](/source/species) in 34 [genera](/source/Genus). Some species live in caves while some are surface-dwelling.

==Characteristics==
The body color ranges from reddish or dark brown through olive green to yellow or creamy white. The legs are greenish. They usually have four eyes, but cave-dwelling species often have two or no eyes at all. The body length ranges from 1 to 5 mm.

Specimens of Neobisiidae have two very long [pedipalp](/source/pedipalp)s with ''palpal [chelae](/source/Chela_(organ))'' (pincers) which strongly resemble the pincers found on true [scorpion](/source/scorpion)s. The pedipalps consists of an immobile "hand" and "finger", with a separate movable finger controlled by an [adductor muscle](/source/Adduction). Contrary to most other pseudoscorpions a [venom](/source/venom) gland and duct are located in the immobile "finger" part of each pedipalp, rather than in the movable one. The venom is used to capture and immobilize the prey.

==Genera==
{{as of|2023|11}}, the ''World Pseudoscorpiones Catalog'' accepts the following thirty-four genera:<ref name="NMBE">{{cite web |date=2023 |title=Neobisiidae Chamberlin, 1930 |url=https://wac.nmbe.ch/order/pseudoscorpiones/genera/29 |access-date=1 November 2023 |website=World Pseudoscorpiones Catalog |publisher=Natural History Museum Bern}}</ref>
