Iandumoema is a genus of harvestmen, with three species known only from caves in the state of Minas Gerais, Southeastern Brazil. The genus name derives from from the Tupi language words "iandu" ("spider") and , moema ("false"), in reference to the popular misconception that harvestmen are spiders.[1]The species Iandumoema smeagol lacks eyes.[2]
