Fissiphalliidae are about two to three millimeters long, with legs ranging from three to almost nine mm. The color ranges from yellowish to pale brownish, sometimes with stripes or dots.[1]
Fissiphalliidae have been found in Bogotá, Colombia at elevations of about 3,500 meters, and in lowlands of central and eastern Amazon Rainforest.[1]
Fissiphalliidae could form a monophyletic group with Zalmoxidae, or even be a group within them.[1]
