Ischyropsalis is a genus of harvestmen in the family Ischyropsalididae, found in Europe. There are more than 20 described species in Ischyropsalis. Species in this genus range in body length from about four to 8.5 mm. They have moderately long legs; the enlarged chelicerae can be twice as long as the body. While they share this feature with the Nipponopsalididae, this is a case of convergent evolution; the elongated pedipalps are rather slender. Some species occur in caves. Members of this genus are restricted with many species found in the mountains, they reach into the Netherlands, northwestern Germany and Poland in the north and to Calabria in the south. A find from Sardinia; the genus name is a combination of Ancient Greek ischyros "strong" and psalis "shears", referring to the enlarged chelicerae. These 21 species belong to the genus Ischyropsalis: The following were determined to be synonyms of the above species and are no longer valid. According to L. Labrada and C. Prieto in Schönhofer, "Establishment of the present-day taxonomy and validating species-specific characters in Ischyropsalis have been facilitated by the thorough revision of Martens.

Having been unable to borrow many types from the Iberian Peninsula, part of his work remained hypothetical for that local fauna, corrected by Dresco and Prieto. Of the 42 species described or emended by Roewer only two remain valid." Pinto-da-Rocha, R. Machado, G. & Giribet, G.: Harvestmen - The Biology of Opiliones.
