## Summary

Rilaena triangularis is a species of the harvestman family Phalangiidae. Previously it has been considered to be in the genus and subgenus Platybunus (Paraplatybunus) Dumitrescu, 1970, in the subfamily Platybuninae. Caution is needed with the name "Paraplatybunus". Although claimed as a potential genus in many online sources, the generic rank does not appear to have any foundation in the underlying academic literature, but instead was only published as a subgenus.
