Harmochirus brachiatus is a South East Asia Genus.

:A small genus very close to Bianor. H. brachiatus, is a widespread species.

Harmochirus is a rainforest species.

The male of H. brachiatus's cephalothorax is cube-shaped, fairly high, the cephalus flat and the thorax and sides almost vertical. In plan, the carapace is a broad oval, a little longer than wide and has a fairly wide truncate posterior margin.

The abdomen is a very broad oval and almost circular.

Legs are long and the femora, patellae and tibiae of legs I are massive. All the other segments are slender and shiny. There are fringes on the swollen segments of leg I and substantial spines beneath tibiae I and metatarsi I. Elsewhere there are few other spines.

The carapace is rugose and brown in colour with a thin white, marginal stripe along each side.

The abdomen is entirely covered by a dark brown, shiny scutum. Legs I are brown and the others are brownish yellow with brown stripes, particularly on the femora. Distribution: Although there are not many species, the range of Harmochirus stretches from Africa to Japan and Australia.
