The name of the type genus is based on the name of a fictional Bornean prince-pirate.[1]
Sandokanidae range in body size from about 2–11 mm. Their legs are relatively short and stout. Most species are amber colored with some dark brown patterns. A few undescribed Gnomulus species are orange.[2]
This family is known from Southeast Asia from Indonesia, almost reaching New Guinea on Waigeo , up north into the Himalayan region.[2]
Sandokanidae are probably the sister group to all other Grassatores .[2]
