Tirrenosiro is a genus of harvestmen in the suborder Cyphophthalmi with two described species (as of 2024).[1][2] Both species are found in Southern Europe.[1][3][4]
The genus Tirrenosiro was described by Karaman, Mitov & Snegovaya, 2024,[5] with the type species Parasiro minor Juberthie, 1958.

The genus is masculine. The prefix is derived from the Tyrrhenian Sea, reflecting the distribution of the described species.[5] The suffix echos the name Siro, as a common suffix for several cyphophthalmid genera.
