Pachyloidellus goliath is a species of tropical harvestman that is native to Argentina in South America. It is mainly active at night and is a generalist predator that feeds mostly on earthworms and a variety of small insects.

It has been observed both in groups of several individuals inhabiting the same rock and alone.
