Introduction
Pseudocheylidae is a small and little-known family of lightly sclerotised elongate mites found in moss, leaf litter, birds' nests, and under bark (Baker & Atyeo 1964). They are believed to be predators, and the family appears to be cosmopolitan (Ueckermann & Khanjani 2004). Three named species in two genera are known from Australia. Unidentified species have been recorded from Australia a number of times as listed for each genus, and unidentified Pseudocheylidae were also reported by Springett (1976), Callan et al. (2011), Beyer et al. (2011) and Proctor et al. (2011).
