Compiler and date details

Mark S. Harvey, Western Australian Museum, Perth, Western Australia, Australia

Introduction

The Pseudogarypidae are found in habitats such as under bark of trees, under rocks, in leaf litter and in caves. Currently two genera and seven Recent species are recognised; three species are known from Baltic amber (Harvey 1991). Neopseudogarypus scutellatus Morris is Australia's only representative and is restricted to Tasmania.

 

Diagnosis

The Pseudogarypidae can be distinguished easily from all other pseudoscorpions by the presence of carapaceal alae.
