Anaulacodithella plurisetosa is a species of pseudoscorpion in the Chthoniidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1976 by Austrian arachnologist Max Beier. [1] [2]
The body length is 1.3–1.5 mm. [1]
The species occurs only on Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. The type locality is Boat Harbour. The pseudoscorpions are found in plant litter. [1] [2]

Lord Howe Island is an irregularly crescent-shaped volcanic remnant in the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand, part of the Australian state of New South Wales. It lies 600 km (320 nmi) directly east of mainland Port Macquarie, 780 km (420 nmi) northeast of Sydney, and about 900 km (490 nmi) southwest of Norfolk Island. It is about 10 km (6.2 mi) long and between 0.3 and 2.0 km wide with an area of 14.55 km2, though just 3.98 km2 of that comprise the low-lying developed part of the island. The island is named after Richard Howe, 1st Earl Howe.
