Barbaraella is a monotypic genus of pseudoscorpions in the Chernetidae family. It is endemic to Australia, and was described in 1995 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey. [1] [2] [3]
The generic (Barbaraella) and specific (mainae) epithets honour arachnologist Barbara York Main (1929–2019) for her contributions to arachnology and for inspiring a generation of enthusiasts. [1]
The genus contains the single species Barbaraella mainaeHarvey, 1995. [1] [2] [4]
The body length of males is 2.67–3.26 mm; that of females is 3.79–3.82 mm. The colour is mainly pale yellow, with the pedipalps pale reddish-brown. [1]
