Brignolizomus is a genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whip-scorpions. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described by Mark Harvey in 2000. [1]
The genus comprises three species from Queensland: [2]
Schizomida, also known as sprickets or short-tailed whip-scorpions, is an order of arachnids, generally less than 5 millimetres (0.20 in) in length. The order is not yet widely studied. E. O. Wilson has identified schizomids as among the "groups of organisms that desperately need experts to work on them."
Uropygi is an arachnid order comprising invertebrates commonly known as whip scorpions or vinegaroons. They are often called uropygids. The name "whip scorpion" refers to their resemblance to true scorpions and possession of a whiplike tail, and "vinegaroon" refers to their ability when attacked to discharge an offensive, vinegar-smelling liquid, which contains acetic acid. The order may also be called Thelyphonida. Both names, Uropygi and Thelyphonida, may be used either in a narrow sense for the order of whip scorpions, or in a broad sense which includes the order Schizomida.
Draculoides is a genus of troglobite schizomid arachnids endemic to North West Australia. Often mistaken for spiders, they are commonly known as short-tailed whip-scorpions or sprickets.
Hubbardiidae is a family of arachnids, superficially resembling spiders. It is the larger of the two extant families of the order, Schizomida, and is divided into two subfamilies. The family is based on the description published by Orator F. Cook in 1899. The American Arachnological Society assigns the common name hubbardiid shorttailed whipscorpion to members of this family.
Anepsiozomus is a genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whipscorpions, first described by Mark Harvey in 2001.
Apozomus is a genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whipscorpions, first described by Mark Harvey in 1992.
Sarax is a genus of amblypygids of the family Charinidae.
Apozomus alligator is a species of short-tailed whip-scorpions, also known as schizomids, in the Hubbardiidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1992 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey. The specific epithet alligator refers to the type locality.
Notozomus is a genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whip-scorpions. It is endemic to Australia and was first described by Mark Harvey in 1992.
Bamazomus is a genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whip-scorpions, first described by Mark Harvey in 1992.
Julattenius is a genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whipscorpions, or sprickets. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described by Mark Harvey in 1992.
Ovozomus is a genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whipscorpions, first described by Mark Harvey in 2001.
Enigmazomus is a genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whipscorpions, first described by Mark Harvey in 2006.
Attenuizomus is a genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whip-scorpions. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described by Mark Harvey in 2000.
Secozomus is a monotypic genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whipscorpions, first described by Mark Harvey in 2001. Its single species, Secozomuslatipes is distributed in Seychelles.
Mahezomus is a monotypic genus of hubbardiid short-tailed whipscorpions, first described by Mark Harvey in 2001. Its single species, Mahezomusapicoporus is distributed in Seychelles.
Attenuizomus baroalba is a species of schizomid arachnid in the Hubbardiidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2000 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey. The specific epithet baroalba refers to the type locality.
Brignolizomus walteri is a species of schizomid arachnid in the Hubbardiidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2000 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey.
Brignolizomus nob is a species of schizomid arachnid in the Hubbardiidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1992 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey. The specific epithet nob refers to the type locality.
Brignolizomus woodwardi is a species of schizomid arachnid in the Hubbardiidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1992 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey.
