Olpium australicum is a species of pseudoscorpion in the Olpiidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1969 by Austrian arachnologist Max Beier. [1] [2]
The species occurs in Western Australia and South Australia. The type locality is Madura on the Eyre Highway in the Roe Plains. The pseudoscorpions inhabit plant litter. [2]
The pseudoscorpions are terrestrial predators. [2]

Satrapanus is a monotypic genus of pseudoscorpions in the Chernetidae family. It is endemic to Australia's Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. It was described in 2007 by Australian arachnologists Mark Harvey and Erich Volschenk. The generic epithet comes from the Latin satrapa with reference to the pseudoscorpion being the only known species of the genus on the island.
