Garypus titanius, the giant pseudoscorpion, is the largest species of pseudoscorpion—small, scorpion-looking creatures—in the world. Critically endangered, it is restricted to Boatswain Bird Island, a small rocky island off Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean. Pseudoscorpions are venomous arachnids and are generally tiny—around 3 mm long. The giant pseudoscorpion, though, can grow to five times that size at 11 mm. It lives among seabird colonies, feeding mainly at night on smaller prey such as insects. It belongs to the Garypidae family.
Neobisiidae is a family of pseudoscorpions distributed throughout Africa, the Americas and Eurasia and consist of 748 species in 34 genera. Some species live in caves while some are surface-dwelling.
Hesperochernes is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the family of Chernetidae.
Pseudotyrannochthoniidae is a family of pseudoscorpions, belonging to the superfamily Chthonioidea. It represents the most basal and primitive group of living pseudoscorpions, with less than 100 species in 6 genera. Living members of the group have a strongly disjunct distribution, likely reflecting ancient vicariance, occurring in Australia, Asia, Southern Africa and Madagascar, Western North America and southern South America. Fossils species are known from the Eocene Baltic and Bitterfeld amber, which represent members of extant Asian genera.
Austrochernes is a genus of pseudoscorpions in the subfamily Chernetinae, first described by Max Beier in 1932. Species of this genus are found in mainland Australia and New Guinea. The Australian Faunal Directory decisions for synonymy are based on a 2018 paper by Mark Harvey.

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.
