Pseudotyrannochthonius australiensis is a species of pseudoscorpion in the Pseudotyrannochthoniidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1966 by Austrian arachnologist Max Beier. [1] [2]
The species occurs in eastern New South Wales. The type locality is Edith, some 11 km south-east of Oberon. [1] [2]
The pseudoscorpions are terrestrial predators that inhabit plant litter. [2]
Pseudoscorpions, also known as false scorpions or book scorpions, are small, scorpion-like arachnids belonging to the order Pseudoscorpiones, also known as Pseudoscorpionida or Chelonethida.

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.
