Are there more than one species of Pseudoscorpian in the ACT? This one looks quite different than the others I have seen, darker, larger, and more elongated.

There are 178 described species in Australia.

But a manageable number of families. At this stage I don’t know where to go to get a description of them and their characteristics.

John this site does have a photo galley of the families - would appreciate if you could have a go at getting this down to its family
