pseudoscorpions
Garypidae is a family of pseudoscorpions established by Eugène Simon in 1879. The family comprises eleven accepted genera, including the type genus Garypus. Members of this family are distributed across multiple continents, with records from Europe and elsewhere. The family belongs to the superfamily Garypoidea within the suborder Iocheirata.
Neobisioidea
Neobisioidea is a superfamily of pseudoscorpions established by Chamberlin in 1930. It contains seven families, including Gymnobisiidae, Hyidae, Neobisiidae, Parahyidae, and Syarinidae. Members of this superfamily exhibit diverse ecological specializations, with some species restricted to moist leaf litter habitats and others adapted to subterranean cave environments. Several families show Gondwanan distribution patterns and high levels of short-range endemism.
Pseudogarypidae
Pseudogarypid Pseudoscorpions
Pseudogarypidae is a small family of pseudoscorpions within the superfamily Feaelloidea. The family comprises two extant genera—Pseudogarypus and Neopseudogarypus—with most recent species distributed in western North America. A single extant species, Neopseudogarypus scutellatus, is endemic to Tasmania, representing a notable disjunct distribution. The family also includes several fossil species preserved in Baltic amber from the Eocene.
