Synsphyronus attiguus is a species of pseudoscorpion in the Garypidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1987 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey. The specific epithet attiguus ( Latin: 'touching' or bordering') refers to its close geographical and morphological relationship with Synsphyronus absitus. [1] [2]
The body length of the females is 3.7–4.2 mm; that of males 2.9–3.5 mm. Colouration is dark yellowish-brown. [1]
The species occurs in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia. The type locality is Mernmerna, 33 km north of Hawker, where the holotype was found under a rock. [2] [1]
The pseudoscorpions are terrestrial predators. [2]
