Geogarypus longidigitatus is a species of pseudoscorpion in the Geogarypidae family. It was described in 1897 by Australian arachnologist William Joseph Rainbow. Subsequently, several other described species were synonymised with it by Mark Harvey.[2][3]

Distribution and habitat

The species occurs widely in Oceania and Southeast Asia in tropical and subtropical habitats. It inhabits plant litter and soil, and may also be found beneath bark and stones.[3]

Behaviour

The pseudoscorpions are terrestrial predators.[3]
