Afrosternophorus anabates is a species of pseudoscorpion in the Sternophoridae family. It was described in 1985 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey. The specific epithet anabates (Greek: 'rider' or 'passenger') refers to the phoretic behaviour shown by some specimens.[1][2]
Body lengths of males are 2.2–2.5 mm; those of females 2.4–3.4 mm.[1]
