Anatemnus subvastus is a species of pseudoscorpion in the Atemnidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2014 by Australian arachnologists Jason Alexander, Mieke Burger and Mark Harvey. The specific epithet subvastus, from Latin: sub ('under') and vastus ('waste' or 'desert'), refers to the species’ underground habitat in the semi-arid Pilbara.[1][2]
