Charon gervaisi is a species of amblypygid arachnid (whip-spider) in the Charontidae family. It was described in 1998 by Australian arachnologists Mark Harvey and Paul West. The specific epithet gervaisi honours French palaeontologist and entomologist Paul Gervais (1816–1879), who described the first species in the genus.[1][2]
