Ideoblothrus seychellesensis is a species of pseudoscorpion.[2] It is found in the Seychelles on Felicite Island and Silhouette Island.[3][1] As of 2012, the species has been considered endangered and is listed on the IUCN red list.[1]
Ideoblothrus seychellesensis has been documented on two islands - Felicite Island and Silhouette Island, both in the Seychelles. Its recordings are on coastal habitats, and is likely found under bark in lowland woodland. However, it is unknown if it truly resides under bark, as the others of the Ideoblothrus genus are typically found among leaf litter in tropical forests. More evidence is needed.[1]
