Notozomus curiosus is a species of schizomid arachnid (commonly known as short-tailed whip-scorpions) in the Hubbardiidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2000 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey. The specific epithet curiosus (Latin: ‘odd’ or ‘strange’) refers to the uncertain generic position of this unusual species.[1][2]
