Oreolpium semotum

Oreolpium semotum is a species of pseudoscorpion in the Garypinidae family. It was described in 2009 by arachnologists Mark Harvey and Frantisek Stahlavsky. The specific epithet semotum (Latin: 'distant' or 'far-off') refers to the wide geographical separation of the two known species in the genus.[1][2]

The body length of the male holotype is 2.48 mm; that of the female paratype 3.23 mm. The colour is generally very pale, with the pedipalps and front of the carapace slightly darker.[1]
