Synsphyronus attiguus is a species of pseudoscorpion in the Garypidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1987 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey. The specific epithet attiguus (Latin: 'touching' or bordering') refers to its close geographical and morphological relationship with Synsphyronus absitus.[1][2]
The body length of the females is 3.7–4.2 mm; that of males 2.9–3.5 mm. Colouration is dark yellowish-brown.[1]
