Synsphyronus christopherdarwini is a species of pseudoscorpion in the Garypidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2012 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey. The specific epithet christopherdarwini honours Christopher Darwin, who assisted in the collection of the type specimens as well as sponsoring the establishment of the reserve in which they were discovered.[1][2]
Body lengths of males are 3.37–3.84 mm; those of females 4.00–4.31 mm. Colouration is generally dark yellowish-brown.[1]
