Marachernes bellus is a species of pseudoscorpion in the Chernetidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1992 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey. The specific epithet bellus (Latin: 'pretty' or 'lovely') refers to the species’ beauty.[1]
The body length of males is 2.74–3.14 mm; that of females 2.99–3.34 mm. The colour is mainly yellow-brown, with the carapace, pedipalps and legs dark red-brown.
The species occurs in south-western Victoria and in Tasmania. The type locality is Separation Creek in the Otway Ranges, where the pseudoscorpions were found beneath eucalypt bark in association with colonies of Iridomyrmex ants.[1]
The pseudoscorpions are terrestrial predators.[1]
