Notozomus faustus 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 faustus (Latin: ‘fortunate’ or ‘lucky’) refers to the luck involved in collecting this small species.[1]
The species occurs in North Queensland, inhabiting plant litter in closed forest habitats. The type locality is Conway National Park, some 900 km north-west of Brisbane.[1]
The arachnids are terrestrial predators.[1]
