Synsphyronus bounites 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 bounites (Greek: 'dweller in the hills') refers to the montane localities of the two type specimens.[1]
The body length of the holotype male is 3.4 mm; that of the female paratype is 3.7 mm. Colouration is reddish-brown.
The species occurs in south-eastern Australia. The type locality is Wilsons Valley, near Mount Kosciuszko in south-eastern New South Wales, where the holotype was found in plant litter and soil. A paratype was obtained from moss on the north-west side of Mount Pilot in north-eastern Victoria.[1]
The pseudoscorpions are terrestrial predators.[1]
