Notozomus elongatus

Notozomus elongatus is a species of schizomid arachnid (commonly known as short-tailed whip-scorpions) in the Hubbardiidae family.

It was described in 2000 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey.

The specific epithet elongatus (Latin: ‘prolonged’ or ‘elongated’) refers to the unusually long and slender spermathecal receptacula.

[1][2] The species occurs in Far North Queensland, inhabiting plant litter in closed forest habitats.

The type locality is Mount Murray Prior, just east of the city of Cairns.
