Remarks.
Most of the published information on
Pseudoparasitus missouriensis
has been published under the name
G
.
austriacus
. It has been recorded many times, from North America, Europe and
Russia
. The species may be recognised by the relatively narrow exopodal plates behind coxa IV, very long and narrow metapodal plates, the very wide rounded genito-ventral shield, and a pair of opisthogastric setae in the soft skin between the genito-ventral and anal shields.
