Draculoides vinei is a species of schizomid arachnids (commonly known as short-tailed whip-scorpions) in the Hubbardiidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1988 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey. The specific epithet vinei honours Brian Vine, a student of the species’ biology. [1] [2]
The species occurs in North West Western Australia. The type locality is Shot Pot Cave, C-106, on the Cape Range Peninsula. [1] [2]
The arachnids are cave-dwelling, terrestrial predators. [2]
