Balgachernes is a monotypic genus of pseudoscorpions in the Chernetidae family. It is endemic to Australia, and was described in 2018 by Australian arachnologist Mark Harvey. The name of the genus combines the common name 'balga' for the grasstree species Xanthorrhoea preissii, with which the pseudoscorpions are associated, with the genus name Chernes (Greek: 'labourer').^[1]^[2]^[3]
