Abstract

Two new pseudoscorpion species, Pseudotyrannochthonius cheni sp. n. and Allochthonius (A.) fanjingshan sp. n. (family Pseudotyrannochthoniidae Beier, 1932) are described and illustrated. P. cheni sp. n. represents the first record of this genus from China and is also the first epigean (surface) species to be recorded from eastern Asia because all other species (from Korea and Japan) occur in subterranean habitats. A. (A.) fanjingshan sp. n. is the eighth species in this genus from China and reflects a wider distribution of the genus in this country. Detailed diagnosis, descriptions and illustrations are presented together with distribution maps and some habitat information.
