摘要
New species of pseudoscorpions (Arachnida, Pseudoscorpiones: Chthoniidae, Chernetidae) from caves in China. - Three new species are described and figured in the genus Tyrannochthonius J.C. Chamberlin (akaelus sp.n., ganshuanensis sp.n., antridraconis sp.n.), two species in the genus Megachernes Beier (glandulosus sp.n., tuberosus sp.n.) and one species of Nudochernes Beier (troglobius sp.n.). The affinities of these new taxa are discussed. They bring up to 13 the number of species currently recorded from caves in China, but this is certainly only a small proportion of the total number occurring in the numerous cave systems of this country.
