Abstract

A new species of Cheliferidae is described from Thailand: ?Dactylochelifer martensi sp. n. Ancistrochelifer orientalis (Beier, 1967), comb. n. ex Hysterochelifer Chamberlin, 1932, a subcortical pseudoscorpion from northern Thailand, is redescribed. The status of the genus Metachelifer Redikorzev, 1938 is briefly discussed in connection with Metachelifer nepalensis (Beier, 1974), nom. revalid. & comb. n. ex Hysterochelifer, and Metachelifer macrotuberculatus (Krumpal, 1987), comb. n. ex Dactylochelifer Beier, 1932.
