0n a Pseudoscorpion from Congo 



By Edv. Ellingsen, Kragero (Norway). 



The animai, described below and belonging to the zoological Museum 

 cf the Università 7 of Modena, has been taken in Congo and is the first 

 Pseudoscorpion recorded from that country, but no new species. It has 

 been described from Itoki in Camerun by Alb. Tullgren in 1001. To 

 Tullgren's excellent description and figure l have not much to add, 

 yet, for the sake of control I give a full description of the only spe- 

 cimen 1 have had before me. It was labelled: « Yumbi sul fiume Congo, 

 alto Congo ».

 tropical Africa; they are easily enumerated:
