Pseudoscorpions from South America 



collected by Dr. A. Borelli, A. Bertoni de Winkelried, aud Prof. Goeldi. 



By Edv. Ellingsen Kragero (Norway). 



The rich collections of Pseudoscorpions in the Museo zoologico of 

 the University of Torino contain a great number of specimens from 

 Southern America, collected and brought home by several travelling 

 scientists. Thus Dr. A. Borelli has made collections at Tala (Salta) 

 and at San Lorenzo - in Argentine, at Unicum (Corumba) in Brazil ; 

 A. Bertoni de Winkelried has collected at yNsuncion and at Puerto 

 Bertoni (alto Parana) in Paraguay; Prof. Goeldi has sent specimens 

 collected at Para; there is also a specimen from Ceara in Brazil 

 without indication of collector. 



For the confìdence the authorities of the Museo zoologico bave 

 shown me, in trusting me with the study of these animals, I seize 

 the opportunity in this place to bring my best thanks. 



Besides descriptions, for the sake of control, of those species, about 

 which I cannot refer to my publication on the Pseudoscorpions from 

 Ecuador, I have also tried to give keys for the easier determination 

 of the species of the four subgenera of Chelifer, recorded from South 

 America, a task not very easy, partly from my not having seen ali 

 the mentioned species, partly from the great uniformity of the cha- 

 racters, especially in the subgenus Lamprochernes. 



Chelifer Geoffroy. 

 Subgenus Atemnus. 



No eyes. No trans verse grooves on the cephalothorax. Hairs ge- 

 nerally simple.
