On some Pseudoscorpions from Patagonia 



collected by Dr. Filippo Silvestri 



By EDV. ELMNGSEN, Kragero (Norway). 



I received sotne time ago frotn Piof. Filippo Silvestri in Portici for 

 delermination some P^seiidoscoi-pions from Patagonia, collected there by 

 himself. Among these animais ihere was one form, specially interesting, 

 as it will briiig oiit of oblivion a genus, over-Iooked for many years. 

 Eug. VOI! Dadny constituted in 1887 (1) a genus Garypinus, which he 

 based on a specios, considered by him to be possibly identic with L. 

 Koch's Olpium (liiiiidiatum. This genus has however not been taken 

 iiito consideratioa by the later syj;tematis(s, but this proves to be wrong. 

 The latest author, who tried to put the Pseudoscorpions into a S3'stem, 

 partly basing on L. Balzan's works, is Dr. H. J. Hansen (2). He kept 

 the two groups of Balzan : Panctenodactyli and Emictenodactyli, The 

 lattei' group does not concern us bere, only the former. This group, 

 the Panctenodactyli, was by Hansen divided into 2 families, characte- 

 rized thus: 



1. Cheliferidae. 



The femora of the two anteriol- pairs of legs undivided or having but 

 a basai trochantin. 

 AH tarsi 1-jointed. 

 None or 2 eyes.
