THE PSEUDOSCORPIONS OF TEXAS. 
By Nathan Banks. 
Some time ago Mr. C. T. Brues sent me some pseudoscorpions 
from Texas. Most of them were taken near Austin, and several 
of them from ant-nests. Two of these prove to be new species. 
This induced me to examine and determine all my Texan material 
in this order. There are lo species, six of these belong to one 
genus Chelanops, four of them being new. One of the species 
found in an ant's-nest occurs also near Washington, D. C, often 
under large stones. The most common Texan species is Chela- 
nops ohlongiis, a species widely distributed in the United States 
east of the Rocky Mountains. The two species of Chelifer are 
found in many parts of the eastern United States, the C. cancroides 
usually in houses or other buildings. When more attention is paid 
to collecting these creatures, no doubt the Texan list will be double 
what it is now.
