Abstract
Several collections of pseudoscorpions from caves in Ohio and Indiana have revealed two new species and extended the known ranges of two oth er species. Cavernicolous pseudoscorpions are reported from Ohio for t he first Lime; these are Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) virginicus, Hes perochernes mirabilis, and an unusual new, blind species described as Apochthonius hobbsi n. sp. Additions to the sparse cave fauna of India na are Hesperochernes mirabilis; and Hesperochernes holsingeri n. sp. and an undescribed chthoniid represented only by an isolated palp.
