Die Pseudoskorpione (Arachnida) Kenyas II. Feaellidae; Cheiridiidae

Abstract

The pseudoscorpions (Arachnida) from Kenya. II. Feaellidae; Cheiridüdae.-The se- cond part is dealing with these two families (without implicating any phylogenetic affin- ities). One new species is described in the genus Feaella, one in Pseudochiridium, two in Cheiridium, one in Apoeheiridium and two in \Neocheiridium. This genus was previously known only from the neotropical region. Cryptocheiridium kivuense is recorded for the first time from Kenya. Identification keys are proposed for the Ethiopian species of the genera Feaella (Tetrafeaella) and Pseudochiridium, and for all species known in Neocheiridium. All the species of the two families recorded from Kenya are keyed.
