Pseudoscorpion
Pseudoscorpions, also known as false scorpions or book scorpions, are small, scorpion-like arachnids belonging to the order Pseudoscorpiones, also known as Pseudoscorpionida or Chelonethida. Pseudoscorpions are generally beneficial to humans since they prey on clothes moth larvae, carpet beetle larvae, booklice, ants, mites, and small flies. They are tiny, and are rarely noticed due to their small size, despite being common in many environments. When people do see pseudoscorpions, especially indoors, they are often mistaken for ticks or small spiders. Pseudoscorpions often carry out phoresis, a form of commensalism in which one organism uses another for the purpose of transport. Characteristics Pseudoscorpions belong to the class Arachnida. They are small arachnids with a flat, pear-shaped body, and pincer-like pedipalps that resemble those of scorpions. They usually range from in length.Pennsylvania State University, DepartmentEntomological Notes: Pseudoscorpion Fact Sheet/r ...

Bochicidae
Bochicidae is a family of pseudoscorpions distributed throughout the Americas from Texas and Mexico to South America, from the Antilles to Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil, as well as in Europe (Iberian Peninsula). Members of the family can be diagnosed mainly by features of the claws, notably the presence of exactly 12 trichobothria on each claw (members of other similar families possess many more) and a long, as opposed to short, venom Venom or zootoxin is a type of toxin produced by an animal that is actively delivered through a wound by means of a bite, sting, or similar action. The toxin is delivered through a specially evolved ''venom apparatus'', such as fangs or a sti ... duct. Some species live in caves while some are surface-dwelling. Muchmore (1998) includes the genera '' Paravachonium'' and '' Vachonium'' in this family but many authors place these in a separate family, Vachoniidae.

Ideoroncidae
Ideoroncidae is a family of pseudoscorpions belonging to the order Pseudoscorpiones. Members of the family are known from Asia, Africa, western North America and South America. Genera: * '' Afroroncus'' Mahnert, 1981 * '' Albiorix'' Chamberlin, 1930 * '' Botswanoncus'' Harvey & Du Preez, 2014 * '' Dhanus'' Chamberlin, 1930 * '' Ideoroncus'' Balzan, 1887 * '' Mahnertius'' Harvey & Muchmore, 2013 * '' Muchmoreus'' Harvey, 2013 * '' Nannoroncus'' Beier, 1955 * '' Negroroncus'' Beier, 1931 * '' Pseudalbiorix'' Harvey, Barba, Muchmore & Pérez, 2007 * ''Shravana'' Chamberlin, 1930 * '' Sironcus'' Harvey, 2016 * '' Typhloroncus'' Muchmore, 1979 * '' Xorilbia'' Harvey & Mahnert, 2006 A fossil genus, '' Proalbiorix'' is known from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber Burmese amber, also known as Burmite or Kachin amber, is amber from the Hukawng Valley in northern Myanmar. The amber is dated to around 100 million years ago, during the latest Albian to earliest Cenomanian ages of the mid-Cr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Neobisiidae
Neobisiidae is a family of pseudoscorpions distributed throughout Africa, the Americas and Eurasia and consist of 550 species in 32 genera. Some species live in caves while some are surface-dwelling. Characteristics The body color ranges from reddish or dark brown through olive green to yellow or creamy white. The legs are greenish. They usually have four eyes, but cave-dwelling species often have two or no eyes at all. The body length ranges from 1 to 5 mm. Specimens of Neobisiidae have two very long pedipalps with ''palpal chelae'' (pincers) which strongly resemble the pincers found on true scorpions. The pedipalps consists of an immobile "hand" and "finger", with a separate movable finger controlled by an adductor muscle. Contrary to most other pseudoscorpions a venom Venom or zootoxin is a type of toxin produced by an animal that is actively delivered through a wound by means of a bite, sting, or similar action. The toxin is delivered through a specially evolved ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
