Austrochthonius Pseudoscorpions

Austrochthonius Chamberlin, 1929

Type species: Chthonius chilensis Chamberlin, 1923

Fauna Portal Genus Number: 3386

(after Harvey and Mould 2006): Austrochthanius belongs to a group of genera characterised by the presence of coxal spines only on coxa II and that lack one or more enlarged spine-like setae on the interno-basal margin of the chelal hand. The relationships and status of some of these genera is doubtful and some rationalisation may be expected in the future.
