Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) lagadini n.sp. (Chthoniidae, Pseudoscorpiones), a new endemic epigean pseudoscorpion from Macedonia

Abstract

A new species of epigean pseudoscorpion pertaining to the genus Chthonius C. L. Koch 1843 from Macedonia is erected. Its relationship to phenetically close congeners is briefly discussed. The new species, Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) lagadini n. sp. is a relict form presently known only from its type locality (Lagadin, nr. Ohrid, Macedonia).
