Abstract:
Records of anomalies in trichobothrial pattern in pseudoscorpions are rare. Different abnormalities in the location of trichobothria in Xenochelifer davidi Chamberlin (Chamberlin 1949), Roncus pripegala Ćurčić (Ćurčić 1988), Neobisium carpaticum Beier, N . cephalonicum (Daday) (Ćurčić 1980), N . simoni (L. Koch), and N . bernardi Vachon (Ćurčić and Dimitrijević 1989) have been reported. In the Neobisiidae, anomalies in trichobothrial disposition are confined to adults and tritonymphs. The aberrations include the following: the irregular distribution of some trichobothria on both pedipalpal chelae, although normal setal count is still maintained, as in N . cephalonicum (Ćurčić 1980); the reduction in the number of trichobothria due to reduction in size or some other anomaly of one or both pedipalpal chelae, as in N . bernardi , N . simoni , and N . carpaticum (Ćurčić 1980; Ćurčić and Dimitrijević 1989); or the occurrence of a supernumerary trichobothrium when both pedipalpal chelae are of normal length, as in R . pripegala (Ćurčić 1988).
