Abstract
ABSTRACT A new genus and species of chernetid pseudoscorpion, Alinnaechernes itororoi n. sp., is described from the Brazilian Cerrado domain, southeast region, found under the bark of Copaifera langsdorffii Des. (Fabaceae). Alinnaechernes n. gen. can be distinguished from other genera by: (1) the presence of a bilobed protuberance on the prolateral margin of the pedipalpal chela of males, with a small distal tooth on each lobe; (2) the spermathecae consist of two small, elongated bulbous sacs that are broadly connected at the base; (3) trichobothrium et situated subdistally, it distal of et, est at same level as ist, ib slightly distal to eb and at same level as esb, ist at same level as esb. The description of this new genus represents an important contribution to the knowledge of the pseudoscorpion fauna of the Brazilian savanna.
