Abstract
Two new troglobitic species of pseudoscorpion genus Pseudochthonius are described from Bahia State, Brazil. Detailed morphological descriptions, diagnostic features, and illustrations of Pseudochthonius cesarioensis sp. nov. and Pseudochthonius gonssaloensis sp. nov. are provided. Additionally, we discuss future research directions for these species and provide a key to distinguish the Brazilian Pseudochthonius species.
