The pseudoscorpion fauna of northern North America is poorly known, in part because of the scarcity of taxonomic resources. This photographic key was developed by combining existing keys with photographs of diagnostic characters from about 80 specimens of pseudoscorpions from North America. The key will classify 35 taxa (to genera and some species) of pseudoscorpions occurring in Canada and the adjacent USA. Some distribution notes are presented, along with information about habitat affinities and general ecology.

“…Genus Eulabidocarpus Lawrence, 1948 This genus was erected for the species Labidocarpus compressus Ewing, 1910 found on Pteropus edwardsii in Ceylon. According to the original description and photomicrograph, this species seems to belong to the family Chirodiscidae: however, it does not agree exactly with the genera represented so far in the Pteropidae (e.g., Alabidocarpus, Labidocarpellus and Pteropiella).…”

The oriental species of the genera Olabidocarpus Lawrence, 1948, Dentocarpus Dusbabek & Cruz, 1966, Labidocarpellus Fain, 1976 are revised. The species are redescribed and depicted except for a few which have been fully described recently. The total number of species known from these genera in this region is now 17. Labidocarpellus papuanus Fain, 1975 is replaced in the genus Pteropiella. The subgenus Dentocarpus (Paradentocarpus) is placed in synonymy with Labidocarpellus and the three species described in this subgenus (D. (P.) abyssinicus Fain, 1976, D. (P.) phyllodermae Fain, 1976, and D. (P.) kimberleyensis Fain & Lukoschus, 1981) are transferred to Labidocarpellus. Labidocarpellus notopteris L. novaeguineae Fain, 1976 are now transferred to Dentocarpus. Olabidocarpus peropteryx O. guyanensis Fain, 1972 are transferred to Labidocarpellus. A key is given to all the genera of Chirodiscidae parasitic on bats.In Tables I and II we give a list of the genera of Chirodiscidae represented in bats.

The mites known to parasitize the lower respiratory tract of birds are discussed and a host list of the various species is given.Sternostoma tracheacolum Lawrence, 1948, is redescribed and the variations in specimens from various hosts and localities are analysed. The synonymy of S. castroae with S. tracheacolum is confirmed and S. meddai and Agapornyssus faini are made new synonyms of S. tracheacolum. The specimens found in canaries vary widely according to the origin of the host. Those from South African and Italian canaries are closely related morphologically and present relatively long chelae, while specimens from Belgian and North American canaries have much smaller chelae. An intermediate form is found in a Brazilian canary. S. tracheacolum is thought to use wild birds as its normal hosts since it has been found repeatedly in birds in North America, as well as in other parts of the world, and because its presence in the trachea and lungs in these birds seems to be much better tolerated than in the canaries. Canaries are thus probably infested secondarily, and it seems that Passer domesticus has served in the transfer of the mites between the two groups. The specimens from wild birds present the same variability as those of the canaries, and one can also distinguish three different groups on the basis of the length of the chela. The origin of these variations is discussed. Geographical or biological isolation of the host probably plays a more important role than the host itself in the production of variation.Hypopi representing probably two species of the genus Falculifer have been found in the air-sacs and lungs of two central African birds. Also Speleognathus poffei, S. striatus and Boydaia sp. have been taken from the lungs or trachea of their hosts in Ruanda-Urundi or U.S.A.Collection of most North American material was carried out under a research grant (G-11035) from the National Science Foundation.The authors wish to thank the following for their co-operation and assistance in this study by making available various collections of Sternostoma tracheacolum: E. W. Baker, U.S. National Museum, Washington, D.C.; G. Owen Evans, British Museum (Natural History), London; D. P. Furman, University of California, Berkeley; S. Grétillat, Laboratoire Central de l'Elevage, Dakar; R. F. Lawrence, Natal Museum, Pietermaritzburg; and G. Lombardini, Rome.
