Pseudochactidae Gromov, 1998 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This family was isolated as monotypic, consisting of one genus with one species from Central Asia ( Tajikistan , Uzbekistan ). Later, two more genera (also monotypic) from the caves of Southeast Asia ( Vietnam , Laos ) were described. They live in semi-savannahs and in caves. Perhaps this family is related to the families of Buthidae and / or Chaerilidae [1] .
