abstract = {Pseudoscorpions are amongst the oldest terrestrial lineages
but there is a major gap in the fossil record between the
oldest fossils from the Devonian (ca. 385 million years ago)
and rich fossil communities in amber that mostly originate
from the Eocene of Europe. Burmese/Myanmar amber (or
Burmite) from the middle Cretaceous preserves a diverse
community of pseudoscorpions but these remain poorly
documented, despite their exceptional preservation and
potential to offer unique insights into evolutionary
history. Here we describe a new genus and species of
pseudoscorpion with a unique morphology of the chelicerae,
Prionochthonius burmiticus gen. et sp. nov., from Burmese
amber. Although some key characters remain obscure, the
fossil can be confidently attributed to the basal
pseudoscorpion family Chthoniidae, but it cannot be assigned
to any extant or other fossil genus. Based on trichobothria
patterns, it is most similar to extant genera that are found
only in the Southern Hemisphere; findings that are in line
with previous studies suggesting Gondwanan origins for at
least some of the Burmese amber invertebrates. The fossil
provides further evidence for a diverse community of litter-
and soil-dwelling pseudoscorpions in the Late Cretaceous
that comprises many extinct genera but represents many of
the modern families. It also suggests that the
diversification of chthoniid pseudoscorpions occurred well
before the middle Cretaceous, and that the principle gestalt
of its members has changed relatively little over time.},
