Chthonioidea Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Arachnida Order: Pseudoscorpionida Superfamily: Chthonioidea Families The Chthonioidea are a superfamily of pseudoscorpions. The superfamily contains two families[1]:
- Tridenchthoniidae — worldwide (c. 17 genera, 70 species)
- Chthoniidae — worldwide (c. 30 genera, 600 species)
Some authors consider the genus Lechytia to be in its own family Lechytiidae, rather than to reside in Chthoniidae.[2] The fossil species Dracochela deprehendor from the Devonian is grouped in the family Dacochelidae.[3]
