Abstract

The new genus Ceratochernes n. gen., its type species Ceratochernes guanophilus n. sp. and a second species, Ceratochernes granulatus n. sp., are described from the Cueva de los Guacharos and the Cueva de la Pared Norte, Venezuela. The new genus possesses a protuberance on the male palpal tibia, a paired spermatheca, no tarsal tactile seta and three blades in the flagellum. A new species of Petterchernes Heurtault is to be described from the Brazilian Amazon region. The genus Ancalochernes Beier from Mexico is restudied and considered a junior subjectif synonym of Chelodamus R.V. Chamberlin.
