Palps: Short and stout, coxa smooth, trochanter as usual, femur shorter than cephalothorax; pedicellate, inner margin almost straight at base, then suddenly concave to tip, outer margin evenly but not strongly convex; tibia broad, pedicellate, suddenly enlarging on inner side near base, outer margin evenly convex. Trochanter, femur, tibia strongly granulate and sparsely covered with these "saw-like" hairs.
Hand: Broad as it is long, greatly swollen on inner margin near base; fingers slightly curved and as long as the hand.
Mandibles: Small; spinnerets small and transparent; serrula attached throughout the length of the moveable finger.

This specimen was found on the window pane of the Pomona College greenhouse. A fly (Musca domestica) lit on the pane and the pseudoscorpion caught its legs and clung while the fly crawled about. This is the only one of its kind that has been found.
