Sumario:Four new troglomorphic pseudotyrannochthoniid pseudoscorpion species collected from karst caves in Guizhou Province are described with detailed diagnoses and illustrations: Allochthoniusbainiensissp. nov. from Liangfeng Cave (Xishui County), Allochthoniuspandussp. nov. from Daozuo Cave (Xishui County), Allochthoniusxinqiaoensissp. nov. from Sanjie Cave (Fenggang County), and Spelaeochthoniuswulibeiensissp. nov. from Wulibei Cave (Weining County). Spelaeochthoniuswulibeiensissp. nov. represents the first record of the genus in China. The diagnostic features of these four new cave-adapted (troglomorphic) species are presented and discussed, as well as compared with closely related species. The data on their distribution, habitat and ecology of the species are also given.
