from Dr. Steve Taylor, INHS:
"Psuedoscorpions' classfication is based on extremely small structures - I just would not be comfortable assigning names without the critter in hand."
(I suspected that much, and for that very reason was reluctant to make a fam.page based on the unsubstantiated ID. =v=)
