Abstract
The literature concerning South American thelyphonids presently supports recognition of about ten recent
species of thelyphonids representing two genera. Comparative and diagnostic features deduced from this
literature and from study of some of these species are provided herein together with a discussion of the
relevant morphological characters. A general review of the biology, distribution and diversity of the
Thelyphonida is also provided. The genus Amauromastigon is synonymized with Mastigoproctus on
subjective grounds. At least one species is known by fossils from the Lower Cretaceous of Brazil and is
discussed relative to its possible relationships to Recent American taxa.
