of pseudocleobis Content from Chile has been revised. Pseudocleobis morsicans (Gervais, 1849) and P. chirensis Roewer, believed to be 1934. Species research. Pseudocleobis andinus (Pocock, 1899) has been removed from the Chilean fauna and its previous record is believed to be a misidentification. Pseudocleobis articola Pocock, 1900, was first recorded in Chile. Nine new species have been described, Pseudocleobis elongatus n. special, P. atacamensis n. special, P. Puna n. special, P. Clausi n. special, P. Choros n. special, P. Larakama n. special, P. Mumai n. special, P. Sekalovich n. sp. and P. Esquadra n. sp. This species can be distinguished by the morphology of the male chelicerae. Discuss relations with Chileans pseudocleobis Compare with other species of the genus based on morphology. This study increases the number of known Chilean isolates by almost 70% and reveals the high diversity of this group in Chile.
