| description | A new species of pseudoscorpion, Afrogarypus foordi sp. nov. (Pseudoscorpiones, Geogarypidae), is described in honour of South African arachnologist Stefan Hendrik Foord.

It is amongst the smallest species of Afrogarypus (chela length ca. 0.6–0.8 mm) and differs from its congeners by lacking trichobothrium isb on the fixed chelal finger, monotarsate legs I and II, and details of the galea and dentation of the chelal fingers. |
