            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Although these specimens were collected 320 km from the type locality in Caldas Department, we refer them to the species  C. ankeri . They have similar pedipalp proportions; however, their patches of glandular setae are different. The holotype of  C. ankeri has two small patches in sternite VIII, and those examined here have one long patch of setae (Fig. 6A, C). We ascribe this characteristic to intraspecific variation. </p>

            </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Cystowithius florezi can be separated from the other  Cystowithius species as follows.  Cystowithius florezi sp. nov. is very similar to  C. colombicus Harvey, 2004 and  C. ecuadoricus Harvey, 2004, so we provide a detailed comparison for each one in Table 1. In general,  C. colombicus has bigger pedipalp segments and the patches of glandular setae located in sternites VII-IX; in  C. florezi the patches are just in sternite VIII. Also, the sternal pockets are in sternites VI and VII in  C. colombicus and in V-VIII in  C. florezi . It differs from  C. chamberlini by the chelal hand being smooth rather than strongly granulated in  C. florezi , and the position of the tactile setae on tarsus IV located close to midway of the tarsus, rather than distal in  C. florezi ; from  C. ankeri by the length of the movable chelal finger which is longer in  C. ankeri than in  C. florezi (0.70 mm vs 0.52 mm); and from  C. smithersi by the length of the chela with pedicel which is longer in  C. smithersi than in  C. florezi (1.35 mm vs 1.02 mm). </p>

Chelal teeth rounded; fixed finger with 40 (♂) teeth; movable finger with 43 (♂) teeth; accessory teeth absent. </p>
            <p>Coxal region: coxal chaetotaxy: ♂, 6: 7: 9: 18; maxilla with 19 setae including two apical setae and one very small internal, sub-oral seta; median maxillary lyrifissure medial-anterior in position, posterior lyrifissure present.</p>
            <p> Legs (Fig. 8F, G): junction between femora and patellae I and II parallel, junction in legs III and IV oblique; tarsal tactile seta of leg IV situated distally, 0.76 (♂) of tarsus length (Fig. 8G); arolium slightly shorter than claws.

Sternal chaetotaxy: ♂, 10: (1) 6 (1): (1) 8 (1): 14: 12: 8 + 13/13 gls: 8 + 18/16 gls: 8: 8: 6 (including two clavate setae): 2; sternites VII-VIII of ♂ with two small patch circles of glandular setae each (Figs 9F, 10B-D), paratypes with one circular patch of glandular setae each (Fig. 9E); setae uniseriate and acuminate; ♂ without paired invaginations on anterior margins of sternites.</p>
            <p> Genitalia: simple structure with most of the components extremely reduced to chitinized lateral apodemes that do not merge with the dorsal apodemes. The level of sclerotization of the ejaculatory channel is weak; however, it is projected from the lateral apodemes, which allows us to classify  Oligowithius as a  Cacodemoniini (Fig. 11). </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>This species is named after the indigenous people, original inhabitants of the Meta, Vichada and the Venezuelan Llanos, the Achaguas. The name should be treated as a noun in apposition.</p>

            <p> Genus  Oligowithius Beier, 1936 stat. nov.</p>
            <p> Dolichowithius (Oligowithius) Beier, 1936: 447. </p>
            <p>Type species.</p>
            <p> Dolichowithius (Oligowithius) abnormis Beier, 1936, by monotypy. </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> The genus  Oligowithius can be distinguished from other Neotropical withiid genera by the presence of a patch of glandular setae on sternites VII and VIII either in one or two small circular patches in the middle of the sternites, the distal position of the tactile setae on tarsus IV, the presence of two non-corneate eyes, and the trichobothria it and isb located far apart. Moreover, the male genitalia are characterized by a pair of lateral apodemes that are not merged with the dorsal apodemes (Fig. 11). </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Beier (1936) described four new species of pseudoscorpions from the Caribbean islands of Bonaire,  Curaçao and Aruba, and from Venezuela. Among them was  Dolichowithius (Oligowithius) abnormis Beier, 1936 which represented the type species of the newly described subgenus  Dolichowithius Oligowithius Beier, 1936. Unfortunately, the description was very short and the justification for the subgenus was limited. The holotype and only known specimen of  D. (O.) abnormis cannot be traced in Naturalis Center, Amsterdam (Dr Bram van der BIjl, in litt. 10 July 2019) or the Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna (Dr Christoph  Hörweg , in litt. 9 July 2019), which renders the status of the species and subgenus difficult to assess. We have studied three specimens of an unusual, small withiid from Colombia that closely resembles  D. (O.) abnormis in the morphology of the male glandular setae and in the positions of the trichobothria. We found sufficient differences between these specimens and the description of  D. abnormis to consider it as a new species. We also found sufficient differences between the new species from Colombia and species of  Dolichowithius to warrant the elevation of  Oligowithius to full genus level. The differences between  Dolichowithius and  Oligowithius are as follows: patch of glandular setae on sternites VII and VIII in  Oligowithius and on sternites VII-IX in  Dolichowithius , trichobothria isb and it far apart in  Oligowithius and close together in  Dolichowithius , and the male genitalia with a pair of lateral apodemes that are not merged with the dorsal apodemes in  Oligowithius , while they are merged in  Dolichowithius . </p>

            <p> Genus  Paciwithius gen. nov.</p>
            <p>Type species.</p>
            <p> Paciwithius chimbilacus sp. nov. </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Paciwithius can be distinguished from all other withiids by the absence of tergal keels, absence of eyespots, absence of a tactile seta on tarsus IV, the trichobothrium it is midway between isb and et, the presence of a patch of glandular setae on sternite VIII with an elongated shape, and the first three to six tergites are entire. The male genitalia have dorsal apodemes extending over its entire length, lateral apodemes extending over most of the ejaculatory canal atrium, ejaculatory canal curved dorsally in lateral view and lateral rods straight, extending beyond the lateral apodemes in dorsal view. This genus was mentioned as "nr. Victorwithius " in Romero-Ortiz and Sarmiento (2021). </p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> The genus name refers to the Latin for peace, pax. Colombia has had a long history of violence and since the peace agreement in 2016, much effort has been put into making this country a peaceful land, including the Truth Commission (  Comisión de la Verdad). Thanks to all the efforts for peace, we do believe that the change is inevitable. The name is masculine. </p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> This new genus is placed within the  Cacodemoniini as it has the triangular elongation made by the fusion of the dorsal and the lateral apodemes in the male genitalia that are characteristic of that tribe (Harvey 2015; Romero-Ortiz and Sarmiento 2021). The trichobothrial pattern has it and isb separated, and the only other Neotropical cacodemoniine genera with the same pattern are  Tropidowithius Beier, 1955,  Balanowithius Beier, 1959, and  Victorwithius Feio, 1944.  Paciwithius gen. nov. differs from males of  Victorwithius by the patches of glandular setae on several sternites (restricted to sternite VIII in  Victorwithius ), and differs from  Tropidowithius ,  Balanowithius , and  Victorwithius by the lack of eyespots and the lack of a tarsal tactile seta, which are present in these three latter genera. The only other withiid genera that lack a tactile seta on tarsus IV are  Nannowithius Beier, 1932 and  Termitowithius Muchmore, 1990 (see Harvey 2015). </p>
