This list represents all of the Pseudoscorpiones thus far recorded from the states of Tennessee and North Carolina. The list was compiled by William B. Muchmore and James C. Cokendolpher. Many of the species do not occur in the GSMNP, but are listed here because of the ease of gathering records from political (states) rather than geographical (mountains) localities. The habitat of the mountains is quite different from that of the Atlantic coast or the Mississippi River and therefore lowland species listed here are not expected to occur in the mountains. We believe additions to the GSMNP fauna will more likely be members of faunas that are also found further north, along the Appalachian mountain chain, than from nearby lowland areas in the two states. The study of the pseudoscorpiones of the GSMNP is just beginning and this list is simply a starting point. Species for which specimens have been recorded from the Park are marked "GSMNP". Some of these specimens may have been misidentified in the literature, so the list should only be considered as tentative until the specimens can be reexamined.
