Tribe Troglocormini Soleglad & Sissom, 2001
Type Genus. Troglocormus Francke, 1981 View in CoL .
Composition. This monotypic tribe includes a single genus, Troglocormus View in CoL .
Distribution. North America ( Mexico).
Taxonomic history. Troglocormus was previously included in subfamily Megacorminae of Chactidae ( Sissom, 1990) , or in Euscorpiidae without distinguishing a subfamily (Fet & Sissom, 2000a). This tribe was established by Soleglad & Sissom (2001) who demonstrated its affinity to the Asian scorpiopines.
Biogeographic history. Two species of Troglocormus are found only in the caves of north-central and northeastern Mexico (Fet & Sissom, 2000a), and clearly represent an ancient, relict lineage.
Diagnosis. See Soleglad & Sissom (2001) for details.
