Two new troglobitic species of the pseudoscorpion genus Anatemnus are described from north-western Australia.Both species occur in subterranean environments, with Anatemnus eminus sp.nov.found throughout the Pilbara, and Anatemnus capillatus sp.nov.collected from a cave on Barrow Island.Both species share morphological features with Anatemnus subvastus Alexander, Burger and Harvey, 2014, the first described troglobitic species from the Pilbara bioregion.
