The total number of 31 species listed in this paper, gives a fairly complete picture of the Pseudoscorpionide fauna of Israel. The interest of this fauna, situated at an important zoogeographical crossroad, is emphasized. Ten new species and 3 new subspecies are described. From the three new genera established, Apolpiolum n. gen. shows close coincidence with the neotropical genus Apolpium Beier, while the new genus Paramenthus n. gen. is the first palaearctic representative of the hitherto american family Menthidae. Myrmecowithius n. gen. is closely related to the east-african genus Nannowithius Beier.
A key for the identification of the 31 species from Israel is attached. A few stations from Jordan and the Sinai peninsula are also included in the present paper.
