The specie Pseudochthonius heterodentatus Beier, 1946 is reported for the first time from Colombia, their distribution area being increased. The sampling effort allowed to register near 86% of the pseudoescorpion species, therefore, can be consider a good approximation to the fauna of pseudoescorpion in the department of Sucre.
