Two species of undescribed Pselaphidae were discovered during a comparison of the fauna of an uncut and a 40 year-old forest. The species are described here to provide names for a forthcoming paper comparing the pselaphid fauna of these two sites. Holotypes were cleared, disarticulated, and mounted on slides in Canada Balsam. Both are placed in the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago. All measurements of specimens are in millimeters. I would like to thank certain individuals for the loan of specimens, greatly extending the known ranges of these two new species. The abbreviations used to indicate specimen deposition follows the individual’s affiliation: Rickard Baranowski, Lund University, Sweden (RBC); J. Milton Campbell, Biosystematics Research Institute, Ottawa, Canada (CNCI); Michael A. Ivie, Montana State University, Bozeman (DZEC); and Alfred F. Newton, Jr., Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago (FMNH). Specimens otherwise lacking an indication of deposition are in the collections of the author and the University of New Hampshire. I would like to thank J. F. Burger and R. Marcel Reeves, University of New Hampshire, for reviewing the manuscript.
