Pseudoscorpions are a group of arachnids that inhabit various habitats, but only a few species occur in the intertidal zone, where their dispersal is presumably facilitated by ocean currents. In Taiwan, only two coastal species, Garypus wilsoni Lin & Chang, 2022 and Garypus sanasai Lin, Huang & Chang, 2022, have been formally recorded. In this study, we document the first record of the genus Anchigarypus Harvey, 2020, describe a new species, Anchigarypus longimanus sp. nov. , report its molting nest, and provide the first identification key for the species of Anchigarypus worldwide. We also provide the first descriptions of female specimens of G. wilsoni and G. sanasai .
