All available material pertaining to Tyrannochthonius Chamberlin from the United States east of the Mississippi River has been examined. The range of the single species already described from this area, T. floridensis Malcolm and Muchmore, is extended. Ten new species are described here; all are troglobites from caves in Alabama.
The genus Mundochthonius Chamberlin is generally Holarctic in distribution, with only a single species describedfrom amore southern area, namely M. mexicanus Muchmore (1973) in Nuevo Leon, northernMexico (see Harvey 1991). It is, therefore, of considerable interest to report a new species on Hispaniola in the Caribbean Sea, within the tropics. I am indebted to Michael A. Ivie for sending me the unique type specimen.
