Dactylochelifer is a genus of arachnids belonging to the order Pseudoscorpiones. These small insects are commonly known as pseudoscorpions due to their resemblance to scorpions, but they lack a stinger. Dactylochelifer species are typically found in leaf litter and soil, where they feed on small invertebrates. They have a distinctive claw-like structure called a chelicera, which they use to capture prey.
