Redescription of the bee-associate Ellingsenius fulleri, new record, Hewitt and Godfrey (Arachnida Chelonethi Cheliferidae) with new records from Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

Ellingsenius fulleri (Hewitt and Godfrey), a bee-associated pseudoscorpion, is redescribed. New records are given for Mozambique, Oman, Iran, Cyprus and Spain. Ellingsenius somalicus Beier, from Somalia, is regarded as a junior subjective synonym. The presence of E. fulleri in Europe is probably due to human introduction. It is suggested that Hansenius Chamberlin is the sister genus of Ellingsenius Chamberlin and that E. fulleri is a relatively plesiomorphic species of Ellingsenius.
