A new species of troglobitic Parobisium pseudoscorpion is described from two caves developed in granite talus slopes in the Yosemite Valley, U.S.A. The 16 species of the genus are all from the northern hemisphere (western U.S.A., China, Japan, South Korea). A taxonomic key to the genus in the U.S.A. is provided. The new species has only an anterior pair of pale colored eyespots without tapetum and is blind. Extensive searching at other shallow nearby caves and on the surface has not revealed any other specimens of this species, although it is common within certain areas of the two known caves. This may be only the second troglobite described from granite talus caves in North America, and suggests the potential for fruitful exploration in regions not traditionally sampled for subterranean fauna
