They are UNIX98 pseudo-tty's.  From /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt: 

136-143 char    Unix98 PTY slaves
                  0 = /dev/pts/0        First Unix98 pseudo-TTY
                  1 = /dev/pts/1        Second Unix98 pesudo-TTY
                    ...

                These device nodes are automatically generated with
                the proper permissions and modes by mounting the
                devpts filesystem onto /dev/pts with the appropriate
                mount options (distribution dependent, however, on
                *most* distributions the appropriate options are
                "mode=0620,gid=<gid of the "tty" group>".)
