Vindullus Simon, 1880 is revisited and two species, erroneously allocated in Olios Walckenaer, 1837, are transferred to the genus. Vindullus fugiens (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1890) comb. nov. and V. guatemalensis (Keyserling, 1887) comb. nov. were described based on male specimens from Guatemala. Both species are redescribed and illustrated. A revised diagnosis is given for the genus including newly evaluated characters for freshly collected females of V. angulatus Rheims \& J{\"a}ger, 2008. In addition, an illustrated identification key for all known males of the genus is provided, new distribution records are listed for V. angulatus Rheims \& J{\"a}ger, 2008, V. gibbosus Rheims \& J{\"a}ger, 2008 and V. gracilipes (Taczonowski, 1872) and a distribution map is provided showing the updated distribution of the genus.

Hoedillus sexpunctatus Simon, 1898 was described from a single female specimen collected in Guatemala and is the type\ species of the monotypic genus Hoedillus Simon, 1898. This genus was originally placed in the family Sparassidae\ Bertkau, 1872, subfamily Heteropodinae Thorell, 1873. In a review of this subfamily, J\äger (2002) determined that\ Hoedillus was misplaced in Sparassidae due to the lack of metatarsal trilobate membranes. Hoedillus was transferred to\ the family Zoridae Pickard-Cambridge, 1893 by J\äger (2002), now a junior synonym of Miturgidae Simon, 1886\ (Ram\írez 2014). Ram\írez (2014), suggested Hoedillus may be a member of the Xenoctenus group, but provisionally\ listed it as a Miturgidae, awaiting further investigation.\ In a field trip to Nicaragua in 2012 a male and a female specimens belonging to the genus Hoedillus were collected.\ The type specimen for H. sexpunctatus was unavailable for examination by the authors. However, based on descriptions\ and illustrations made by J\äger (2002), the female was identified as H. sexpunctatus. The male, collected at the same\ locality was determined to be conspecific based on similarities in morphology. This study provides the first examination\ of the male H. sexpunctatus, as well as a redescription of the female from specimens collected in Nicaragua. This study\ reveals Hoedillus to be misplaced in Miturgidae, and the genus is transferred to the Zoropsidae Bertkau, 1882.

Flirtea C.L. Koch, 1839, is one of the oldest genera described in Cosmetidae, currently including 30 species mostly from the Andes. Its type species, Cosmetus pictus Perty, 1833, from Brazil, the type material of which is long lost, has since long been misidentified in the literature due to a redescription based on another unrelated species, while the true F. picta was widely known as Flirtea phalerata C.L. Koch, 1840. This unrelated species is here described as Cynorta pictoides sp. nov. Flirtea picta is here redescribed based on abundant material collected in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest biome from Bahia state, and a neotype is designated for its type species. Here, we propose a particular pattern of a white mask blot on the dorsal scutum be called \“scaramuccia\”, and variation in this pattern is described. Genital morphology of Flirtea picta is described for the first time. Flirtea is rediagnosed and most species currently assigned to Flirtea are suggested to belong to other genera. Cynorta valida Roewer, 1928 and Paecilaema batman Pinto-da-Rocha \& Yamaguti, 2013 are newly transferred to Flirtea, yielding the new combinations Flirtea valida and Flirtea batman.

Cavernicolous species that exhibit a high degree of troglomorphism often provide some of the most intriguing evolutionary riddles. For such taxa, the correct systematic arrangement is difficult to determine and becomes problematic when based solely on highly convergent external morphological characters, leading to exaggerated support of spurious relationships. For the arachnid order Opiliones, examination of male genitalia morphology often aids in determining the family to which a particular taxon belongs. However, many taxa described prior to the 1990s lack detailed descriptions or drawings of this important character and, for highly-derived species, it is may still be necessary to seek support from additional sources of characters (e.g. molecular data) to accurately assess systematic placement. The enigmatic species Stygnomma pecki Goodnight \& Goodnight, 1977 from a cave in Belize proved to be especially difficult to place based on morphological characters alone. Thus, using a previously published dataset for laniatorean harvestmen, we carried out a robust phylogenetic analysis aiming to determine the evolutionary relationship of this Neotropical troglomophic species. Informed by the results of the molecular phylogenetic analysis of 88 terminals representing Laniatores, we describe Jarmilana gen. nov. and provide a redescription of the type species Jarmilana pecki (Goodnight \& Goodnight, 1977) comb. nov. Morphological evidence, including male genitalia morphology, supports the inclusion of J. pecki in the family Pyramidopidae. This represents the first record for the family Pyramidopidae in the New World, raising the question of whether this represents transoceanic dispersal or a relict of an ancient widespread tropical Gondwanan distribution.

Morphological traits of euophryine jumping spiders were studied to clarify generic limits in the Euophryinae and to permit phylogenetic classification of genera lacking molecular data. One hundred and eight genera are recognized within the subfamily. Euophryine generic groups and the delimitation of some genera are reviewed in detail. In order to explore the effect of adding formal morphological data to previous molecular phylogenetic studies, and to find morphological synapomorphies, eighty-two morphological characters were scored for 203 euophryine species and seven outgroup species. The morphological dataset does not perform as well as the molecular dataset (genes 28S, Actin 5C; 16S-ND1, COI) in resolving the phylogeny of Euophryinae, probably because of frequent convergence and reversal. The formal morphological data were mapped on the phylogeny in order to seek synapomorphies, in hopes of extending the phylogeny to include taxa for which molecular data are not available. Because of homoplasy, few globally-applicable morphological synapomorphies for euophryine clades were found. However, synapomorphies that are unique locally in subclades still help to delimit euophryine generic groups and genera. The following synonyms of euophryine genera are proposed: Maeotella with Anasaitis; Dinattus with Corythalia; Paradecta with Compsodecta; Cobanus, Chloridusa and Wallaba with Sidusa; Tariona with Mopiopia; Nebridia with Amphidraus; Asaphobelis and Siloca with Coryphasia; Ocnotelus with Semnolius; Palpelius with Pristobaeus; Junxattus with Laufeia; Donoessus with Colyttus; Nicylla, Pselcis and Thianitara with Thiania. The new genus Saphrys is erected for misplaced species from southern South America.

In this paper we call attention to the identity of the type species of Thiodina Simon, 1900, T. nicoleti Roewer, 1951. When Simon proposed the genus, he characterized it based on morphological features found in species he described, but not found in the type species he designated, and whose type specimens, apparently, he had not examined. Nicolet\’s original description makes it clear that the type species is not closely related to the more familiar species placed in the genus. This misinterpretation was followed by contemporary researchers and survives until today. Here we designate and describe a neotype for T. nicoleti. We revalidate Colonus F.O.P.-Cambridge, 1901 and Nilakantha Peckham \& Peckham, 1901 to transfer most species formerly placed in Thiodina. The combinations Colonus puerperus (Hentz, 1846), Nilakantha cockerelli Peckham \& Peckham, 1901 and N. peckhami Bryant, 1940 are restored.

The classification of jumping spiders (Salticidae) is revised to bring it into accord with recent phylogenetic work. Of the 610 recognized extant and fossil genera, 588 are placed at least to subfamily, most to tribe, based on both molecular and morphological information. The new subfamilies Onomastinae, Asemoneinae, and Eupoinae, and the new tribes Lapsiini, Tisanibini, Neonini, Mopsini, and Nannenini, are described. A new unranked clade, the Simonida, is recognized. Most other family-group taxa formerly ranked as subfamilies are given new status as tribes or subtribes. The large long-recognized clade recently called the Salticoida is ranked as a subfamily, the Salticinae, with the name Salticoida reassigned to its major subgroup (the sister group to the Amycoida). Heliophaninae Petrunkevitch and Pelleninae Petrunkevitch are considered junior synonyms of Chrysillini Simon and Harmochirina Simon respectively. Spartaeinae Wanless and Euophryini Simon are preserved despite older synonyms. The genus Meata Żabka is synonymized with Gedea Simon, and Diagondas Simon with Carrhotus Thorell. The proposed relationships indicate that a strongly ant-like body has evolved at least 12 times in salticids, and a strongly beetle-like body at least 8 times. Photographs of living specimens of all 7 subfamilies, 30 tribes, and 13 subtribes are presented.

The tarantula genus Sericopelma was originally defined based on male specimens, most notably lacking tibial spurs on leg I. Early female specimens were unrecognised as Sericopelma, and typically placed in Eurypelma \– a dumping ground for problem specimens. The first females were only later recognised, but authors failed to adequately define female Sericopelma. Here, the holotypes of the Southern-most alleged Brachypelma species, B. embrithes (Chamberlin \& Ivie, 1936) and B. angustum Valerio, 1980 were examined, and finding both to possess defining characteristics of Sericopelma were transferred. The taxonomic attributes to define Sericopelma relative to Brachypelma and select other Neotropical genera are discussed, especially for females. As important diagnostic characters for Sericopelma, the single (unilobar) spermathecae swollen at the apex forming a P-shaped cross-section, metatarsus IV with trace scopula, femur IV with a dense retrolateral pad of plumose hair, plus other attributes. Some past confusion in these characters are clarified and Sericopelma relative to Brachypelma and Megaphobema mesomelas are discussed. Finally recommendations are given about these taxonomic changes for CITES regulations.

The drawings in the original descriptions of E. kawitpaaia (Barrion \& Litsinger, 1995) and E. turongdaliriana (Barrion \& Litsinger, 1995) are sufficiently informative to exclude these species from Elaver but not to accurately establish its generic affiliation. Thus, until the types become available for examination, these species must remain as Clubionidae incertae sedis. Heterochemmis (F.O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1900) is synonymized with Elaver and Heterochemmis mutatus Gertsch \& Davis,1940 is recognized as a junior synonym of Elaver mirabilis n. comb., the type species of Heterochemmis. New records are presented for E. valvula, E. balboae, E. brevipes (Keyserling, 1891), E. grandivulva and E. lutescens (Schmidt, 1971). Two species described by Franganillo, E. tenera (Franganillo, 1935) and E. tenuis (Franganillo, 1935), are considered species inquirendae.

A phylogenetic analysis of the two-clawed spiders grouped in Dionycha is presented, with 166 representative species of 49 araneomorph families, scored for 393 characters documented through standardized imaging protocols. The study includes 44 outgroup representatives of the main clades of Araneomorphae, and a revision of the main morphological character systems. Novel terminology is proposed for stereotyped structures on the chelicerae, and the main types of setae and silk spigots are reviewed, summarizing their characteristics. Clear homologs of posterior book lungs are described for early instars of Filistatidae, and a novel type of respiratory structure, the epigastric median tracheae, is described for some terminals probably related with Anyphaenidae or Eutichuridae. A new type of crypsis mechanism is described for a clade of thomisids, which in addition to retaining soil particles, grow fungi on their cuticle. Generalized patterns of cheliceral setae and macrosetae are proposed as synapomorphies of the Divided Cribellum and RTA clades. Dionycha is here proposed as a member of the Oval Calamistrum clade among the lycosoid lineages, and Liocranoides, with three claws and claw tufts, is obtained as a plausible sister group of the dionychan lineage. The morphology of the claw tuft and scopula is examined in detail and scored for 14 characters highly informative for relationships. A kind of seta intermediate between tenent and plumose setae (the pseudotenent type) is found in several spider families, more often reconstructed as a derivation from true tenent setae rather than as a phylogenetic intermediate. Corinnidae is retrieved in a restricted sense, including only the subfamilies Corinninae and Castianeirinae, while the \‘\‘corinnid\’\’ genera retaining the median apophysis in the copulatory bulb are not clearly affiliated to any of the established families. Miturgidae is redefined, including Zoridae as a junior synonym. The Eutichuridae is raised to family status, as well as the Trachelidae and Phrurolithidae. New synapomorphies are provided for Sparassidae, Philodromidae, and Trachelidae. Philodromidae is presented as a plausible sister group of Salticidae, and these sister to Thomisidae; an alternative resolution placing thomisids in Lycosoidea is also examined. The Oblique Median Tapetum (OMT) clade is proposed for a large group of families including gnaphosoids, trachelids, liocranids, and phrurolithids, all having the posterior median eye tapeta forming a 90u angle, used for navigation by means of the polarized light in the sky as an optical compass; prodidomines seem to have further enhanced the mechanism by incorporating the posterior lateral eyes to the system. The Teutamus group is recognized for members of the OMT clade that are usually included in Liocranidae, but not closely related to Liocranum or phrurolithids. The Claw Tuft Clasper (CTC) clade is proposed for a group of families within the OMT clade, all having a peculiar mechanism grasping the folded base of the claw tuft setae with a hook on the superior claws. The CTC clade includes Trachelidae, Phrurolithidae, and several gnaphosoids such as Ammoxenidae, Cithaeronidae, Gnaphosidae, and Prodidomidae. A remarkable syndrome involving the expansion of the anterior lateral spinnerets, often sexually dimorphic, is here reported for some Miturgidae and several members of the CTC clade, in addition to the known cases in Clubionidae and \‘\‘Liocranidae.\’\’ The following genera are transferred from Miturgidae to Eutichuridae: Calamoneta, Calamopus, Cheiracanthium, Cheiramiona, Ericaella, Eutichurus, Macerio, Radulphius, Strotarchus, Summacanthium, and Tecution; Lessertina is transferred from Corinnidae to Eutichuridae. The following genera are transferred to Miturgidae: Argoctenus, Elassoctenus, Hestimodema, Hoedillus, Israzorides, Odomasta, Simonus, Thasyraea, Tuxoctenus, Voraptus, Xenoctenus, Zora, and Zoroides, from Zoridae; Odo and Paravulsor, from Ctenidae; Pseudoceto from Corinnidae. The following genera are transferred from Corinnidae to Trachelidae: Afroceto, Cetonana, Fuchiba, Fuchibotulus, Meriola, Metatrachelas, Paccius, Paratrachelas, Patelloceto, Planochelas, Poachelas, Spinotrachelas, Thysanina, Trachelas, Trachelopachys, and Utivarachna. The following genera are transferred from Corinnidae to Phrurolithidae: Abdosetae, Drassinella, Liophrurillus, Plynnon, Orthobula, Otacilia, Phonotimpus, Phrurolinillus, Phrurolithus, Phruronellus, Phrurotimpus, Piabuna, and Scotinella. Dorymetaecus is transferred from Clubionidae to Phrurolithidae. Oedignatha and Koppe are transferred from Corinnidae to Liocranidae. Ciniflella is transferred from Amaurobiidae to Tengellidae.

A cladistic analysis based on parsimony was performed to test the monophyly of Cteninae. The data matrix comprises 72 terminal taxa scored for 88 characters from external morphology, female internal genitalia, and two behavioural characters. Cteninae, as currently delimited, is polyphyletic. The monoplyly of Cteninae requires the transfer of two Ctenus species to Enoploctenus (Acantheinae) and two Ctenus species to Asthenoctenus (Viridasiinae). Ctenus, the genus type, comprises approximately half of the described species of the family, and is polyphyletic as currently delimited. From the 32 Ctenus species added to this analysis, only 13 are recognized as Ctenus s.s.: (C. rectipes (C. pauloterrai (C. manauara, C. nigritus ((C. dubius, C. crulsi) ((C. amphora, C. minor) (C. medius, C. paubrasil (C. fernandae (C. ornatus, C. vehemens)))))))).

The scorpion genus Diplocentrus Peters, 1861, endemic to North and Central America, is the most diverse in family Diplocentridae Karsch, 1880. There is considerable morphological variation among the species of Diplocentrus. It is necessary to test the monophyly and phylogenetic position of Diplocentrus in order to revise its diagnosis and taxonomic limits. The present contribution provides a phylogenetic analysis of 29 species of Diplocentrus, five exemplar species representing the three putatively most closely related diplocentrid genera, and an exemplar of a more distantly related diplocentrid genus. The analysis was based on 95 morphological characters and 4202 aligned nucleotides from DNA sequences of five markers in the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. Separate and simultaneous parsimony analyses of the morphological and DNA sequence data were conducted with equal weighting and six implied weighting regimes. The nuclear and mitochondrial DNA datasets were also analyzed separately and simultaneously with Bayesian inference. The resulting topologies recovered the monophyly of Diplocentrus, with the exception of two neobothriotaxic species from central Mexico, for which a new genus Kolotl Santibáñez-López et al., 2014, is justified. The keyserlingii group, as previously defined, was not monophyletic due to the placement of two species in the mexicanus group; the rest of its component species were monophyletic, however. A third clade was recovered that has not been previously recognized: the zacatecanus group, comprising four species from northern Mexico and the southwestern U.S.A. New insights are provided concerning relationships among Diplocentrus and the diplocentrid genera Bioculus Stahnke, 1968 and Didymocentrus Kraepelin, 1905, the phylogenetic positions of which were previously ambiguous.

A new species of spider from Michoacán, Physocyclus peribanensis sp. nov. is described. This description is based on a male holotype and one female paratype. Also, the first description of the female of Physocyclus paredesi Valdez-Mon- dragón from Oaxaca, Mexico is provided, as well as the redescription of the male. This paper provides a cladistic reanal- ysis of the spider genus Physocyclus Simon, corroborating the monophyly of the genus with morphological data. The phylogenetic reanalysis was done with 54 morphological characters (44 binary and 10 multistate) using equal and implied weighting approach. The equal weighting analysis found two most parsimonious trees, whereas the analysis with implied weighting found just one most parsimonious trees with the concavity values (K= 5\–10). The genus Physocyclus is com- posed by two clades or species groups: the globosus and the dugesi groups. Physocyclus peribanensis sp. nov. belongs to the dugesi group composed of 21 species, and P. paredesi to the globosus group composed of 11 species. With the new species described here, the number of known species of the genus Physocyclus increases to 32 species. The globosus group has a biogeographical distribution pattern in the Mesoamerican and Mexican Mountain biotic components, whereas the dugesi group has a biogeographical distribution in the Mesoamerican and Continental Nearctic biotic components.

Relatively little is known about the food habits of neotropical harvestmen. We used Erginulus clavotibialis (Pickard-Cambridge 1905), a locally abundant species of cosmetid harvestman in Belize, in a food choice experiment. Individuals were presented with fresh fruit (pineapple) and live invertebrate prey (termites) in an experimental chamber. This species showed a strong preference for fruit, as 72\% of individuals ate it first and 67\% spent the most time in the fruit- containing portion of the experimental chamber. Five E. clavotibialis (13\%) consumed termites, confirming this species\’ ability to capture and consume live invertebrate prey. Adult males located food more quickly than nymphs. Harvestmen feeding on fruit were also significantly more active than non-feeding individuals or those preying upon termites first. Opportunistic frugivory may be important to E. clavotibialis during times when fruit is available (e.g., wet season). We hypothesize that this species exhibits a generalist diet in the field.

But documentation of how differences in genital structures of closely related species correlate with differences in the behavior of their genitalia during copulation is rare. This study describes how the genitalia of the spider Leucauge argyra (Walckenaer 1841), a species in which both male and female have unusual derived structures, are used during copulation and compares their sexual behavior with previous descriptions of genital behavior in the congener L. mariana (Taczanowski 1881) and the genital morphology of other Leucauge species. Males of L. argyra have two prominent derived genital structures, both of which interact directly with the female; one of them apparently locks against a modified female structure, while the other is inserted into the female atrium. On the other hand, the most prominent derived female structure does not lock against or receive any male structure and may serve to sense movements of the male palp, perhaps to trigger deposition of a strong copulatory plug by the female. The female atrium is unusual in that it receives insertions of both the male{\textquoteright}s conductor and his cymbial hook. Both derived male structures of L. argyra may have evolved to stabilize the male{\textquoteright}s genitalia during intromission, perhaps in response to violent and dangerous female resistance or to perforate the strong plug that is probably produced or at least moved into place by the female. The rotating and projecting movements executed by male genitalia in L. argyra, which as in other spiders are presumably produced by the hydraulic unfolding of complex membranes in the palp, are quite different from the movements of the male genitalia of L. mariana. We speculate that in spiders in general, changes in palpal sclerites are often accompanied by changes in the movements of the sclerites, and thus by changes in the unstudied internal membranes of the palp.}, keywords = {Copulatory plugs, genital evolution, genital movements}, url = {http://www.americanarachnology.org/JoA_tocs/JOA_contents_v41n1.html}, author = {Barrantes, Gilbert and Aisenberg, Anita and Eberhard, William G} } @article {8103, title = {The goblin spider genus Oonopoides in North and Central America (Araneae, Oonopidae)}, journal = {American Museum Novitates}, volume = {3788}, year = {2013}, pages = {1-38}, abstract = {

The goblin spider genus Oonopoides Bryant was established for a species from Cuba, Oonopoides maxillaris Bryant, and most of the species that have subsequently been assigned to the genus are from that island. The group is actually circum-Caribbean in distribution, but many of its members have been misplaced in the genus Oonops Templeton; here we treat those representatives of the genus that have been collected in North and Central America. Six specific names are transferred from Oonops to Oonopoides: O. endicus Chickering from Florida and the Bahama Islands, O. secretus Gertsch from Texas and Tamaulipas, O mitchelli Gertsch from Mexico, and O. pallidulus (Chickering), O. tenebus Chickering, and O. anoxus Chickering from Panama. Males of O. zullinii Brignoli from Mexico and females of O. secretus are described for the first time; O. tenebus is placed as the male, and hence a junior synonym, of O. pallidulus. The holotype of Oonops zeteki Chickering from Panama is a juvenile that probably belongs to Costarina Platnick and Dupérré and the name is placed as a nomen dubium. Eight new species are described: O. iviei from Florida and the Bahama Islands, O. catemaco, O. chicanna, and O. kaplanae from Mexico, O. hondo from Honduras, O. cristo and O. upala from Costa Rica, and O. cartago from Costa Rica and Panama.

With 30 species and a natural distribution in North America, 28 confined to Mexico, Physocyclus Simon 1893 is the most diverse genus within the pholcid spider subfamily Arteminae. This paper provides the first phylogenetic test of the genus\’s monophyly through a cladistic analysis of 54 morphological characters using equal and implied weighting. The equally weighted analysis found 12 most parsimonious trees, whereas the analysis with implied weights varying the concavity values (K 5 6\–10) found five or six most parsimonious trees. The monophyly of the genus Physocyclus is supported by three synaphomorphies: 1) the paired ventral apophysis on the anterior part of the epigynum; 2) the lateral constraints in the middle part of the epigynum; and 3) the arc of the uterus, with a single sclerotized projection on the anterior part. The genus Physocyclus contains two clades treated as species groups: the globosus group, with 11 species, and the dugesi group with 19 species. The species relationships within the globosus group were better resolved than those in the dugesi group. The globosus group has a biogeographical distribution pattern in the Mesoamerican and Mexican Mountain biotic components, whereas the dugesi group has a distribution pattern in the Mesoamerican and Continental Nearctic biotic components. Given the complex biogeography in Mexico, apparently a large-scale vicariant event separated the two major clades within the genus Physocyclus.

A new genus of soft-bodied oonopids, Neotrops, is established for a large assemblage of goblin spiders found in all tropical and subtropical areas of the Neotropical region, from Panama to Uruguay and central Argentina. Members of Neotrops have spinose forelegs, and share a general palpal morphology with those of Heteroonops Dalmas, but have a prolateral conductor connected with an internal bulbal vesicle that presumably discharges its secretion through a prolateral slit. Females lack a posterior receptacle in the internal genitalia, having only a posterodorsal plate serving for muscle attachment. Here we treat all the species except those from Brazil, which will be addressed in a subsequent paper. Twenty-three new species are described: N. darwini (type species), N. lorenae, and N. sciosciae (from Argentina and Uruguay); N. yunga, N. piacentinii, N. poguazu, and N. lopardoae (from Argentina); N. rubioi, N. pombero, and N. avalosi (from Argentina and Paraguay); N. labarquei (from Uruguay), N. yabare, N. izquierdoi, and N. kopuchianae (from Bolivia); N. pithecia, N. silvae, and N. pakitza (from Peru); N. platnicki, and N. waorani (from Ecuador); N. santamarta and N. caparu (from Colombia); and N. maracay and N. amacuro (from Venezuela). Four additional species, previously placed in Oonops Templeton, are transferred here to Neotrops: O. nigromaculatus Mello-Leita ̃o, from Argentina and Uruguay; O. tucumanus Simon, from Argentina; O. donaldi Chickering, from Panama; and O. trapellus Chickering, from Trinidad and Venezuela. The females of the three latter species are here described for the first time. Most of the species are known from the leaf litter or the foliage of tropical and subtropical forests, but also from grasslands in the southern parts of their distributional range, where they appear as the dominant soft-bodied oonopids. The relationships of this new taxon are briefly discussed, and intrageneric groupings are also proposed.

The type species of Costarina, C. plena (O.

The same region also houses 26 additional new species with much smaller distribution ranges: C. iviei, C. llama, C. oaxaca, C. mixtepec, C. naja, C. sepultura, and C. bochil from southern Mexico, C. belmopan, C. peten, C. macha, C. cahui, C. morales, and C. izabal from Belize and Guatemala, C. cortes, C. cofradia, C. cusuco, C. tela, C. ceiba, C. branstetteri, C. olancho, C. muralla, C. coma, and C. gracias from Honduras, and C. waspuk, C. musun, and C. blanco from Nicaragua. At least 11 of these highly localized, microdistributed species have been taken in sympatry with C. plena. Because C. plena and C. subplena are the only members of the genus that have been collected in western and southern Guatemala, we suspect that this area represents the original range of one or both of the widespread species. However, five pairs of the microdistributed species have also been taken in sympatry with each other (and in one case together with C. plena as well)

The Neotropical spider genus Thaumasia Perty, 1833 is revised. Seven of the known species are redescribed and illustrated: Thaumasia senilis Perty, 1833 (type-species); T. abrahami Mello-Leit\ão, 1948; T. annulipes F.O. Pickard- Cambridge, 1903; T. argenteonotata (Simon, 1898); T. heterogyna Chamberlin \& Ivie, 1936; T. scoparia (Simon, 1888) and T. velox Simon, 1898. Ten new species from the neotropical region are described and illustrated: T. caxiuana sp. nov., T. onca sp. nov., T. diasi sp. nov., T. xingu sp. nov., T. acreana sp. nov., T. caracarai sp. nov., T. peruana sp. nov., T. hirsutochela sp. nov., T. lisei sp. nov. and T. oriximina sp. nov. The types of Thaumasia senilis are assumed to be lost and neotypes are designated. The males of Thaumasia heterogyna, T. annulipes, T. abrahami and the female of Thaumasia senilis are described and illustrated for the first time. Thaumasia annecta Bryant, 1948 and T. decemguttata Mello-Leit\ão, 1945 are synonyms of Thaumasia velox. Thaumasia argyrotypa Chamberlin \& Ivie, 1936 is synonymized with Thaumasia heterogyna. Thaumasia argentinensis Mello-Leit\ão, 1941 is transferred to Lycosidae and Thaumasia benoisti Caporiacco, 1954 is a junior synonym of Architis spinipes (Taczanowski, 1874). The types of Thaumasia argyrura Mello-Leit\ão, 1943, Thaumasia brunnea Caporiacco, 1947, Thaumasia strandi Caporiacco, 1947 and Thaumasia rubrosignata (Mello-Leit\ão, 1943) are juvenile specimens, and those species are considered as species inquirendae. The type of Thaumasia niceforoi Mello-Leit\ão, 1941 was not found and is this is species is considered a nomen dubium.

Scorpionism in the Americas occurs mainly in Mexico, northern South America and southeast Brazil. This article reviews the local scorpion fauna, available health statistics, and the literature to assess scorpionism in Central America. Notwithstanding its high toxicity in Mexico, most scorpion sting cases in Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica are produced by species in the genus Centruroides that are only mildly toxic to humans despite the existence of ion channel-active toxins in their venoms. Regional morbidity is low with the exception of Panama, where an incidence of 52 cases per 100,000 inhabitants was recorded for 2007, with 28 deaths from 1998 to 2006. Taxa belonging to the genus Tityus (also present in the Atlantic coast of Costa Rica) are responsible for fatalities in Panama, with Tityus pachyurus being the most important species medically. Most Tityus species inhabiting Panama are also found in northern South America from which they probably migrated upon closure of the Panamanian isthmus in the Miocene era. Incorporation of Panama as part of the northern South American endemic area of scorpionism is thereby suggested based on the incidence of these accidents and the geographical distribution of Panamanian Tityus species

Amendments are made to inconsistencies, mistakes and omissions in the catalogue of American Laniatores by Kury (2003). Discrepancies between dates given in Kury (2003) and Neave\’s Nomenclator and the Zoological Record are discussed. Accurate issue dates for relevant publications are used to define priorities. Etymologies are surveyed for generic names, establishing their grammatical gender, so specific names are inflected according to the provisions of the Code. Unavailable generic names are: Messa S\ørensen, 1932, Zarax S\ørensen, 1932, Prasia S\ørensen, 1932, Angistrisoma Roewer, 1932, Angistrisoma Mello-Leit\ão, 1935, Bunoweyhia Mello-Leit\ão, 1935, Batomites Mello-Leit\ão, 1931, Euminua S\ørensen, 1932, Minua S\ørensen, 1932, Ilhastygnus Roewer, 1943, Fonteboatus Roewer, 1931, Malea S\ørensen, 1932, Chersobleptes S\ørensen, 1932 and Jimeneziella Avram, 1970. Hernandria Banks, 1909 is unavailable and must be placed as an \“incorrect subsequent spelling\” of Hernandaria S\ørensen, 1884. The valid genus name is Parahernandria Goodnight \& Goodnight, 1947 (stat. res.). Zaraxolia Strand, 1942 (stat. res.) is revalidated from the synonymy of Neocynorta Roewer, 1915 with Zarax devians S\ørensen, 1932 as type species. Friburgoia Mello-Leit\ão, 1932 [December] is deemed a junior subjective synonym of Schenkelibunus Strand, 1932 [September] (stat. res.) (inverted precedence between synonyms). Liops Mello-Leit\ão, 1940 (non Fieber, 1870, nec Gidley, 1906) is a junior homonym and is replaced by its first available synonym, Corcovadesia Soares \& Soares, 1954 (stat. res.). The following unavailable generic names are formally described as new: (1) Jimeneziella Kury \& Alonso-Zarazaga, gen. nov. (type species: Jimeneziella decui Avram, 1973); (2) Euminua Kury \& Alonso-Zarazaga, gen. nov. (type species: Euminua brevitarsa S\ørensen, 1932). The following homonym generic names are replaced: (1) Cranellus Roewer 1932, with Narcellus Kury \& Alonso-Zarazaga, nom. nov., (2) Metapachylus Pickard-Cambridge, 1905, with Pyropharynx Kury \& Alonso-Zarazaga, nom. nov.; (3) Ovalia Gonz\ález-Sponga, 1987, with Oo Kury \& Alonso-Zarazaga, nom. nov.; (4) Tiara Gonz\ález-Sponga, 1987 with Mitraia Kury \& Alonso-Zarazaga, nom. nov.; (5) Limonia Gonz\ález-Sponga, 1998, with Manuelangelia Kury \& Alonso-Zaraza- ga, nom. nov. Gonyleptes melloleitaoi Kury \& Alonso-Zarazaga, nom. nov. is a replacement name for Gonyleptes curvicornis Mello-Leit\ão, 1932. Discocyrtus confusus Kury, 2003 is unavailable, so this species is here re-described as Discocyrtus confusus Kury n. sp. New combinations are: Parahernandria spinosa (Banks, 1909) (from Hernandaria), Schenkelibunus impar (Mello-Leit\ão, 1932) (from Friburgoia), Schenkelibunus perditus (Mello-Leit\ão, 1927) (from Friburgoia), Narcellus balthazar (Roewer, 1932) (from Cranellus), Narcellus montgomeryi (Goodnight \& Goodnight, 1947) (from Cranellus), Pyropharynx gracilis (Pickard-Cambridge, 1905) (from Metapachylus), Oo spinosum (Gonz\ález-Sponga, 1999) (from Ovalia), Mitraia unispina (Gonz\ález-Sponga, 1987) (from Tiara), Manuelangelia tuberosa (Gonz\ález-Sponga, 1998) (from Limonia), Zaraxolia devians (S\ørensen, 1932) (from Zarax), Corcovadesia hexabunus (Mello-Leit\ão, 1940) (from Liops) and Corcovadesia venefica (H. Soares, 1966) (from Liops). The following genera of Pachylinae, which appeared in conflicting subfamilies in Kury 2003, are formally transferred to the Ampycinae: Ampycella Roewer, 1929, Glysterus Roewer, 1931, Hernandarioides Pickard-Cambridge, 1905, Parahernandria Goodnight \& Goodnight, 1947 and Hutamaia Soares \& Soares, 1977. A list of taxa described in 2003 is interpolated. A complementary list of the 2004\–2009 systematic literature on the subject is given.

The presence of type I andIII urticating hairs on the holotype specimen of Mygalarachnae [sic] firmly place it inthe subfamily Theraphosinae and we argue should be restored as a valid genus,so that current placement of incertae sedis is inappropriate. The identity of Harpaxictis striatus is less certain, but here removed from synonymy with Sericopelma, and due to a lack of other diagnostic features is suggested as nomen dubium. Possible affinities of Mygalarachne with other valid genera of Theraphosinae are briefly discussed.

The spider genus Selenops Latreille, 1819 occurs in both the Old World and New World tropics and sub- tropics and contains nearly half of the species in the family Selenopidae Simon, 1897. In this paper the members of the genus Selenops found in North America, Central America, and on islands of the Caribbean are revised, excluding Cuban endemics. No taxonomic changes are currently made to the species from the southwestern United States. In total, 21 new species are described, including S. arikok sp. n., S. chamela sp. n., S. amona sp. n., S. baweka sp. n., S. bocacanadensis sp. n., S. enriquillo sp. n, S. ixchel sp. n., S. huetocatl sp. n., S. kalinago sp. n., S. oviedo sp. n., S. morro sp. n., S. denia sp. n., S. duan sp. n., S. malinalxochitl sp. n., S. oricuajo sp. n., S. petenajtoy sp. n., S. guerrero sp. n., S. makimaki sp. n., S. souliga sp. n., S. wilmotorum sp. n., and S. wilsoni sp. n. Six species names were synonymized: Selenops lunatus Muma, 1953 syn. n. = S. candidus Muma, 1953; S. tehuacanus Muma 1953 syn. n., S. galapagoensis Banks, 1902 syn. n. and S. vagabundus Kraus, 1955 syn. n. = S. mexicanus Keyserling, 1880; S. santibanezi Valdez- Mondragón, 2010 syn. n. = S. nigromaculatus Keyserling, 1880; and S. salvadoranus Chamberlin, 1925 syn. n. = S. bifurcatus Banks, 1909. Lectotypes are designated for the following three species: S. marginalis F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1900 (♂), S. morosus Banks, 1898 (♂), and S. mexicanus Keyserling, 1880 (♀). The female neotype is designated for S. aissus Walckenaer, 1837. The males of S. bani Alayón-García, 1992 and S. marcanoi Alayón-García, 1992 are described for the first time, and the females of S. phaselus Muma, 1953 and S. geraldinae Corronca, 1996 are described for the first time. Almost all species are redescribed, barring Cuban endemics and a few species recently described. New illustrations are provided, including those of the internal female copulatory organs, many of which are illustrated for the first time. A key to species is also provided as are new distributional records.

A reanalysis of the species relationships in the genus Phareicranaus Roewer, 1913, here considered the senior synonym of Acanthocranaus Roewer, 1913, Santinezia Roewer, 1923 and Comboyus Roewer, 1943, is carried out, using information unavailable in a previous analysis (of Santinezia). Subfamilies Cranainae and Prostygninae may be not monophyletic, since the generic relationships among cranaines are still obscure; it seems that Phareicranaus is closely related to Ventrivomer Roewer, 1913 and Ventrisudis Roewer, 1963, based on presence of a ventral apophysis on male coxa IV and cylindrical pedipalpal femur. The analysis performed with equal weighting generated 64 equally parsimonius trees (275 steps, ci= .24; ri= .60), and the strict consensus tree differs substantially from previous analyses. Based on results of the equally weigthed cladistic analysis, Phareicranaus is supported by the following unambiguous synapomorphies: penis base of the glans ringed; pedipalpal femur with a stout dorsoapical spine; strong ventral tubercles on pedipalpal femur and; area II invading area I (the two halves do not touch each other). Two new species are described, Phareicranaus divisor (type-locality: Brazil, Acre, Parque Nacional da Serra do Divisor) and P. patauateua (type-locality: Brazil, Pará, Ourém, Patauateua, fazenda Gavião). Male genitalia are described for the following cranaids: Chiriboga albituber Roewer, 1959; Metacranaus tricalcaris Roewer, 1913; Phareicranaus calcariger (Roewer, 1913), comb. n.; P. albimedialis (Goodnight \& Goodnight, 1943); P. festae Roewer, 1925; P. parallelus Roewer, 1925; P. angelicus (Roewer, 1963) comb. n.; and P. ortizi (Roewer, 1952) and Ventrisudis mira Roewer, 1963. The following new combinations are proposed: from Acanthocranaus, Phareicranaus calcariger (Roewer, 1913); from Santinezia, Phareicranaus albilineatus (Roewer, 1932); P. angelicus (Roewer, 1963); P. arthrocentricus (Mello-Leitão, 1943), P. biordi (González-Sponga, 1991); P. calcarfemoralis (Roewer, 1917); P. calcaritibialis (Roewer, 1915); P. capayitaensis (González-Sponga, 2003); P. contrerasi (González-Sponga, 2003); P. circumlineatus (González-Sponga, 1989); P. curvipes (Roewer, 1916); P. duranti (González-Sponga, 1989); P. fronteriza (González-Sponga, 2003); P. furva (Pinto-da-Rocha \& Kury, 2003); P. giganteus (Roewer, 1913); P. glaber (González-Sponga, 2003); P. gracilis (Pinto-da-Rocha \& Kury, 2003); P. guaricoensis (González-Sponga, 2003); P. heliae (Avram, 1983); P. hermosa (Pinto-da-Rocha \& Kury, 2003); P. lamitisus (González-Sponga, 2003); P. leonensis (González-Sponga, 2003); P. lucifer (Pinto-da-Rocha \& Kury, 2003); P. manauara (Pinto-da-Rocha, 1994); P. noctiscansor (Townsend \& Milne 2010); P. onorei (Pinto-da-Rocha \& Kury, 2003); P. ortizi (Roewer, 1952); P. parvus (González-Sponga, 2003); P. sanarensis (González-Sponga, 2003); P. simonbolivari (Avram, 1987); P. singularis (H. Soares, 1970); P. soledadensis (González-Sponga, 2003); P. spinulatus (Goodnight \& Goodnight, 1943); and P. subparamera (González- Sponga, 2003). Santinezia sanarensis humocaroensis González-Sponga, 2003, transferred to Phareicranaus, is elevated to species level, proposing the new combination and new status: Phareicranaus humocaroensis (González-Sponga, 2003). Three new names are proposed: Phareicranaus roeweri to replace Nieblia festae Roewer, 1925, preoccupied by Phareicranaus festae Roewer, 1925; Phareicranaus goodnightorum to replace Santinezia magna Goodnight \& Goodnight 1942, preoccupied by Phareicranaus magnus (Roewer, 1932); and Phareicranaus kuryi to replace Comboyus albilineatus Roewer, 1943, preoccupied by Santinezia albilineata Roewer, 1932, which is presently a junior synonym of Inezia curvipes Roewer, 1916 (now Phareicranaus curvipes). Phareicranaus cingulatus Roewer, 1932 and Santinezia serratotibialis Roewer, 1932 are newly synonymized with Goniosoma calcariferum Simon, 1879 (the type species of Phareicranaus). Additionally, Phareicranaus giganteus Roewer, 1932 is newly synonymized with Holocranaus longipes Roewer 1913, and the monotypic genus Meridia Roewer 1913 (type species M. palpalis Roewer 1913) is transferred from Manaosbiidae to Cranaidae, Cranainae.

In Central America, the family Manaosbiidae is recorded only from Panama and Costa Rica. Four species occur in this region: Barrona williamsi Goodnight \& Goodnight 1942, Bugabitia triacantha Roewer 1915, Poassa limbata Roewer 1943, and Zygopachylus albomarginis Chamberlin 1925. In this paper, we describe Barrona felgenhaueri new species (Cocl\é Province, Panama) and Bugabitia akini new species (Cocl\é Province, Panama) and report a new record for B. williamsi (Cocl\é Province, Panama). We used SEM to examine the penis morphology of Barrona Goodnight \& Goodnight 1942 and the Caribbean species Cranellus montgomeryi Goodnight \& Goodnight 1947 and Rhopalocranaus albilineatus Roewer 1932. We compared genital morphology of these species with published descriptions for Manaosbiidae from South America. With respect to genital morphology, we found that the most variable characters were the number and relative sizes of the setae that occur on the lateral margins of the ventral plate. Other features that exhibited interspecific variation included the shape of the ventral plate, the shape of the distal border of the ventral plate, and the shape and armature of the apex of the stylus.

To facilitate identification of harvestmen of the family Cosmetidae in Central America, we developed dichotomous keys that distinguish the 33 known genera and the 133 described species for this region. Couplets are based upon characters found in the literature and examinations of museum specimens. Important characters include the number of tarsomeres on leg I, armature of the dorsal scutum, free tergites and legs, as well as the coloration and relative length of the body and legs. In addition, we provide a summary of sexually dimorphic features and comment on the potential usefulness of penis morphology and coloration as characters for distinguishing taxa.

The male of Dossenus guapore silva, lise \& carico, 2007 is described and illustrated for the first time, based on material from Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The spider genus Dossenus simon, 1898 is distributed from Panama to southern Brazil and can be distinguished by the other known genera of Trechaleidae by the median dark brown band on the carapace that extends to the abdomen and by the spoon-like shape of the median apophysis of the male palpus. A new species of Dyrines simon, 1903, D. brescoviti sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on material collected in Sergipe and Paran\á, brazil. The representatives of this spider genus are relatively small and can be distinguished from the other genera by the longitudinal dark brown bands on the legs. new records of Dyrines striatipes (Simon, 1898) are presented.

This study presents a general cladistic analysis of pisaurid genera, with emphasis on the Neotropical genera Architis Simon and Staberius Simon. The analysis was based on a matrix with 21 terminal taxa: eight species of Architis, Staberius spinipes (Taczanowski), seven exemplars of other pisaurid genera and five outgroup taxa. These terminals were scored for 59 morphological and three behavioural characters. An analysis with all characters equally weighted resulted in two most parsimonious trees, differing only in the position of Architis colombo Santos. In both trees Pisauridae arouse as a monophyletic group, and the exemplars of Architis composed a clade with S. spinipes. Contrary to hypotheses from the literature, Thalassius Simon emerged as sister-group of all remaining pisaurids, not as a close relative of Dolomedes Latreille. The genera Tinus F.O.P. -Cambridge and Thaumasia Perty appeared in the trees as the closest relatives of Architis and Staberius Simon. The analysis strongly supported S. spinipes as the sister-group of A. helveola (Simon), indicating that Architis as currently delimited is paraphyletic. Based on these results, Staberius is considered a subjective junior synonym of Architis. Additionally, the genus Mimicosa Petrunkevitch, originally described in Tetragnathidae, is transferred to Pisauridae and considered a junior synonym of Architis. Two species are proposed as junior synonyms of A. spinipes comb.n. Mimicosa spinosa Petrunkevitch and Staberius lemoulti Caporiacco.

The systematic status of the wolf spider genus Sosippus Simon 1888 is reviewed. Males of four species: S. placidus Brady 1972, S. janus Brady 1972, S. michoacanus Brady 1962 and S. agalenoides Banks 1909 are described and fully illustrated for the first time. A cladistic analysis based upon twelve morphological characters resulted in two distinct species-groups within Sosippus. One species-group of the genus occurs from Georgia and Florida in the southeastern United States, westward along the Gulf Coast to south Texas. A second species-group occurs in Arizona and California, and is found in Mexico and Central America as far south as Costa Rica. A new key to the ten species of Sosippus now recognized is presented and updated to include male characters and other features. Collections and observations since earlier studies have provided new information about the social behavior and more widespread distribution of Sosippus janus.

This paper offers the first cladistic analysis of a wide selection of theridiid genera based on morphological data. The analysis treats 53 theridiid taxa representing 32 genera (Achaearanea, Anelosimus, Ameridion, Argyrodes, Ariamnes, Carniella, Cerocida, Chrysso, Coleosoma, Dipoena, Emertonella, Enoplognatha, Episinus, Euryopis, Faiditus, Kochiura, Latrodectus, Neospintharus, Nesticodes, Pholcomma, Phoroncidia, Rhomphaea, Robertus, Selkirkiella, Spintharus, Steatoda, Stemmops, Theridion, Theridula, Thymoites, Thwaitesia, Tidarren) and eight outgroup taxa representing the families Nesticidae (Eidmanella and Nesticus), Synotaxidae (Synotaxus, two species), Pimoidae (Pimoa), Linyphiidae (Linyphia), Tetragnathidae (Tetragnatha) and Araneidae (Argiope). The parsimony analysis of 242 morphological and behavioural characters found a single, most parsimonious tree. The monophyly of theridiids and their sister relationship with nesticids is strongly supported. The recent resurrection of Ariamnes and Rhom- phaea from Argyrodes made the latter paraphyletic. However, Ariamnes and Rhomphaea are characterized by an array of characters, and Argyrodes still contains dramatically distinct clades for which names are available: Faiditus (removed from synonymy - RS) and Neospintharus (RS). These revalidations provide a classification with greater information content and utility. These three genera, along with Ariamnes, Rhomphaea and Spheropistha, comprise the subfamily Argyrodinae. The monophyly and composition of the subfamilies Hadrotarsinae, Spintharinae, Phol- commatinae, Latrodectinae and Theridiinae are discussed. Theridion is paraphyletic and in need of revision. Anelo- simus as currently circumscribed is paraphyletic, a problem resolved by revalidating Selkirkiella (RS) and Kochiura (RS). Numerous new combinations are established. The results suggest the monophyletic origin of both kleptopar- asitism and araneophagy in the lineage leading to Argyrodinae, negating hypotheses that either arose from the other. Sociality evolved multiple times within the family, accounting for as much as one fourth of the origins of social behaviour among all spiders. No losses of sociality are implied. The hypothesis of maternal care as the pathway to sociality receives support. Evolution of theridiid webs is complex, with multiple modifications and loss of the basic theridiid cobweb.

Hersiliidae Thorell is a family of conspicuously long-legged spiders, characterized by extremely elongate posterior lateral spinnerets. To date, it includes 148 species distributed within seven genera, of which Tama Simon is the only one recorded in the Neotropical Region. Of the 23 known Tama species, 18 are exclusively Neotropical. In order to enhance the scientific knowledge on the family and its members this study presents a cladistic analysis and a taxonomic revision of the Neotropical and Nearctic hersilids. The cladistic analysis places the Neotropical and Neartic species in two separate clades, none of which are closely related to the genus Tama. Based on this result, Tama mexicana (O.P.-Cambridge) and T. forcipata (F.O.P.-Cambridge) are transferred to Neotama and three new genera are proposed to include the remaining species: Ypypuera n. gen. to include T. crucifera Vellard and T. vittata (Simon); Iviraiva n. gen. to include T. pachyura Mello-Leit\ão and T. argentina Mello-Leit\ão; and Yabisi n. gen to include T. habanensis Franganillo. Based on the taxonomic revision, eight synonymies are proposed: Tama crulsi Mello-Leit\ão, Tama micrura Mello-Leit\ão and T. occidentalis Schenkel with Ypypuera crucifera (Vellard); T. brasiliensis Piza and T. karinae Carcavallo with I. pachyura (Mello-Leit\ão); T. catamarcaensis Carcavallo and T. longipes Carcavallo with I. argentina (Mello-Leit\ão); and T. guianensis Mello-Leit\ão with Neotama mexicana (O.P.-Cambridge); three names are placed as nomina dubia: Tama americana (Simon), T. albigastra Mello-Leit\ão and T. sasaimae Mello-Leit\ão and four new species are described: Neotama cunhabebe, from S\ão Paulo, Brazil, Neotama obatala, from Bahia, Brazil, Ypypuera esquisita, from Quevedo, Ecuador, and Yabisi guaba, from Pedernales, Dominican Republic.

The data matrix comprised a total of 98 species representing 16 families scored for 146 characters, with all but six taken from various morphological systems; the remaining are behavioral attributes. Ctenidae is shown to be polyphyletic as currently delimited, but the most severely ques- tioned taxa (i.e., Acanthoctenus, Cupiennius, and Ancylometes) are indeed members of this family. The so-called ctenid eye pattern is shown to be a synapomorphy uniting a more restricted set of taxa.

The spider genus Peucetia includes 54 species of medium-sized and widely distributed spiders. The majority of its species occurs in the tropical regions, of which only the African fauna has been recently revised. In the Neotropical Region 26 species were described, of which 17 are here synonymyzed. Peucetia tranquillini Mello-Leit\ão 1922, P. rubrigastra Mello-Leit\ão 1929, P. meridionalis Mello-Leit\ão 1929, P. villosa Mello-Leit\ão 1929, and P. viridisternis Mello-Leit\ão 1945 are considered junior synonyms of P. flava Keyserling 1877. Eight names, Peucetia similis Keyserling 1877, P. amazonica Mello-Leit\ão 1929, P. heterochroma Mello-Leit\ão 1929, P. maculipedes Piza 1938, P. trivittata Mello-Leit\ão 1940, P. duplovittata Mello-Leit\ão 1941, and P. roseonigra Mello-Leit\ão 1943 and Tapinillus argentinus Mello-Leit\ão 1941 are considered junior synonyms of P. rubrolineata Keyserling 1877. Both senior species are extremelly common, occurring from Colombia to northern Argentina. Peucetia macroglossa Mello-Leit\ão 1929, recorded only from Central Brazilian Amazonia and Guyana is considered a senior synonym of P. melloleitaoi Caporiacco 1947. Two species occur from Southern USA to northern Colombia: Peucetia viridans (Hentz 1832) and P. longipalpis F. O. P.-Cambridge 1902. The former is recognized as a senior synonym of P. poeyi (Lucas 1857), P. bibranchiata F. O. P.- 1902 and P. rubricapilla Petrunkevitch 1925 and the later as a senior synonym of P. cauca Louren\ço 1990. Peucetia viridis (Blackwall 1858), known from Africa, southern Spain and Middle East is newly recorded from the West Indies. One new species, Peucetia cayapa sp. n., is described and illustrated based on males and females from Ecuador and Peru. Peucetia caldensis Garcia-Neto 1989, from Brazil, is transferred to Tapinillus Simon 1898. The type specimens of three species, P. quadrilineata Simon 1891 and P. thalassina (C. L. Koch 1847) from Central America, and P. smaragdina Mello-Leit\ão 1941 from Colombia are probably lost. Since their original descriptions are not sufficiently clear for their recognition, they are considered nomina dubia.

A cladistic phylogenetic analysis at generic level of the subfamily Amaurobioidinae is presented. The analysis is based on a dataset of 93 representative species scored for one behavioral and 199 morphological characters. Tree searches were made under equal and implied weights according to homoplasy, and the results were compared in terms of sensitivity to jackknife resampling. Mildest weighting functions produced trees more robust to resampling, and those results were selected as the working phylogenetic hypotheses. Groups of weak support as identified by jackknifing and Bremer indices are in general those that vary in resolution with different character-weighting schemes.
Seven outgroup representatives were included (Malenella nana Raḿ{\i}rez, from Malenellinae, and six Anyphaeninae species). In this analysis Anyphaeninae, previously identified as sister group of Amaurobioidinae, is paraphyletic, but forcing its monophyly does not alter the groupings within Amaurobioidinae. The monophyly of the genera is in general well supported, but some particularly conflicting groups are discussed. In contrast, the relationships among genera are in general problematic.
Amaurobioidinae is diagnosed by a pronounced indentation at the base of male palpal tegulum, and by a particular male copulatory bulb conformation, with a paramedian apophysis. The subfamily is classified in two tribes (Gayennini and Amaurobioidini); the genus Josa Keyserling, probably sister group to Gayennini, is not assigned to either tribe.
The tribe Amaurobioidini is mainly diagnosed by an apical loop of the sperm duct in the male copulatory bulb. It includes 10 genera: Amaurobioides O.P.-Cambridge is restricted to seashores of southern continents. Clubiona chilensis Nicolet, transferred to Amaurobioides, is the first true record of the genus for South America. The male of Axyracrus elegans Simon, three species of Aysenia Tullgren, and three of Coptoprepes Simon are newly described. Four new genera are proposed in Amaurobioidini: Gamakia, Selknamia (described for one new species each), Aysenoides (for three new species), and Negayan (type species Gayenna tri- dentata Simon, including also Axyracrus coccineus Mello-Leita ̃o, Clubiona paduana Karsch, Gayenna excepta Tullgren, Gayenna exigua Mello-Leitão, and Tomopisthes lebruni Simon). The previously revised genera Acanthoceto Mello-Leitao and Ferrieria Tullgren are also in- cluded in the tribe. The basal branch and most intergeneric branches of the tribe have low support values. Amaurobioides and Negayan, however, are relatively well supported.
The tribe Gayennini is well defined by a homogeneous conformation of male and female genitalia, with a distinctive secondary conductor and spherical spermathecae. It includes 11 genera: Gayenna Nicolet includes only G. americana Nicolet from Chile and adjacent Argen- tina. Arachosia O.P.-Cambridge comprises many species previously assigned to Oxysoma. Abuzaida striata Keyserling, Anyphaena oblonga Keyserling, Gayenna proseni Mello-Leita ̃o, Gayenna duplovittata Mello-Leita ̃o, Gayenna bonneti Mello-Leita ̃o, Oxysoma dubium Berland, Oxysoma bifasciatum Mello-Leita ̃o, Oxysoma cubana Banks, Oxysoma polytrichium Mello- Leita ̃o, Phidyle bergi Simon, and Samuza praesignis Keyserling are transferred to Arachosia. The males of Arachosia bergi (Simon), A. honesta Keyserling, and Arachosia praesignis (Key- serling) are newly described. Arachosia is easily recognized by the thick setae on the anterior lateral spinnerets, and it has good support values. A very diverse group of species here as- signed to the genus Sanogasta Mello-Leita ̃o is paraphyletic in terms of Arachosia. It includes many of the species formerly placed in Gayenna Nicolet. Anyphaena maculatipes Keyserling, Clubiona maculosa Nicolet, Gayenna paucilineata Mello-Leitão, Gayenna alticola Simon, Gayenna bonariensis Mello-Leitao, Gayenna rufithorax Tullgren, Gayenna x-signata Keyser- ling, Gayenna approximata Tullgren, Samuza minuta Keyserling, and Tomopisthes backhauseni Simon are transferred to Sanogasta. The female of Sanogasta alticola (Simon), the males of S. x-signata (Keyserling) and S. approximata (Tullgren), and four species are newly described. The males of Monapia carolina Ram ́{\i}rez and Monapia angusta (Mello-Leita ̃o) are newly described. A new species of Oxysoma Nicolet from southern Brazil is described, and Gayenna saccata Tullgren is transferred to Oxysoma. Phidyle Simon is removed from the synonymy of Oxysoma Nicolet; the male of its only species Phidyle punctipes (Nicolet) is newly described. The genus Philisca Simon is redefined to include Liparotoma Simon. Clubiona tripunctata Nicolet and Clubiona gayi Nicolet are also transferred to Philisca. The male of Philisca hahni Simon and two species are newly described. The genus is reasonably supported, except for one basal species of questionable placement. Anyphaena punctata Keyserling, Gayenna fuscotaeniata Keyserling, Gayenna tripunctata Mello-Leitao, Gayenna reticulata Mello-Leitão, Gayenna taperae Mello-Leitao, Oxysoma quinquenotatum Simon, Oxysoma unipunctatum Simon, Oxysoma novum Mello-Leitao, Oxysoma lineatum Tullgren, and Tomopisthes frenatus Mello-Leitao are transferred to Tasata. The males of Tasata parcepunctata Simon, T. variolosa Mello-Leitao, and three species are newly described. Tasata albofasciata Mello-Leitão is transferred to Tupirinna Bonaldo, in the Corinnidae. Tomopisthes Simon includes only three species from Chile and adjacent Argentina. Clubiona horrenda Nicolet and Clubiona pusilla Nicolet are transferred to Tomopisthes. The male of Tomopisthes pusillus (Nicolet) is newly described. Two new genera are proposed in Gayennini: Araiya (Gayenna pallida Tullgren, type species and Gayenna coccinea Simon) and Gayennoides (for two new Chilean species).

The genus Josa Keyserling, distinguished by a femoral apophysis on the male palp, is extremely diverse in Andean cloud forests and tropical America. It is one of the better supported groups of the analysis. Anyphaena keyserlingi L. Koch, Gayenna andesiana Berland, Gayenna simoni Berland, Gayennella riveti Berland, Haptisus nigrifrons Simon, Haptisus analis Simon, Haptisus maurus Simon, Olbophthalmus lojensis Berland, Olbus personatus Simon, Olbus gounellei Simon, Tetromma luteum Keyserling, and Tomopisthes chazaliae Simon are transferred to Josa.

Centruroides schmidti Sissom, 1995 is the new identification designate of the scorpions previously known as C. thorelli (Kraepelin, 1891) in Northwest Costa Rica. The geographical distribution of the species in this country is established on the basis of new collected material. Its distribution includes the Pacific slope of the Guanacaste volcanic range, and the Pacific and Atlantic slopes of the Tilar\án volcanic range between 50 and 775 m elevation above sea level, within the Costa Rican Guanacaste and Alajuela provinces.

Four species of buthid scorpions (Ananteris platnicki Lourenço, 1993; Centruroides limbatus [Pocock, 1898]; Tityus pachyurus [Pocock, 1897]; and T. ocelote Francke and Stockwell, 1987) are recorded for the first time from some islands and cays of the Bocas del Toro Archipelago, Panama. Morphological variation and ecological data are given for all the species. This is the first Panamanian record for both C. limbatus and T. ocelote. The scorpion fauna of the Bocas de Toro Archipelago is related with the recent fauna of the Atlantic continental lowland region of Costa Rica and Panama and includes Amazonian-Guyanese (genera Ananteris and Tityus) as well as Mexican-North Central American (genus Centruroides) elements.

Abstract: While the unique sensory system and neuroanatomy of amblypygids suggest that olfaction is important in their lives, to date no behavioral data exist to support this suggestion. To gain insight into amblypygid ecology and behavior, an individual mark\–recapture study was conducted on the Costa Rican amblypygid Phrynus parvulus. Within two 50 by 25 m plots, the distribution and movement patterns of individual amblypygids were recorded for over 2 months. A total of 88 adult individuals (60 males and 28 females) were marked, with an average 51\% resighted. Females were resighted more frequently than males (75\% females, 40\% males). The sexes did not differ in their fre- quency or movement distance, but females were more likely to be seen on the same tree over time. While both sexes potentially wander in search of mates, females may also be searching for a good crevice, or diurnal hideout. Once a fe- male has mated and laid eggs, she likely remains stationary. Movement patterns and tree choice seem to be dictated by both the presence of conspecifics and environmental factors such as tree surface area, moss cover, and the presence of buttressing. Cumulative observational data collected over 3 years suggest that the main breeding season for this species is October\–January. Both mate attraction and navigation may be facilitated by the olfactory capabilities of amblypygids, while their giant interneurons may be involved in their foraging behavior. R\ésum\é : Bien que le syst\ème sensoriel et la neuroanatomie tr\ès particuliers des amblypyges laissent croire que l\’olfaction joue un r\ôle important dans leur vie, il n\’existe pas \à ce jour de donn\ées comportementales qui appuient cette hypoth\èse. Une \étude de marquage et de recapture de l\’amblypyge, Phrynus parvulus, du Costa Rica nous \à permis d\’en conna{\^{\i}tre plus sur l\’\écologie et le comportement des amblypyges. La r\épartition et les mouvements d\’individus ont pu \être not\és pendant plus de 2 mois dans deux enceintes de 50 par 25 m. En tout, 88 adultes ont \ét\é marqu\és (60 m\âles et 28 femelles) et en moyenne 51 \% d\’entre eux ont \ét\é revus, les femelles (75 \%) plus fr\équemment que les m\âles (40 \%). Il n\’y a pas de diff\érence sexuelle dans la fr\équence ou la distance des d\éplacements, mais, dans le temps, les femelles tendent \à \être plus susceptibles d\’\être revues sur le m\ême arbre. Alors que les individus des deux sexes sont probablement \à la recherche de partenaires, les femelles cherchent peut-\être aussi une bonne crevasse ou un refuge pour la journ\ée. Une fois qu\’une femelle s\’est accoupl\ée et qu\’elle a pondu, elle reste probablement stationnaire. Les patterns de d\éplacement et le choix d\’arbres semblent \être dict\és par la pr\ésence d\’autres individus de la m\ême esp\èce, mais aussi par des facteurs de l\’environnement, tels que l\’importance de la surface de l\’arbre, la couverture de mousses et la pr\ésence de contreorts. Nos donn\ées, accumul\ées pendant 3 ann\ées, indiquent que la p\ériode principale de reproduction pour cette esp\èce se situe d\’octobre \à janvier. Tant l\’attraction des partenaires que la navigation peuvent \être facilit\ées par les capacit\és olfactives des amblypyges, alors que leurs interneurones g\éants jouent sans doute un r\ôle dans les comportements de qu\ête de nourriture.

The spider genus Ancylometes Bertkau, 1880 is revised. A. vulpes Bertkau, 1880, type species of the genus, is considered a junior subjective synonym of Dolomedes concolor Perty, 1833. Both types are lost and we redescribe the species based on specimens similar to those found at the type locality of A. vulpes. Spiders of the genus are large nocturnal ground-living hunting spiders with a strong affinity in most species, to water bodies within their tropical environment. Those species hunt also on small vertebrates like frogs, tadpoles and fishes. All species show slight sexual dimorphism in colour and body-to-leg-size relations. Females carry brown egg-sacs in chelicerae and build a nursery web. The genus is morphologically diagnosed by the presence of ventral spines on tarsi III and IV in both sexes and by their genital characters: filiform embolus with a basal membranous lobe, wing-like conductor and hammer-like median apophysis in males; female epigyne consisting of two broad lateral plates and a central plate in form of a bike saddle with its nose pointing posteriorly. Ten valid species are recognized and described, five of them are new: Ancylometes japura, A. jau, A. riparius from Amazonas, A. terrenus from Acre, Amazonas and Mato Grosso and A. pantanal from Matto Grosso do Sul, all from Brazil. The female of A. amazonicus is described for the first time and the female of A. hewitsoni for the first time based on an adult specimen.

Fifty-one neotropical and Mexican species of Cyclosa were identified, of which 38 are new. Twelve names have been newly synonymized. The neotropical Cyclosa species all have genitalia similar to those of North American C. caroli, C. turbinata\ and C. walckenaeri. In all females, the epigynum is lightly sclerotized, with openings and sculpturing difficult to see. In most males, the diagnostic palpal features are hidden: the conductor tooth is behind a flap, and the median apophysis is partly hidden below the large conductor of the palpus. A new genus, Allocyclosa, has been established for C. bifurca. Synapomorphies place Cyclosa close to Metazygia, but Allocyclosa is similar to Cyrtophora in body shape. It differs from Cyrtophora in structure of genitalia and in making a Cyclosa-like web.

Centruroides, with 10 species, is the most diverse and widespread genus in this territory, whereas all the seven Diplocentrus species are restricted to the area. Didymocentrus, with two species, is the only scorpion genus that apparently has a Central American center of dispersion.

Recent studies on the pholcid fauna of Central America have elevated the number of known Costa Rican species from 11 to 28 in only two years. The present paper summarizes the scattered literature and adds two new species as well as three undescribed species, bringing the total number to 33 species representing seven genera. An illustrated key is presented. An annotated list summarizes the information available about taxonomy, morphology and natural history of all known Costa Rican pholcids. The two new species are Anopsicus tico n.sp. from the Central Valley, and Physocyclus guanacaste n.sp. from the Santa Rosa National Park, Guanacaste. The male of Metagonia hondura Huber, 1997 is described and illustrated for the first time. Old pholcid records from Costa Rica are discussed, and types of unsufficiently well described species are redescribed, including all previously known Costa Rican Anopsicus species (A. chiriqui Gertsch, 1982; A. concinnus Gertsch, 1982; A. facetus Gertsch, 1982; A. turrialba Gertsch, 1982) as well as Metagonia osa Gertsch, 1986 and M. selva Gertsch, 1986. New localities are given for twelve species; of these, four are new for Costa Rica: Anopsicus chiriqui Gertsch, 1982; \‘Coryssocnemis\’ viridescens Kraus, 1955; Physocyclus globosus (Taczanowski, 1873); and Smeringopus pallidus (Blackwall, 1858). The genera Coryssocnemis Simon, 1893 and Smeringopus Simon, 1890 are new for Costa Rica. It is argued that carefully directed collecting in certain areas and habitats will probably lead to a further considerable increase in known species.

We present the first cladistic analysis focused at the tribal and subfamily level of the orb-weaving spider family Araneidae. The data matrix of 82 characters scored for 57 arancid genera of 6 subfamilies and 19 tribes (and 13 genera from 8 outgroup families) resulted in 16 slightly different, most parsimonious trees. Successive weighting corroborated 62 of the 66 informative nodes on these cladograms; one is recommended as the \‘working\’ araneid phylogcny. The sister group of Araneidae is all other Araneoidea. Araneidae comprises two major clades: the subfamily Araneinae, and the \‘argiopoid\’ clade, which includes all other subfamilies and most tribes (((Gasteracanthinae, Caerostreae), (((Micratheninae, Xylcthreae), Eruyosaccus), (Eurycorminae, Arciinae)), Cyrlarachninae), ((Argiopinae, Cyrtophorinae), Arachnureae)). Cyrtarachneae and Mastophoreae are united in a new subfamily, Cyr-tarachninae. The spiny orb-weavers alone (Gasteracanthinae and Micratheninae) are not monophyletic. The mimetid subfamily Arciinae and the \‘tetragnathid\’ genus Zygiella are araneids, but .Nephila (and other tetragnathids) are not. On the preferred tree, web decorations (stabilimenta) evolved 9 times within 15 genera, and were lost once. The use of silk to subdue prey evolved once in cribellate and four times in ecribillate orb weavers. Sexual size dimorphism evolved once in nephilines, twice in araneids, and reverted to monomorphism five times. Evolution in other genitalic and somatic characters is also assessed; behavioral and spinneret features arc most consistent (male genitalia, leg and prosomal features least consistent) on the phylogeny.

O. Pickard- Cambridge. The close relatives of the Dendryphan- tinae may include the Europhryinae and several smaller groups, for they share an embolus that is coiled counterclockwise (left palp) and separated from the tegulum by a fully expandable hematodocha. The subfamily Dendryphantinae itself is delimited by the derived conditions of a carina on the underside of the male chelicera, the coil of the embolus folded back so as to be hidden behind the base of the embolus, and S-shaped epigynal openings. Within the subfamily, generic relationships are poorly understood, but it is clear that the genus Metaphidippus is polyphyletic. The genus should include at most a few species closely related to the neotropical genera Messua G. \& E. Peckham, Bagheera G. \& E. Peckham, and Gastromicans Mello- Leitao. Gastromicans is removed from synonymy with Beata G. \& E. Peckham. The following new com- binations are established for species in this group: Bagheera prosper (G. \& E. Peckham), Messua centralis (G. \& E. Peckham), Messua dentiger (F. P.- Cambridge), Messua donalda (Kraus), Messua lata (Chickering), Messua laxa (Chickering), Messua limbata (Banks), Messua moma (F. P. -Cambridge), Mes- sua octonotata (F. P. -Cambridge), Messua pura (Bryant), Messua tridentata (F. P.-Cambridge), Gas- tromicans albopilosa (G. \& E. Peckham), Gastromicans hondurensis (G. \& E. Peckham), Gastromicans levispina (F. P.-Cambridge), Gastromicans noxiosa (Simon), and Gastromicans vigens (G. \& E. Peckham). The combination Messua desidiosa G. \& E. Peckham is revived. The proper placement of various groups currently assigned to Metaphidippus is discussed, and the harfordii group is transferred to the genus Phanias F. P. -Cambridge, which appears to be relatively distantly related to most other dendryphantines. The following new combinations are established: Phanias albeolus (Chamberlin \& Ivie), Phanias concoloratus (Chamberlin \& Gertsch), Phanias dominatus (Chamberlin \& Ivie), Phanias furcifer (Gertsch), Phanias furcillatus (F. P. -Cambridge), Phanias harfordii (G. \& E. Peckham), Phanias monticola (Banks), Phanias neomexicanus (Banks), and Phanias watonus (Chamberlin \& Ivie). Also removed from Metaphidippus are the mylothrus and castaneus groups, for which the new genera Terralonus and Ghelna are described, thus yielding the new combinations Terralonus californicus (G. \& E. Peckham), Terralonus mylothrus (Chamberlin), Terralonus unicus (Chamberlin \& Gertsch), Terralonus shaferi (Gertsch \& Riechert), Terralonus versicolor (G. \& E. Peckham), Terralonus vittatus (Banks), Terralonus fraternus (Banks), Ghelna castanea (Hentz), Ghelna barrotvsi (Kaston), Ghelna sexmaculata (Banks), and Ghelna canadensis (Banks). The new combination Sassacus paiutus (Gertsch) is established. The vitis group is retained in Metaphidippus. The limits of the genera Dendryphantes C. L. Koch and Beata G. \& E. Peckham are also reconsidered. The combination Dendryphantes nigromaculatus Keyserling is revived and the following combinations established: Beata hispida (G. \& E. Peckham), Beata inconcinna (G. \& E. Peckham), Beata maccunii (G. \& E. Peckham), and Beata rustica (G. \& E. Peckham). Dryphias (G. \& E. Peckham) is synonymized with Beata. The largest group removed from Metaphidippus is placed in the genus Pelegrina Franganillo, 1930, whose species are, with some exceptions, distin- guished from other dendryphantines by the presence of two terminal rami retrolateral to the embolus open- ing, an embolic hematodocha that bulges distally, wrinkles on the anterior margin of the male cheliceral fang, a distinct band of pale scales on the side of the face, and male courtship with the first legs held low and forward. The following species are moved into Pelegrina: P. aeneola (Curtis), P. arizonensis (G. \& E. Peckham), P. bicuspidata (F. P.-Cambridge), P. clemata (Levi \& Levi), P. exigua (Banks), P.flaviceps (Kaston), P.flavipedes (G. \& E. Peckham), P.furcata (F. P. -Cambridge), P. galathea (Walckenaer), P. he- lenae (Banks), P. insignis (Banks), P. montana (Emerton), P. ochracea (F. P.-Cambridge), P. pallidata (F. P.-Cambridge), P. peckhamorum (Kaston), P. pervaga (G. \& E. Peckham), P. proterva (Walckenaer), P. proxima (G. \& E. Peckham), P. tillandsiae (Kaston), P. variegata (F. P.-Cambridge), and P. verecunda (Chamberlin \& Gertsch). Pelegrina proxima is shown to be a senior synonym of Pelegrina geniculata Franganillo, the latter being the types spe- cies of Pelegrina. A neotype is designated for Attus galathea Walckenaer. Seventeen species are described as new: P. balia, P. bunites, P. chaimona, P. chalceola, P. clavator, P. dithalea, P. edrilana, P.luiaclnica, P. kastoni, P. morelos, P. neoleonis, P. orestes, P. sabinctua, P. sandaracina, P. tristis, P. volcano, and P. ijucaiecana. Eitophnjs leucophaea C. L. Koch, Icitis crassiventer Keyserling, and Metaphiidippiis digitatus F. P. -Cambridge are newly synonymized with P. galathea; Dendrijphantes uteaniis Chamberlin \& Gertsch with P. aeneola; and Dendryphantes mimiis Chamberlin with P. furcata. Euophrys concolor Banks is removed from synonymy with P. proterva and considered a senior synonym of Sittacus cursor Barrows, yielding the new combination Sittictis concolor. Identification keys are presented for all Pelegrina males and for females from restricted geographical regions. All species are de- scribed and illustrated. Male/female associations were achieved for all species north of Mexico. Courtship behavior is described for 22 species of Pelegrina, karyotypes for 10 species, and habitat information for most species. The genus Pelegrina may be closely related to the Metaphidippus mannii group, Nagaina and/or Eris. Nagaina incunda G. \& E. Peckham is described and illustrated; Dendryphantes vegetns G. \& E. Peckham, Metaphidippus flavoUneatus F. P. -Cambridge, and Metaphidippus expallidatus F. P.-Cambridge are synonymized with N. incunda. The species of the mannii group (temporarily retained in Metaphidippus) that occur in the United States are also described and illustrated; two new combinations, Metaphidippus chera (Chamberlin) and Metaphidippus carnienensis (Chamberlin), are established; one species, Metaphidippus emmiltus, is described as new; Dendryphantes versicolor G. \& E. Peckham is synonymized with Metaphidippus mannii (G. \& E. Peckham), and Metaphidippus franciscanus Schenkel with Metaphidippus dtplacis (Chamberlin).}, url = {http://peckhamia.com/hosted/Maddison\%201996\%20Pelegrina\%20Franganillo\%20and\%20other\%20jumping\%20spiders.pdf}, author = {Maddison, Wayne P} } @article {115, title = {Presencia de Centruroides schmidti.

Sympatry is best documented for C. getazi and C. coccineus and is likely to occur in other species. (2) All known species of Cupiennius are closely associated with particular plants on which they hide during the day and prey, court, and moult at night. The most typical dwelling plant such as a bromeliad or a banana plant is a monocotyledon with mechanically strong and unbranched leaves that provide retreats at their bases. On plants not providing "ready-made" shelters, such as ginger or members of the Araceae, several species of Cupiennius have been observed to build retreats. (3) Average monthly rainfall and temperature data are given for six locations where we have recently observed C. coccineus, C. getazi, C. panamensis, and C. salei.

These plants are the channels through which the spiders receive and emit various types of vibrations. We measured the vibrations the spiders are typically exposed to when they sit on their dwelling plants (banana plant, bromeliad) in their natural biotope in Central America. In addition a laboratory analysis was carried out to get an approximate idea of the complex vibration-propagating properties of the dwelling plants, taking a banana plant as an example. (1) Types of vibrations (Figs. 1 4). Despite variability in detail there are characteristic differences in spectral composition between the vibrations of various abiotic and biotic origins: (a) Vibrations due to wind are very low frequency phenomena. Their frequency spectra are conspicuously narrow with prominent peaks close to or, more often, below 10 Hz. Vibrations due to raindrops show maximal acceleration values at ca. 1000 Hz. Their frequency band at - 2 0 dB extends up to ca. 250 Hz whereas that of the vibrations due to wind extends to only ca. 50 Hz. (b)The frequency spectra of prey vibrations such as those generated by a running cockroach are typically broad-banded and contain high frequencies; they have largest peaks mostly between ca. 400 and 900 Hz. Their - 2 0 dB frequency bands usually extend from a few Hz to ca. 900 Hz. Some potential prey animals such as grasshoppers seem to be vibrocryptic; they walk by the spider as if unnoticed. Their "cautious" gait leads to only weak vibrations at very low frequencies resembling the background noise due to wind. Courtship signals are composed mainly of low frequencies, intermediate between background noise and prey vibrations (male: prominent peaks at ca. 75 Hz and ca. 115 Hz; female: dominant frequencies between ca. 20 Hz and ca. 50 Hz). The male signal is composed of "syllables" and differs from all other vibrations studied here by being temporally highly ordered. A comparison with previous electrophysiological studies suggests that the high pass characteristics of the vibration receptors enhance the signal-to-(abiotic)-noise ratio and that the vibraion-sensitive interneurons so far examined and found to have band pass characteristics are tuned to the frequencies found in the vibrations of biotic origin. (2) Signal propagation (Fig. 5). In terms of frequency-dependent attenuation of vibrations the banana plant is well suited for transmitting the above signals. Average attenuation values are ca. 0.35 dB/cm. Together with known data on vibration receptor sensitivity this explains the range of courtship signals of more than 1 m observed in behavioral studies. Attenuation in the plant is neither a monotonic function of frequency nor of distance from the signal source.}, keywords = {Cupiennius, sensory ecology, Spider, Vibratory environment}, url = {http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007\%2FBF00379186}, author = {Friedrich G Barth and Bleckmann, Horst and Bohnenberger, Johannes and Seyfarth, Ernst-August} } @article {scorpions, title = {Scorpions (Arachnida) from Costa Rica}, journal = {Special Publications of Texas Tech University Press}, volume = {25}, year = {1987}, pages = {1-64}, abstract = {

The scorpion fauna of Costa Rica has received sporadic treatment in the literature. The only comprehensive report is that of Pocock (1902). In Biologia Centrali-Americana, he recorded four species of Buthidae from Costa Rica, three in the genus Centruroides Marx and one in Tityus Koch, based on less than a dozen specimens. Viquez (1935) listed nine species for Costa Rica but, as indicated below, his work is fraught with errors. Our study of hundreds of specimens from Costa Rica indicates that its scorpion fauna is more diverse than previously known. In this contribution, we propose one synonymy, we dismiss reports of six species for Costa Rica, we report for the first time three species for that country, and finally we describe three species new to science.

The fauna of Costa Rica as presently known includes representatives of four of the nine families of Recent scorpions, distributed among 14 species in seven genera. Much has been written about the role of Central America as a biogeographic barrier to marine organisms in the Pacific and Caribbean oceans, and its role as a bridge for the terrestrial biota of North and South America (for example, Marshall et al., 1982). As would be expected, the scorpion fauna of Costa Rica consists of a mixed assemblage of taxa with northern and southern affinities. The genus Centruroides (Buthidae) is diverse and abundant in North America and the Caribbean region. The genera Ananteris Thorell (Buthidae), Chactas Gervais (Chactidae), Opisthacanthus Peters (Ischnuridae), and Tityus Koch (Buthidae), are clearly South American, and their northern (or northwestern) limits of distribution are in Costa Rica. The genus Didymocentrus Kraepelin (Diplocentridae) is a circum-Caribbean element found in Central America and the Antilles. Finally, the species of Isometrus Hemprich and Ehrenberg (Buthidae) found in Costa Rica is a pantropical\ taxon widely dispersed by man.\ 

Aside from isolated taxonomic works, we are unaware of any other\ publications dealing with the biology or medical significance of scorpions in Costa Rica. Some members of the genera Centruroides and Tityus have neurotoxic venoms that can cause death in humans. Most of the species from Costa Rica are too rare and poorly known to state definitely their potential medical significance. Others are inferred (based on studies on congeneric species) to have low concentrations of, or altogether lack, neurotoxins and thus are of no medical concern. The venom of Centruroides margaritatus (Gervais), the only member of the Costa Rican scorpiofauna studied, has a low mammalian toxicity (Marinkelle and Stahnke, 1965). We hope that the taxonomic and distributional information\ presented herein will stimulate further research into the biology of Costa\ Rican scorpions.

Zelotes is the only zelotine gnaphosid genus previously recorded from Madagascar; Zelotes bastardi (Simon) and Z. madagascaricus (Strand) probably represent females and males, respectively, of a single species. Only females exist in current collections, and their affinities remain uncertain. Three other zelotine species occur in the Malagasy collections studied: the cosmopolitan, synanthropic species Urozelotes rusticus (L. Koch), and two species of the genus Camillina. A revision of the Old World Camillina indicates that both those species are new (C. tsima and C. fiana) and endemic to Madagascar and to Madagascar and the Comoro Islands, respectively; the two are not sister species. A recent revision of the American Camillina is supplemented with new descriptions, synonymies, and records. Echemella aldabrae Strand, Echemus pavesii Simon, Zelotes tucumanus Mello-Leit\ão, and Z. tobari Mello-Leit\ão are transferred to Camillina; the latter two names are newly synonymized with C. pulcher (Keyserling) and C. arguta (Simon), respectively. Camillina natalensis Lawrence is newly synonymized with C. cordifera (Tullgren). Discovery of the type of C. galapagoensis (Banks) indicates that this species was previously misidentified by Platnick and Shadab; their species C. cruz is newly synonymized and the species misidentified by them as C. galapagoensis is described as C. isabela. Thirteen other new species are described: C. maun from Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa; C. kaibos from the Ivory Coast and Kenya; C. capensis from South Africa; C. namibensis from Namibia; C. kochalkai, C. madrejon, C. cui, and C. mahnerti from Paraguay; C. pilar from Paraguay and Argentina; C. mauryi, C. cordoba, and C. galianoae from Argentina; and C. penai from northern Chile and southern Peru.

So far the genus Cupiennius is represented by 21 nominal species. All the type specimens available as well as further collected material, amounting to a total of 533 adult specimens, were examined. The characteristic features of the genus are: a) the presence of a third claw on the plantula, b) the presence of claw tufts, c) the shape of these claw tufts, d) the structure of the copulatory organs, and e) the circular shape of the anterior lateral eyes. Seven species could be distinguished morphologically. These are C. getazi, coccineus, salei, foliatus, granadensis, cubae and panamensis n. sp., which has been overlooked and is described here. Three species are excluded from the genus, which is justified on the basis of both their original descriptions as well as their places of origin. These species are: argentinus, celerrirnus and diploccllatus. The remaining species are distinguished mainly by the structure of their genital organs. These differ with respect to the terminal region of the d bulbi and the internal (dorsal) structure of the Y epigynae. In C. getazi the pattern formed by the folium and the coloration of the body are additional distinctive features. Characters previously used in the literature such as the distribution of spines on the legs, the size and the location of the eyes, the number and shape of the teeth on the chelicerae and the length ratio of the legs are of no value for the distinction of species. The species distinguished herein are to be regarded as morphospecies. Four of them, C. coccineus, salei, and getazi were successfully bred in the laboratory and have thus been shown to he biospecies. C. foliatus cry have been raised from the same cocoon. The genus clearly belongs to the family Ctenidae. In accordance with the classical typological assignment of the families this classification is based on the combined occurrence of a 3rd claw and claw tufts together with the specific distribution of the eyes and the structure of their retinae. The genus exclusively occurs in Central America.

Abstract: Psalmopoeus reduncus (Karsh) is redescribed and illustrated. These spiders live in tree holes up to 4 m above ground level in the forest. Females have been found with eggs in March and April, males wander about in December. The species shows large variation in bulb and leg length, probably correlated with their wide distribution. Poor dispersal mechanisms in the theraphosids in general restrict distribution to small geographical areas, but the arboreal habits of this particular species apparently permit dispersal by phoresis on birds. Avicularia avicularia (L) is reported from Costa Rica for the first time.

The present paper is concerned with a group of species assigned up to now to the genus Phiale (with the exception of Chira portai). Frigga Koch, C.L., 1851 had been proposed as a subgenus of Euophrys, with E. coronigera Koch, C.L. 1846, as the type species. We consider Frigga as a genus, related with Hyllus, from which it is distinguised by the structure of the genetalia. Differences between Phiale and Frigga are pointed out. Frigga species are closely related and have rather similar morphology. Females have a depression on the anterior of the epigynum and a scape attached ventrally on the depth of a notch. Males have a bifid tibial apophysis on the palp. The following nre combinations are established with description of the species; Frigga coronigera (Koch, C.L. 1846), F. crocuta (Taczanowski, 1879), F. kessleri (Taczanowski, 1872), F. pratensis (Peckham \& Peckham, 1885), F. quintensis (Tullgren, 1905), F. flava (Cambridge, 1901), F. simoni (Berland, 1913). Six specific names are newly synonymised: Phiale cardinalis Mello-Leitao, 1945, = F. quintensis; Phiale olomegae Kraus, 1955 = F. praensis; Cyrene dolorosa Banks, 1909 = F. pratensis; E. astigera Kock, 1846 = F. coronigera; Chira portai Caporacco, 1954 and Asaracus psecadiformis Caporiacco, 1947 = F. kessleri. Two new species are described: F. finitima sp. n. from the north of R. Argentina and Bolivia and F. opulenta sp. n. from Ecuador and Peru.

The presence of an anterior labral spur is suggested to be synapomorphic for the Anapidae. Anapis is redefined to include those anapids with a procurved posterior eye row, medially excavate chelicerae bearing a distal plate, a ridged palpal conductor, and a recurved retrolateral apophysis on the male palpal patela; at least some species build orb webs. The genera Epecthina Simon and Epecthinula Simon are newly synonymized with Anapis. A key, diagnoses, and supplementary ilustrations are provided for the 21 known species, found from southern Mexico and Jamaica south to Peru and Brazil. Because more than half the species are known from only one sex, males and females were subjected to separate cladistic analyses; despite the availability of only an extremely small sample of characters, the resulting cladograms are compatible. A technique developed to combine the irinformation generated eight specific predictions about the morphology of unknown specimens that can serve as tests of the hypothesized relationships. Fifteen new species are described: A. heredia and A. monteverde from Costa Rica, A. anchicaya, A. saladito, A. calima, A. digua, A. felidia, A. atuncela, A. guasca, A. meta, and A. amazonas from Colombia, A. choroni from Venezuela, A. chiriboga from Ecuador, and A. castilla and A. caluga from Peru.

Erginulus clavotibialis (Cambridge, 1904) Goodnight \& Goodnight, 1976 is a relatively large opilionid which is found in a wide variety of habitats in southern Mexico, Yucatan, Belize, and Guatemala. It is often found in small groups of 2-3 individuals under moist logs or rocks in suitable moist habitats. Because of its size and activity and omnivorous habits, it probably plays an important role in the ecology of the areas in which it is common. A study of the structures and characters used for its classification indicates that the number of tarsal segments, general spination of the dorsum and legs, the color pattern, and form of the penis are all important; the number of tarsal segments is least variable and that of the color pattern most variable. The female remains with the eggs after they are deposited in suitably moist spots. They hatched in 23-27 days at 20 C; the young remained with the female for ca. four days and then scattered. There were six nymphal stages, and the final molt was undergone 121 days after hatching.

The seven known species of Neocteniza are diagnosed and described; a male of the genus is reported for the first time. On the basis of shared derived characters it is concluded that the Actinopodidae and Migidae are sister groups and that of the three known genera of Actinopodidae, Actinopus and Missulena together constitute the sistergroup of Neocteniza. The genitalia of Neocteniza, particularly of the male, are of extraordinary complexity for mygalomorph spiders, and suggest that males can mate only once and females only once during each adult instar. Five new species are described: N.pococki from Venezuela, N.fantastica from Colombia, N.osa from Costa Rica, N. subirana from Honduras, and N. paucispina from Guatemala. Genitalic and somatic characters of the group are illustrated in detail for the first time.

The status of the families Symphytognathidae, Anapidae, Textricellidae and Micropholcommatidae and the genera Mysmena and Lucharachne is discussed, and it is proposed to group all of these spiders into a single family for which the earliest name is Symphytognathidae. The affinities of the family are discussed, and it is concluded that it was derived from the Argiopidae; and it is suggested that the resemblance which some genera show with the Theridiidae in structure and habits is the result of convergence. The web, where it is known, indicates that the basic structure is an orbweb, but that in a number of species this has been modified to give the appearance of webs typical for the Theridiidae and Linyphiidae. New records are given for a number of previously described species, and two new genera and twenty-eight new species are established. The structure of the respiratory system within the family is discussed, and it is concluded that the different systems represented have at the most generic significance.

Through the courtesy of the authorities of Chicago Natural History Museum we have been able to study the phalangid collections accumulated in the Museum\’s Division of Insects. This group of arachnids, often known as harvestmen or \"daddy longlegs,\" has been much neglected, and every considerable collection proves to be rich in new genera and species. We are especially indebted to Mr. William J. Gerhard, Curator of Insects, and Mr. Rupert L. Wenzel and Mr. Henry S. Dybas, Assistant Curators, for friendly aid. The material studied includes the collections of Ivan T. Sanderson from British Honduras and Mexico, deposited in Chicago Museum ; specimens collected in Mexico and Colombia by Henry S. Dybas; a small collection from Venezuela presented to the Museum by Padre Cornelio Vogl, of Caracas; and collections of phalangids made by Chief Curator Karl P. Schmidt in Honduras, Guatemala, and Peru. This paper records collections of phalangids from Yucatan for the first time. As was to be expected, the Yucatan forms are closely related to those of southern Mexico. The first record from Mexico of the subfamily Stygnommatinae (Phalangodidae) is of unusual interest. The discovery of the new genus and species Flaccus annulipes adds to our knowledge of the distribution of this subfamily.Two new members of the subfamily Phalangodinae (Phalangodidae), Pellobunus granulosa and Paramitraceras chichivaca, are described in this paper. Junicus gerhardi (Phalangodidae: Triacommatinae) adds to our information concerning the distribution of this relatively small subfamily.

As a result of receiving several new collections, the writers have been able to continue their studies on the taxonomic and distributional problems of the Central\ American phalangids. In the study of\ these collections, the material from Central\ America at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, was\ consulted. Here the authors were enabled\ to study various types through the kindness of Mr. Nathan Banks.\ Dr. Alexander Petrunkevitch of Yale\ University generously allowed the authors\ to study his collection of Central American\ phalangids.\ Types redescribed from these two collections are acknowledged in this\ paper. The new species described below were\ collected mainly by Dr. and Mrs. Charles\ D.Michener with the assistance of Dr.\ Edson H. Fichter.\ All holotypes of new species are deposited\ in the collection of the American Museum\ of Natural History.

In this paper we present the second part of a revisional study of the Agelenid spiders belonging to the group Ageleneae. The first part appeared in the ANNALS of the Entomological Society of America, 1941, Vol. 34. In the present paper, we treat the rest of the known North American genera of this group, con- sisting of Hololena Chamberlin and Gertsch, Novalena, new, Rualena, new, and Melpomene Cambridge. Besides the specimens in the University of Utah collection, we had access to a considerable number of specimens from the American Museum of Natural History, kindly loaned to us by Dr. Willis J. Gertsch. Among the latter, were several species which Dr. Gertsch had recognized and labeled as new, but permitted us to use in this revision; these were Hololena pearcei, Rualena alleni and cockerelli, and Melpomene plesia and chiricana. We have followed the method of presentation used in the earlier paper. The present location of the specimens referred t o is given as near as we know it. The abbreviations used are these : A. M.- American Museum, U. U.- University of Utah, F. M.- Field Museum, M. C. Z.- Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard. While this work is far from complete, it is an attempt to compile what is known of this group, with the hope that it will serve as a basis for future workers in this field

In this paper, we describe a hundred new species of American spiders, most of them from North America, with a few from South America. These are a part of the new species which have been accumulating in the collection of the University of Utah, as well as several from the collections of the Field Museum and the American Museum which were made available for our study. The types are in the University of Utah collection, except where otherwise noted. In addition to the hundred species, one new subfamily, six new genera, five new subgenera, and six new subspecies are named. One known genus, Chorizomma, is reduced to the rank of a subgenus. Included also are some notes 011 known species, with figures and descriptions of some of them. Except in the cases of Metepeira and Linyphantes, no attempt at revisional work is undertaken. In these two genera, all of the species known to us are considered.

The writers have had the opportunity of examining a considerable collection of phalangids from Central America and the\ West Indies. A number of new species and\ several new genera were discovered. The Gonyleptidae is poorly represented\ in the North American fauna, species having been previously recorded only from Panama. In this study, three more gonyleptids were encountered and further increase our knowledge of the northern ranges of this group. A number of new species of Phalangodidae were found and\ indicate the diversity of this group in an area which has been somewhat neglected.

The greatest number and variety of species were found in the Cosmetidae which apparently reach their stage of greatest development in this area. The writers are again indebted to Dr.\ F.E.Lutz for the fine collecting he did throughout the West Indies. Other collectors have also contributed, and they are acknowledged after the description of the species. Thanks are also due to Dr. W.J. Gertsch for permitting the writers to examine the colection. All holotypes and paratypes are deposited in the collection of The American Museum of Natural History.

In this paper, we present the first part of a revisional study of North American spiders belonging to the group Ageleneae. It deals with the genera Agelenopsis of Giebel and Calilena, Ritalena and Tortolena, newly proposed for groups of western and southern species. In the case of Agelenopsis, both sexes are described for all species excepting texana and aleenae which are at present known from the males only. Our knowledge of the second genus is less complete and various gaps remain to be filled. In the second paper, which it is hoped will follow at an early date, the remaining genera of the Ageleneae as represented in North America will be covered in a similar manner.
