New Species of Vaejovis from the Santa Rita Mountains, Southern Arizona (Scorpiones: Vaejovidae) New Species of Vaejovis from the Santa Rita Mountains, Southern Arizona (Scorpiones: Vaejovidae) Richard F. Ayrey & Michael E. Soleglad March 2014 — No. 183 Euscorpius Occasional Publications in Scorpiology EDITOR: Victor Fet, Marshall University, ‘[email protected]’ ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Michael E. Soleglad, ‘[email protected]’ Euscorpius is the first research publication completely devoted to scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones). Euscorpius takes advantage of the rapidly evolving medium of quick online publication, at the same time maintaining high research standards for the burgeoning field of scorpion science (scorpiology). Euscorpius is an expedient and viable medium for the publication of serious papers in scorpiology, including (but not limited to): systematics, evolution, ecology, biogeography, and general biology of scorpions. Review papers, descriptions of new taxa, faunistic surveys, lists of museum collections, and book reviews are welcome. Derivatio Nominis The name Euscorpius Thorell, 1876 refers to the most common genus of scorpions in the Mediterranean region and southern Europe (family Euscorpiidae). Euscorpius is located at: http://www.science.marshall.edu/fet/Euscorpius (Marshall University, Huntington, West Virginia 25755-2510, USA) ICZN COMPLIANCE OF ELECTRONIC PUBLICATIONS: Electronic (“e-only”) publications are fully compliant with ICZN (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature) (i.e. for the purposes of new names and new nomenclatural acts) when properly archived and registered. All Euscorpius issues starting from No. 156 (2013) are archived in two electronic archives: Biotaxa, http://biotaxa.org/Euscorpius (ICZN-approved and ZooBank-enabled) Marshall Digital Scholar, http://mds.marshall.edu/euscorpius/. (This website also archives all Euscorpius issues previously published on CD-ROMs.) Between 2000 and 2013, ICZN did not accept online texts as "published work" (Article 9.8). At this time, Euscorpius was produced in two identical versions: online (ISSN 1536-9307) and CD-ROM (ISSN 1536-9293) (laser disk) in archive-quality, read-only format. Both versions had the identical date of publication, as well as identical page and figure numbers. Only copies distributed on a CD-ROM from Euscorpius in 2001-2012 represent published work in compliance with the ICZN, i.e. for the purposes of new names and new nomenclatural acts. In September 2012, ICZN Article 8. What constitutes published work, has been amended and allowed for electronic publications, disallowing publication on optical discs. From January 2013, Euscorpius discontinued CD-ROM production; only online electronic version (ISSN 1536-9307) is published. For further details on the new ICZN amendment, see http://www.pensoft.net/journals/zookeys/article/3944/.

This small, dark brown species is found in the Santa Rita Mountains, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA. It is most similar to V. vorhiesi Stahnke and V. deboerae Ayrey. The pedipalp fixed finger usually has 5 inner denticles (ID) and the movable finger has 6, like in most other southern Arizona Vaejovis. Introduction Measurements are as described in Stahnke (1970), trichobothrial patterns are as in Vachon (1974), pedipalp Including the new species described in this paper, finger dentition follows Soleglad & Sissom (2001), and from the Santa Rita Mountains of Arizona, there are now sternum terminology as described in Soleglad & Fet 16 “vorhiesi” group species. The population described (2003). here as Vaejovis grahami was known already to Herbert Stahnke and included in his original description of Abbreviations Vaejovis vorhiesi Stahnke. Since that description was written, 75 years ago, most scorpiologists have assumed CNAN, Colección Nacional de Arácnidos, Instituto the designation was correct. This was in spite of the de Biologia, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de obvious geographic separation between the Huachuca México, D.F., Mexico; MES, personal collection of and Santa Rita Mountains. After the publication of the Michael E. Soleglad, Winchester, California, USA; species description of Vaejovis deboerae Ayrey, 2009, RFA, personal collection of Richard F. Ayrey, Flagstaff, the first author thought about the possibility, but Arizona, USA; UANL, Universidad Autónoma de dismissed it until the recent publication of the “vorhiesi” Nuevo León, San Nicolas de los Garza, Nuevo León, group DNA paper (Bryson et al., 2013). Those Mexico; and USNM, United States National Museum, specimens collected by Stahnke, from the Santa Rita Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA. Mountains, are now referred to Vaejovis grahami. As of this publication, only the specimens from the Huachuca Mountains are still considered Vaejovis vorhiesi. Material The recent DNA evidence (Bryson et al., 2013) is consistent with the morphometric evidence and confirms Besides type material listed below under new that Vaejovis grahami is a new species. Based on the species description, the following additional specimens DNA, it is most closely related to V. vorhiesi and V. were examined: deboerae and its lineage has been isolated from lineages Vaejovis grahami sp. nov.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION Presence of Vaejovis Franckei in Epiphytic
    2009. The Journal of Arachnology 37:371–372 SHORT COMMUNICATION Presence of Vaejovis franckei in epiphytic bromeliads in three temperate forest types Demetria Mondrago´n and Gabriel Isaı´as Cruz Ruiz: Centro Interdisciplinario de Investigacio´n para el Desarrollo Integral Regional (CIIDIR) Unidad Oaxaca, Calle Hornos No. 1003. Santa Cruz Xoxocotla´n, Oaxaca, Me´xico. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Reports of scorpions on epiphytic bromeliads in temperate forests are scarce. Here we present some ecological aspects of this animal-plant interaction in three different types of temperate forests (pine, pine-oak and oak forest) in Oaxaca, Mexico. From 2005 to 2007, we collected 373 bromeliads belonging to 10 species, and each plant was defoliated in search of scorpions. We found 35 individuals of Vaejovis franckei Sissom 1989 in 19 bromeliads: 22 specimens in Tillandsia carlos-hankii with 21% occupancy and an average abundance of 2.1 6 1.9 individuals/plant; 12 specimens in T. prodigiosa (10% occupancy, average abundance 5 1.6 6 0.6) and one specimen in T. calothyrsus (3% occupancy, average abundance 5 1 6 0.0). Pine-oak forest had 29 individuals; pine forest, 4 individuals; and oak forest, 2 individuals. Percentage of occupancy differed among localities, while average abundance remained the same. Vaejovis franckei preferred T. carlos- hankii and pine-oak forest, which was correlated with the percentage of occupancy but not with the average abundance. Keywords: Phytotelmata, Mexico The presence of scorpions in tank-type bromeliads has been widely percentage of occupancy differed among sampling localities (8% in 2 reported (Lucas 1975; Richardson 1999; Santos et al.

The analysis is based on 250 morphological characters and 4221 aligned DNA nucleotides from three mitochondrial and two nuclear gene markers, for 145 terminal taxa, representing 47 species in 11 ingroup genera, and 15 species in eight outgroup genera. The monophyly and composition of Syntropinae and its component genera, as proposed by Soleglad and Fet, are tested. The follow- ing taxa are demonstrated to be para- or polyphyletic: Smeringurinae; Syntropinae; Vaejovinae; Stahnkeini; Syntropini; Syntrop- ina; Thorelliina; Hoffmannius; Kochius; and Thorellius. The spinose (hooked or toothed) margin of the distal barb of the sclerotized hemi-mating plug is demonstrated to be a unique, unambiguous synapomorphy for Syntropinae, uniting taxa previ- ously assigned to different subfamilies.

The completion of the AJO-1 tower project is still on-going and has not been cancelled in the sense of stopping. This project will go to completion. After extensive review, Secretary Napolitano has directed CBP to end SBInet as originally conceived and instead implement a new border security technology plan, which will utilize existing, proven technology tailored to the distinct terrain and population density of each border region. Our nation's border security is still very much a high priority and projects to enhance border security will continue. Please do provide comments on the Supplemental Draft EA that you have mentioned. As our other projects move forward, we will be in touch to share future information regarding our environmental compliance requirements. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Patience Patience E.

  • Coronado National Forest
    CORONADO NATIONAL FOREST FIRE MANAGEMENT PLAN Reviewed and Updated by _/s/ Chris Stetson ___________ Date __5/18/10 __________ Coronado Fire Management Plan Interagency Federal fire policy requires that every area with burnable vegetation must have a Fire Management Plan (FMP). This FMP provides information concerning the fire process for the Coronado National Forest and compiles guidance from existing sources such as but not limited to, the Coronado National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP), national policy, and national and regional directives. The potential consequences to firefighter and public safety and welfare, natural and cultural resources, and values to be protected help determine the management response to wildfire. Firefighter and public safety are the first consideration and are always the priority during every response to wildfire. The following chapters discuss broad forest and specific Fire Management Unit (FMU) characteristics and guidance. Chapter 1 introduces the area covered by the FMP, includes a map of the Coronado National Forest, addresses the agencies involved, and states why the forest is developing the FMP. Chapter 2 establishes the link between higher-level planning documents, legislation, and policies and the actions described in FMP. Chapter 3 articulates specific goals, objectives, standards, guidelines, and/or desired future condition(s), as established in the forest’s LRMP, which apply to all the forest’s FMUs and those that are unique to the forest’s individual FMUs. Page 1 of 30 Coronado Fire Management Plan Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION The Coronado National Forest developed this FMP as a decision support tool to help fire personnel and decision makers determine the response to an unplanned ignition.
