ABSTRACT A systematic, synonymic and biogeographical check-list of oribatid mites known in the Mediterranean Region is made. Comparing this fauna with that of the other biogeographical regions, its results hightly rich, because incude 1937 species and subspecies. Four new records for that region, two from Spain, Microzetes asiaticus (Krivolutsky, 1975) and Eremella pulchella (Balogh, 1959) (also the genus Eremella Berlese, 1913 is new record), other from Morocco, Microzetes simplisetus (Mahunka, 1998), and the fourth, Montizetes rarisetosus Bayartogtokh, 1998, from the Caucasus, are made. The distribution of Eupelops halophilus Pérez-Íñigo, 1969 and Eupelops somalicus (Berlese, 1916), also recorded for the fi rst time for the Caucasus, is remarkably widered. New synonyms of Oribatula (Zygoribatula) lanceolata (Grobler, Bayram y Cobanoglu, 2004) and Hemileius (Simkinia) ovalis Kulijev, 1968 are established. ecosistema y, por lo tanto, de gran interés desde el 1.

Illustrated keys for subfamilies, genera and species found in British and Irish waters were provided for participants from the major national agencies and consultancies involved in benthic sample processing. After the workshop, we prepared updates to these keys, to include some additional species provided by participants, and some species reported from nearby areas.

Av. Benavides 5400, Surco. P.O. Box 18-131. Lima, Perú. Abstract: Peru is an ecologically diverse country, with 84 life zones in the Holdridge system and 18 ecological regions (including two marine). 1910 molluscan species have been recorded. The highest number corresponds to the sea: 570 gastropods, 370 bivalves, 36 cephalopods, 34 polyplacoforans, 3 monoplacophorans, 3 scaphopods and 2 aplacophorans (total 1018 species). The most diverse families are Veneridae (57spp.), Muricidae (47spp.), Collumbellidae (40 spp.) and Tellinidae (37 spp.). Biogeographically, 56 % of marine species are Panamic, 11 % Peruvian and the rest occurs in both provinces; 73 marine species are endemic to Peru. Land molluscs include 763 species, 2.54 % of the global estimate and 38 % of the South American esti- mate. The most biodiverse families are Bulimulidae with 424 spp., Clausiliidae with 75 spp. and Systrophiidae with 55 spp. In contrast, only 129 freshwater species have been reported, 35 endemics (mainly hydrobiids with 14 spp. The paper includes an overview of biogeography, ecology, use, history of research efforts and conser- vation; as well as indication of areas and species that are in greater need of study.

The 242 new species are distributed unevenly among 50 families, with 62% of the total from the top 10 families. Geographically, these species are distributed unevenly among 39 countries. Most new species (72%) are from the top 10 countries, whereas 61% of the countries have only 1–3 new species each. Four of the top 10 countries are from Asia (Vietnam, China, India and The Philippines).

E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] * corresponding author ABSTRACT: This report concerns macro-remains of arthropods from Neogene sites in Alaska and northern Canada. New data from known or recently investigated localities are presented and comparisons made with faunas from equivalent latitudes in Asia and Greenland. Many of the Canadian sites belong to the Beaufort Formation, a prime source of late Tertiary plant and insect fossils. But new sites are continually being discovered and studied and among the most informative of these are several from the high terrace gravel on Ellesmere Island. One Ellesmere Island locality, known informally as the “Beaver Peat” contains spectacularly well preserved plant and arthropod fossils, and is the only Pliocene site in Arctic North America to yield a variety of vertebrate fossils. Like some of the other “keystone” localities discussed here, it promises to be important for dating and correlation as well as for documenting high Arctic climatic and environmental conditions during the Pliocene.
