From Eastern Cuba Ecologica Montenegrina 15: 17-21 (2017) This journal is available online at: www.biotaxa.org/em First record of the whip-spider Paraphrynus cubensis Quintero, 1983 (Amblypygi: Phrynidae) from eastern Cuba ROLANDO TERUEL Centro Oriental de Ecosistemas y Biodiversidad, Museo de Historia Natural "Tomás Romay". José A. Saco # 601, esquina a Barnada, Santiago de Cuba 90100, Cuba. E-mail: [email protected] Received: 15 October 2017│ Accepted by V. Pešić: 28 November 2017 │ Published online: 30 November 2017. The genus Paraphrynus Moreno, 1940 is represented in Cuba by three species, each with very well defined distribution (Armas, 2014; Teruel et al., 2009). Paraphrynus viridiceps (Pocock, 1893) is widespread all over the entire archipelago (main island, Isla de Pinos and many offshore cays and islets), and further occurs in the Bahamas. Conversely, Paraphrynus cubensis Quintero, 1983 and Paraphrynus robustus (Franganillo, 1930) are local endemics from the western and eastern regions of the main island, respectively. Nevertheless, based upon their external morphology and ecology, a different grouping is obtained. On one hand, P. robustus and P. viridiceps are both very similar by having a large size, slender habitus and reddish coloration (fig. 1a-b), and are typical troglophiles and almost exclusively restricted to natural or mildly anthropized habitats. On the other hand, P. cubensis is remarkably distinct by its much smaller size, robust habitus and blackish coloration (fig. 1c-d), and is largely synanthropic and only exceptionally found inside caves. Armas (2013: 16) deemed P. cubensis a troglophile based upon three sporadic cave findings. Nevertheless, when these isolated records are compared with its abundant and widespread occurrence in the surface of karstic places plenty of caves (e.g., the Bejucal-Madruga-Coliseo hills and the northern Havana coastal terraces), it becomes evident that this species is more appropriately classified as a trogloxene. The geographical distribution of P. cubensis was updated by Teruel et al. (2009). These authors regarded as native its records from the western region only, i.e., Pinar del Río, La Habana and Ciudad de La Habana Provinces (according to the current political-administrative division, all implied localities belong now to Pinar del Río, Artemisa, La Habana and Mayabeque Provinces). Its scattered occurrences in Cienfuegos and Villa Clara Provinces were regarded as accidental, successful introductions (Teruel et al., 2009). The easternmost previous record of P. cubensis was Placetas town, in the latter province (fig. 2). During a 2016–2017 arachnological survey conducted by the present author and collaborators in the Zoological Park of Santiago de Cuba City (homonymous Province), an unexpected population of P. cubensis was discovered, roughly 475 km to the east of the nearest previous record (see above and fig. 2). Several individuals of different instars were observed in each monthly sampling from July 2016 through October 2017; recruitment was observed in 1 October 2017, i.e., many protonymphs were observed in different locations. All this evidence clearly indicates that this population is successfully established and vigorously reproducing. A representative series of specimens was preserved as voucher in the present author's personal collection (RTO), with the following collecting data: Ecologica Montenegrina, 15, 2017, 17-21 FIRST RECORD OF THE WHIP-SPIDER PARAPHRYNUS CUBENSIS FROM EASTERN CUBA SANTIAGO DE CUBA Province: Santiago de Cuba Municipality: Santiago de Cuba City: Zoological Park (20°01'12.67"N / 75°47'59.12"W); 50 m a.s.l.; among rubble, herbaceous secondary vegetation with scattered trees; 28/July/2016; R. Teruel, S. Yong; 1 juvenile. 13/December/2016; R. Teruel, S. Yong; 1♂, 2♀♀, 3 juveniles. 16/April/2017; R. Teruel, S. Yong, E. Fonseca; 2 juveniles. 1/October/2017; R. Teruel, S. Yong; 1♀. Figure 1. Adult females (and their total length) of the three Cuban species of Paraphrynus, photographed alive in their natural habitat: a) P. robustus (36 mm), Atabex Cave, Siboney, Santiago de Cuba Municipality, homonymous Province; b) P. viridiceps (34 mm), grotto on top of La Silla hill, Cayo Romano, Esmeralda Municipality, Camagüey Province; c) P. cubensis (21 mm), house backyard in Versalles District, Havana City, La Lisa Municipality, La Habana Province; d) P. cubensis (20 mm), Santiago de Cuba Zoological Park. The specific identity of this population is not in doubt. Apart from the characters mentioned above that are obvious to unaided eye (fig. 1), P. cubensis is the only member of the genus that possesses leg I with 27 tibial and 58 tarsal segments, basal segment of chelicera with a single external tooth, pedipalps with spine Td-1 longer than Td-3 and tarsus without dorsobasal spine (Armas, 2014). All these characters are present in the specimens from Santiago de Cuba. Despite having sampled other areas of the Zoological Park, this species was found only in its southeastern corner, just around the lion exhibition area (fig. 3). Two other whip-spiders also occur there syntopically with P. cubensis: the charinid Charinus acosta (Quintero, 1983) and the phrynid Phrynus damonidaensis Quintero, 1981. All were found together under the same rubble fragments, but in different abundances: C. acosta is numerically dominant (possibly facilitated by its parthenogenetic reproduction), followed by P. cubensis and Ph. damonidaensis, which is rare. 18 TERUEL Figure 2. Updated distribution of Paraphrynus cubensis (a), with consecutive zoom in on Santiago de Cuba City (b) and its Zoological Park (c). Previous records in red dots, new records in yellow dots. Images a–b modified from Google Earth®. This population of P. cubensis evidently represents yet another case of an accidental but successful introduction (Teruel et al., 2009). It is restricted to a highly disturbed area of a large city and no other findings are known from the long, intensively sampled eastern region of Cuba. The origin of this introduction is most likely Havana City, where P. cubensis is both widespread and common, especially in its two largest Zoological Parks (R. Teruel, personal observation). Both are locally known as "Zoológico Nacional" and "Zoológico de 26" (located in Boyeros and Vedado Municipalities, respectively), and routinely send to Santiago de Cuba Zoological Park animals for exhibition and related products (cages, food, construction materials and other equipment), which is assumed as the potential introduction pathway. The present contribution not only expands the confirmed distribution of P. cubensis all over the main island (including both native and secondary occurrences), but also turns Santiago de Cuba into the only Province where the three Cuban species of Paraphrynus are present. Acknowledgements I am greatly indebted to my wife Sheyla Yong, for the enthusiastic assistance in the fieldwork that yielded the unexpected finding of P. cubensis in eastern Cuba. Many thanks also to the Tomás M. Rodríguez- Cabrera (Sociedad Cubana de Zoología, Havana, Cuba) and an anonymous peer-reviewer of the manuscript, for their valuable suggestions that improved the paper.

DRR-TEAM MISSION REPORT CUBA October 2018 3 SUMMARY Again, just over a year ago, after hurricane Wilma hit the Cuban coast severely in 2005, hurricane Irma swept over the northern coast of Cuba resulting in heavy damages and inundations of coastal settlements. Only two months later, on the occasion of the signing of a Letter of Intent (November 2017) between The Netherlands and Cuba, which reflects intended cooperation in the field of reduction of costal vulnerability to Climate Change, support to integrated water management and transfer of associated technologies. Soon after, Cuba’s Deputy Minister of Science, Technology and the Environment (CITMA), José Fidel Santana Nuñez, requested in his letter of March 29, 2018, to the Dutch Deputy Minister for Foreign Economic Relations, for Dutch assistance in the field of joint research on coastal flood management with emphasis on the design of infrastructure and environmental engineering in densely populated areas (in this case La Habana) all on the basis of modeling of wave energy dissipation and reduction of coastal vulnerability.

Mancina, & Manuel Iturriaga Instituto de Ecología y Sistemática Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología y Medio Ambiente SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE NO. 145 2014 . SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE The first number of the SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE series appeared in 1968. SHIS number 1 was a list of herpetological publications arising from within or through the Smithsonian Institution and its collections entity, the United States National Museum (USNM). The latter exists now as little more than the occasional title for the registration activities of the National Museum of Natural History. No. 1 was prepared and printed by J. A. Peters, then Curator-in-Charge of the Division of Amphibians & Reptiles. The availability of a NASA translation service and assorted indices encouraged him to continue the series and distribute these items on an irregular schedule. The series continues under that tradition. Specifically, the SHIS series distributes translations, bibliographies, indices, and similar items judged useful to individuals interested in the biology of amphibians and reptiles, and unlikely to be published in the normal technical journals. We wish to encourage individuals to share their bibliographies, translations, etc. with other herpetologists through the SHIS series. If you have such an item, please contact George Zug [zugg @ si.edu] for its consideration for distribution through the SHIS series. Our increasingly digital world is changing the manner of our access to research literature and that is now true for SHIS publications. They are distributed now as pdf documents through two Smithsonian outlets: BIODIVERSITY HERITAGE LIBRARY.

    CUBA: FUNDAMENTAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS PLAN By Manuel Cereijo INSTITUTE FOR CUBAN AND CUBAN-AMERICAN STUDIES U NIVERSITY OF M IAMI ISBN: 1-932385-16-9. Published in 2004. CUBA: FUNDAMENTAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS PLAN Cuba Transition Project – CTP The Cuba Transition Project (CTP) at the Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies at the University of Miami is an important and timely project to study and make recommenda- tions for the reconstruction of Cuba once the post-Castro transition begins in earnest. This is being accomplished through individual original research, work-study groups, and seminars. The project, which began in January 2002, is funded by a grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development. Research Studies The CTP produces a variety of original studies with practical alternative recommenda- tions on various aspects of the transition process. The studies are available in both English and Spanish. The Spanish translations are sent to Cuba through various means. Databases The CTP is developing several key databases: 1. “Transition Studies” - The full-text, of published and unpublished, articles written on topics of transition in Cuba, as well as articles on transition in Central and Eastern Europe, Nicaragua, and Spain. It also includes an extensive bibliography of published and unpublished books, theses, and dissertations on the topic. 2. “Legal Issues” - In full-text, Cuba’s principal laws (in Spanish), the current Cuban Constitution (in English and Spanish), and other legislation relating to the structure of the existing government. This database also includes a law index and the full-text of numerous law review articles on a variety of transition topics.
