The Proposal is located approximately 90 kilometres (km) north east of Newman in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia. The additional ore sources are required to provide sufficient feed to sustain the current level of iron ore production from the BHP Billiton Iron Ore Pilbara mines. The Proposal will construct and utilise ore processing facilities, including ore handling plant, stockpiles and train load out facilities located at the existing Mining Area C Mine. Primary crushing and open pit mining activities will take place in the Southern Flank locality. This approach reflects BHP Billiton Iron Ore’s current approach of developing new orebodies which are able to utilise infrastructure around established mining hubs. This approach will also minimise the amount of clearing required for development of the new deposit. This report provides an assessment of potential impacts to troglofauna from proposed developments of satellite orebodies at Southern Flank (the Indicative Additional Impact Assessment Area). All troglofauna surveys in the Proposed Mining Area C Development Envelope have been conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the Environmental Protection Authority’s (EPA) Guidance Statement 54A and expectations of Environmental Assessment Guideline 12 and nearly 2750 troglofauna samples have been collected. Altogether, 126 species belonging to 19 Orders were recorded within the Proposed Mining Area C Development Envelope. Fifty-one species of 16 Orders were collected from the Indicative Additional Impact Assessment Area, with 21 of these species known only from the Indicative Additional Impact Assessment Area (or only there and within existing approved mining areas). Reliable definition of the ranges of low abundance species requires extensive sampling but ranges may also be inferred from habitat profile information and geological mapping, combined with information about the ranges of related species. While recognising that there is some uncertainty associated with inferences about species’ ranges, detailed habitat characterisation and evaluation of the ranges of related species suggests that for the 21 species known only from the Indicative Additional Impact Assessment Area: Sixteen species are unlikely to be restricted to the Indicative Additional Impact Assessment Area and implementation of the Proposal is considered unlikely to threaten their conservation. Four species are possibly restricted to the Indicative Additional Impact Assessment Area. These are the spiders Prethopalpus julianneae and Prethopalpus sp. B15 (both at the western end of the Indicative Additional Impact Assessment Area) and the isopods nr Andricophiloscia sp. B16 and Philosciidae sp. B03 (both in the south of the Indicative Additional Impact Assessment Area towords the eastern side). Three species were collected from single drill holes as single animals and 17 specimens of Philosciidae sp. B03 were collected from a single drill hole. One species cannot be assigned to a likelihood category because of lack of information. This is the dipluran Parajapygidae `DPL024`, which was collected as a singletoon in the south of the Indicative Additional Impact Assessment Area, towards the eastern side. While the EPA’s objectives for populations and assemblages of subterranean fauna are likely to be met by the Proposal, there is uncertainty whether the EPA’s species objective will be met for the five troglofauna species in the ‘uncertain’ or ‘possibly restricted’ distribution categories. A conservative application of the precautionary principle suggests implementation of the Proposal may possibly threaten the persistence or alter the conservation status of these species. vii Mining Area C – Southern Flank: Troglofauna BHP Billiton Iron Ore CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY .............................................................................................................................

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The monotypic genus Nukuhiva Berland, 1935 with N. adamsoni (Berland, 1933) as type species, is re-described and transferred from the Pisauridae Simon, 1890 (fishing or nursery-web spiders) to the Lycosidae Sundevall, 1833 (wolf spiders) based on genitalic and somatic characters. Nukuhiva adamsoni, originally described from French Polynesia, ap- pears to inhabit mountainous habitats of volcanic origin. Its troglobitic morphology—comparatively small eyes and pale, uniform coloration—suggest it to be associated with subterranean habitats such as caves or lava tubes, similar to the Ha- waiian troglobitic species Lycosa howarthi Gertsch, 1973 and Adelocosa anops Gertsch, 1973. Key words: Lycosinae, subterranean, troglomorphy Introduction Obligatory (troglobitic) and facultative (troglophilic) inhabitants of caves and other subterranean systems are common in spiders world-wide (Deeleman-Reinhold & Deeleman 1980; Harvey et al.

  • Araneae: Oonopidae) from Madagascar
    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Number 3822, 71 pp. January 16, 2015 The Goblin Spiders of the New Genus Volborattella (Araneae: Oonopidae) from Madagascar ALMA D. SAUCEDO,1 DARRELL UBICK,1 AND CHARLES E. GRISWOLD1 ABSTRACT A new genus of goblin spider from Madagascar, Volborattella Saucedo and Ubick, is pro- posed and its five included species newly described and illustrated: V. teresae, the type species, V. guenevera, V. nasario, V. pauly i, and V. toliara. These species differ from other oonopids in several unusual characters, especially the variously modified setae: abdominal scutes having thick recumbent setae with large bases and conspicuous pits; the pedicel region with mats of plumose setae and associated cuticular projections; and anterior metatarsi with prolateral combs. The male palp of Volborattella appears to be unique in having a terminal projection (embolar superior prong, ESP) that forms an abrupt spiral and the female a receptaculum with an accessory duct (curved tube). Volborattella resemble members of the Gamasomorpha com- plex in lacking leg spines and having a flattened abdomen with complete scutes, but differ geni- talically. The Volborattella female has a receptaculum that is wider than long (as opposed to longer than wide in the Gamasomorpha complex) and the male has the embolar region sharply bent (as opposed to evenly curved), which places the genus in the Pelicinus complex. The rela- tionship of Volborattella to other pelicinoids is not resolved. Although the genus most closely resembles some Silhouettella Benoit, Noideattella Álvarez-Padilla et al. and Lionneta Benoit in various genitalic features, somatically it shares with Tolegnaro Álvarez-Padilla et al.

Pilbara thysanurans are poorly known and the taxonomy of Nicoletiidae is based on their DNA sequences rather than published species descriptions. Subterranean Atelurinae are well known throughout the Pilbara; however, nearly all of the species recognised to date appear to be range restricted. This specimen appears to be characteristic of the Pilbara nicoletiids. This species is a likely SRE. 4.3.2 Psocoptera FAMILY TROGIIDAE Trogiidae ‘sp. indet.’ A single specimen was collected from Deposit D in bore DDRC 006.

Abstract The mega-diverse haplogyne family of goblin spiders (Oonopidae Simon, 1890) has long been among the most poorly known families of spiders. However, since the launch of the goblin spider Planetary Biodiversity Inventory project knowledge about Oonopidae is rapidly expanding. Currently, Oonopidae is placed within the superfamily Dysderoidea and is divided into three subfamilies. Nevertheless, the monophyly and internal phylogeny of this family has not yet been investigated based on DNA sequence data.
