[email protected] ABSTRACT — Two new species of Neocaeculus (Acari: Caeculidae) are described from Barrow Island, Western Australia: Neocaeculus kinnearae and N. nudonates. Neocaeculus kinnearae is a likely epigean species closely related to N. knoepffleri; N. nudonates is likely to be a sand-burrowing species. Neocaeculus knoepffleri and N. bornemisszai are also recorded from Barrow Island.

  • Pinyon Pine Mortality Alters Communities of Ground-Dwelling Arthropods
    Western North American Naturalist 74(2), © 2014, pp. 162–184 PINYON PINE MORTALITY ALTERS COMMUNITIES OF GROUND-DWELLING ARTHROPODS Robert J. Delph1,2,6, Michael J. Clifford2,3, Neil S. Cobb2, Paulette L. Ford4, and Sandra L. Brantley5 ABSTRACT.—We documented the effect of drought-induced mortality of pinyon pine (Pinus edulis Engelm.) on com- munities of ground-dwelling arthropods. Tree mortality alters microhabitats utilized by ground-dwelling arthropods by increasing solar radiation, dead woody debris, and understory vegetation. Our major objectives were to determine (1) whether there were changes in community composition, species richness, and abundance of ground-dwelling arthro- pods associated with pinyon mortality and (2) whether specific habitat characteristics and microhabitats accounted for these changes. We predicted shifts in community composition and increases in arthropod diversity and abundance due to the presumed increased complexity of microhabitats from both standing dead and fallen dead trees. We found signifi- cant differences in arthropod community composition between high and low pinyon mortality environments, despite no differences in arthropod abundance or richness. Overall, 22% (51 taxa) of the arthropod community were identified as being indicators of either high or low mortality. Our study corroborates other research indicating that arthropods are responsive to even moderate disturbance events leading to changes in the environment. These arthropod responses can be explained in part due to the increase in woody debris and reduced canopy cover created by tree mortality. RESUMEN.—Documentamos el efecto de la mortalidad causada por la sequía del pino piñonero (Pinus edulis Engelm.) sobre comunidades de artrópodos subterráneos.

Dunlop, Jo¨rg Wunderlich and George O. Poinar Jr ABSTRACT: The first fossil opilioacariform mite (Acari: Opilioacariformes), Paracarus pristinus sp. n., is described from Baltic amber (Tertiary: Eocene). This well-preserved inclusion has six eyes and, thus, can be excluded from the derived, four-eyed genera. Based on characters such as the extremely long leg 4, it is assigned to the extant central Asian genus Paracarus Chamberlin & Mulaik, 1942. As with many Baltic amber inclusions, we lack an exact provenance for the type specimen, but the Baltic region is further north than the present day range of Recent opilioacariform species and suggests that the range of this group was once more extensive within Eurasia. The first solifuge (Solifugae) from Baltic amber is described as Palaeoblossia groehni gen. et sp. n. Based on its size and general appearance, it can be assigned to Daesiidae, and again represents an arachnid group which previously had a much wider geographical range. If adult, it may represent the smallest solifuge known. KEY WORDS: Arachnida, Arthropoda, biogeography. Eocene Fossil mites (Arachnida: Acari) are generally rather rare, evolution may have involved two phases of adaptive radiation; although they are quite frequent and diverse in Baltic amber. first in the mid-Palaeozoic, and subsequently, in the late Useful summaries can be found in Bernini (1986), Selden Mesozoic.

Western North American Naturalist 64(2), ©2004, pp. 145–154 BIOGEOGRAPHIC AND TAXONOMIC RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE MOUNTAIN SNAILS (GASTROPODA: OREOHELICIDAE) OF THE CENTRAL GREAT BASIN Mark A. Ports1 ABSTRACT.—Described here are 4 species of mountain snails, Oreohelix, isolated on mountains in the central Great Basin of Nevada and Utah since the end of the Pleistocene. Forty-three mountains were searched during an 18-year period, resulting in 24 mountains found with no oreohelicids present. One population, Oreohelix loisae (19 mm to 23 mm in shell diameter), is described here as a new species related to, but geographically isolated from, the species Oreohelix nevadensis (17 mm to 22 mm diameter). Oreohelix loisae is present only in the Goshute Mountains while O. nevadensis is represented in 3 geographically adjacent ranges in the central Great Basin. These 2 species are possibly related to the Oreohelix haydeni group from the northern Wasatch Range.

  • Burmese Amber Taxa
    Burmese (Myanmar) amber taxa, on-line checklist v.2018.2 Andrew J. Ross 03/09/2018 Principal Curator of Palaeobiology Department of Natural Sciences National Museums Scotland Chambers St. Edinburgh EH1 1JF E-mail: [email protected] http://www.nms.ac.uk/collections-research/collections-departments/natural-sciences/palaeobiology/dr- andrew-ross/ This taxonomic list is based on Ross et al (2010) plus non-arthropod taxa and published papers up to the end of August 2018. It does not contain unpublished records or records from papers in press (including on-line proofs) or unsubstantiated on-line records. Often the final versions of papers were published on- line the year before they appeared in print, so the on-line published year is accepted and referred to accordingly. Note, the authorship of species does not necessarily correspond to the full authorship of papers where they were described. The latest high level classification is used where possible though in some cases conflicts were encountered, usually due to cladistic studies, so in these cases an older classification was adopted for convenience. The classification for Hexapoda follows Nicholson et al. (2015), plus subsequent papers. † denotes extinct orders and families. New additions or changes to the previous list (v.2018.1) are marked in blue, corrections are marked in red. The list comprises 38 classes (or similar rank), 102 orders (or similar rank), 525 families, 777 genera and 1013 species (excluding Tilin amber and copal records). This includes 8 classes, 65 orders, 480 families, 714 genera and 941 species of arthropods. 1 Some previously recorded families have since been synonymised or relegated to subfamily level- these are included in parentheses in the main list below.
