The type specimens of Acari, Araneae, Scorpiones, Pantopoda, and Amphipoda housed in the Alexander Koenig Zoological Research Museum, Bonn, are listed. 183 names are recorded; of these, 64 (35%) are represented by name bearing (i.e., primary) types. Specific and subspecific names are listed alphabetically, followed by the original genus name, bibliographic citation, present combination (as far as known to the authors), and emended label data.

Biota Neotrop. 11(1a): http://www.biotaneotropica.org. br/v11n1a/en/abstract?inventory+bn0381101a2011. Abstract: In this study we present a database of spiders described and registered from the Neotropical region between 1757 and 2008. Results are focused on the diversity of the group in the State of São Paulo, compared to other Brazilian states. Data was compiled from over 25,000 records, published in scientific papers dealing with Neotropical fauna. These records enabled the evaluation of the current distribution of the species, the definition of collection gaps and priority biomes, and even future areas of endemism for Brazil. A total of 875 species, distributed in 50 families, have been described from the State of São Paulo. -

C. P. 04510. Del. Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, México. E-mail: [email protected] 2Corresponding author Abstract Spider community inventories have relatively well-established standardized collecting protocols. Such protocols set rules for the orderly acquisition of samples to estimate community parameters and to establish comparisons between areas. These methods have been tested worldwide, providing useful data for inventory planning and optimal sampling allocation efforts. The taxonomic counterpart of biodiversity inventories has received considerably less attention. Species lists and their relative abundances are the only link between the community parameters resulting from a biotic inventory and the biology of the species that live there. However, this connection is lost or speculative at best for species only partially identified (e. g., to genus but not to species). This link is particularly important for diverse tropical regions were many taxa are undescribed or little known such as spiders. One approach to this problem has been the development of biodiversity inventory websites that document the morphology of the species with digital images organized as standard views. -

Diversity of gall-inducing insects in the tropical dry forest (caatinga) of Pernambuco. We report on the richness of galling insects in the vegetation of caatinga of Pernambuco state, Brazil. We recorded 64 different types of galls collected primarily from leaves and stems of 48 species of host plants belonging to 17 families and 31 genera. The most common gall morphological types were spheroid and discoid, glabrous, predominantly green and with one chamber. The main gall inducing taxon was the Cecidomyiidae (Diptera). The results of this study contribute to existing knowledge of galling insect and host-plant diversity in caatinga. KEYWORDS. Cecidomyiidae; host plants; insect galls; insect herbivore; species richness. RESUMO. Diversidade de insetos indutores de galhas na floresta tropical seca (caatinga) de Pernambuco.

Foram registrados 64 diferentes tipos de galhas coletadas principalmente em folhas e caules de 48 espécies de plantas hospedeiras pertencentes a 17 famílias e 31 gêneros. Os tipos morfológicos de galhas mais comuns foram esferóide e discóides, glabro, predominantemente verde e com uma câmara. -

New findings of quite special spiders in Burmese amber (a deposit of “missing links”) are really sensational and provide new hypotheses and conclusions. Appar- ently certain extinct spider groups of the Early and Mid Cretaceous represent “key taxa” as models – or even as “missing links” – to the most diverse branches of de- rived living spiders, e.g., (a) the recently described tailed spider of the peculiar genus Chimerarachne (photo 1) which is a “link” to all groups of living spiders, (b) a “link” to the derived Jumping spiders (Salticidae) and its relatives (members of the “RTA- clade”) and (c) a “link” to Orb-web spiders (Araneidae and its relatives) -

CRUZ DA SILVA & PETRA SIERWALD Division of Insects, Field Museum of Natural History, 1400 S Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL, 60605, USA. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] With 333 described species, the Pisauridae is a moderately species-rich spider family. The family is world wide in distribution and its members exhibit an exceptionally wide range of foraging and prey capture behavior, from web- based hunters, water surface hunters to ambusher hunters in the vegetation. While some pisaurid genera are diverse, boasting numerous species, such as Dolomedes with 96 described species, nearly half of pisaurid genera (22/48) are monotypic (Platnick 2013). Recent collecting and biodiversity research has uncovered several new species, especially from heretofore poorly collected regions in Africa (including Madagascar) and Asia (e.g. Jaeger 2011, Jocqué 1994). Initial steps have been undertaken to develop a phylogenetic framework for parts of the family, e.g., Sierwald 1987; Santos 2007. However, no phylogenetic analysis exists that includes a representatively wide range of genera. The clade Pisaurinae (see Sierwald 1997) appears to be well supported by morphological characters, while the relationships among non-pisaurine genera remain uncertain.
