We present in the following an Errata Corrigenda for Abrantes et al. (2010) Table 2 and general counting. Furthermore, we include all additional records for Brazilian Collembola during 2010 and 2011 as an update for the species list. The update was made following the same methodology and criteria as Culik and Zeppelini (2003), and Abrantes et al. (2010). All data will fit the same table marked differently to be recognized at glance. The references presented here are restricted to the citations concerning the update only; therefore the references presented in Culik and Zeppelini (2003), and Abrantes et al. (2010) will not be repeated.
Abstract:A new species, Isotogastrura praiana sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on the specimens collected from Rio de Janeiro, Southeastern Brazil. The new species is more similar to Mexican Isotogastrura ahuizolti Palacios-Vargas & Thibaud with respect to presence of two pre labral microchaetae and six sensillae on fourth antennal segments. Diagnostic features of new species are absence of sensilla D and presence of sensilla E on fourth antennal segments, distributing dorsal tubercles from second thoracic segment to third abdominal segment and greyish body color.
We present new species and records of Poduromorpha for the Brazilian oceanic islands and synthesis of this order in Brazil. Friesea noronhaensis sp. nov., Friesea rochedoensis sp. nov., Willemia insularum sp. nov. and Paraxenylla zeliae sp. nov. are described and a diagnosis of the morphospecies Acherontiella sp. Lima and Zeppelini 2015 is provided. We present comparative tables, distribution and taxonomic keys of the Friesea, Arlesia, Brachystomella, Acherontiella, Paraxenylla, Xenylla, and Willemia found in the Brazilian oceanic islands and their respective congeners recorded in Brazil.
Poduromorpha order currently includes 11 families, 330 genera, and approximately 3.400 species, which are widely distributed. In Brazil, there are seven families, 48 genera, and 141 species, 74 of which occur in Rio de Janeiro State. Poduromorpha fauna has been investigated over the last years, especially those from the Brazilian southeastern region. The objective of the present work was to gather and expand information on Poduromorpha in Rio de Janeiro State from literature, data from Scientific Collections, dissertations, theses, and congress communications. As a result, 40 genera and 81 species have been recorded, five of which having been registered for the first time in Rio de Janeiro State.
Knowledge on Poduromorpha fauna from the littoral of Rio de Janeiro mainly come from studies conducted in “restinga” areas of Itaipuaçu, Maricá, and Marambaia. In this study two “restinga” areas were sampled for the first time to increase the taxonomic knowledge of Poduromorpha in littoral areas of Rio de Janeiro: Costa do Sol State Park and Restinga de Jurubatiba National Park, located respectively at Lake Region (“região dos lagos”) and at northern Rio de Janeiro State. The analysis of the material showed the presence of six families, 14 genera and 20 species. All records are new for both areas; Neanuridae had the highest diversity, with seven genera and 10 species. One of them, Paleonura Cassagnau, 1982, was registered for the first time in the littoral of Rio de Janeiro. A key was proposed for the Poduromorpha genera found in the littoral of Rio de Janeiro.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
