Insect (Hexapoda) diversity in the oceanic archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil: updated taxonomic checklist and new records

“…Two species were described from local specimens and three species are here recorded for the first time. The checklist is based on Lima and Zeppelini (2015), however, some confusion has been observed and some taxonomic updates are necessary. Three genera were previously misidentified (Lima and Zeppelini, 2015) and they are being excluded from the Fernando de Noronha record, namely Cryptopygus Willem, 1901, Desoria Agassiz & Mayer, 1841and Lepidonella Yosii, 1960.…”

“…Remarks. Identified to genus level based on a species soon to be described (Lima and Zeppelini, 2015).…”

“…Isotogastrura mucrospatulata Palacios-Vargas, Lima & Zeppelini, 2013* Isotogastrura mucrospatulata: Lima and Zeppelini (2015).…”

“…Megalothorax laevis Denis, 1948, new record Megalothorax minimus: Lima and Zeppelini (2015). Remarks.…”

“…Mesquita and Matteo (1991) reported four species of Odonata, two as first records, and Carbonell (1996) described one species of Orthoptera. After the year 2000, there were several papers related to hexapods in the Fernando de Noronha archipelago: Couri et al (2008), Oliveira et al (2009Oliveira et al ( , 2010, Rohde et al (2010) and Vasconcelos (2014, 2016) on Diptera; Abrantes et al (2010), Palácios-Vargas et al (2013), Lima and Zeppelini (2015), Zeppelini and Oliveira (2016), Brito et al (2017), Schneider et al (2018) and Cipola et al (2019Cipola et al ( , 2020 on Collembola; and Ribeiro and Lima (2015) on Hymenoptera.…”
