“…The addition of five new syarinids represents the first pseudoscorpion descriptions for mainland Ecuador for more than a decade (Mahnert & Schmidl 2011). In general, pseudoscorpion taxonomy in tropical South America is often poor and comprehensive studies are only available for Brazil (e.g., Mahnert 1979Mahnert , 1985Adis & Mahnert 1985;Mahnert et al 1986;Adis et al 1988;Morais et al 1997), although there have been some recent studies on the Colombian fauna (e.g., Torres & Bedoya Roqueme 2018;Bedoya Roqueme 2019;Romero-Ortiz et al 2019) but none for Peru. All of these rely exclusively on somatic morphology.…”

The pseudoscorpion (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones) fauna of mainland Ecuador, excluding the Galápagos Islands, is poorly known, with only 41 described species in 9 families. The family Syarinidae has a pantropical distribution and presently comprises ca 120 species in 17 valid genera that are found in leaf litter and subterranean habitats, mostly in tropical and subtropical climates. Four syarinid species have been recorded from Ecuador, including the Galápagos, in two widespread genera, Ideobisium and Ideoblothrus, but field collections suggest that these pseudoscorpions are common and abundant in all forest systems across the country. Here, we review field collections of syarinids from mainland Ecuador and describe five new species in these genera: Ideobisium kichwa sp. nov. (Napo Province, Colonso Chalupas Natural Reserve), I. sonqo sp. nov. (Napo Province, Colonso Chalupas Natural Reserve), I. susanae sp. nov. (Napo Province, Jatun Sacha Natural Reserve), Ideoblothrus nadineae sp. nov. (Napo Province, Colonso Chalupas Natural Reserve) and I. safinai sp. nov. (Pichincha Province, Otongachi Natural Reserve) based on morphology. These species seem to have narrow distributions and we therefore restrict the ranges of two species previously recorded from Ecuador (Ideobisium crassimanum Balzan, 1892 and Ideoblothrus costaricensis (Beier, 1931)) to their countries of origin, which is Costa Rica and Venezuela, respectively.

“…Considering the varied habitats across the country, some authors have suggested a close relationship of the pseudoscorpion abundance with the vegetal complexity structure of these habitats (Weygoldt 1969;Gabbutt 1970;Morais et al 1997;Aguiar et al 2006). Pseudoscorpions also occupy one or more specific microhabitats (Battirola et al 2017;Torres and Bedoya-Roqueme 2018).…”

In the course of ongoing research on the pseudoscorpion fauna in the northeastern region of Brazil, we compiled nine pseudoscorpion species with three of them, Geogarypus amazonicus, Apolpium ecuadorense, and Pachyolpium furculiferum, recorded for the first time from the Caatinga biome. Ecological comments are included, and the presence of G. amazonicus is discussed. Additionally, an updated checklist of all pseudoscorpion species and a map of the distribution of species richness for all biomes of Brazil are presented.
