Hanseniella arborea n. sp., a migrating symphylan from an Amazonian blackwater inundation forest (Myriapoda, Symphyla, Scutigerellidae)

Abstract

ResumoMais de 800 espécimes de Sinfilas migradoras (Myriapoda, Symphyl:l, Scutigerellidae) foram coletados em uma floresta inundado do rio Tarumã-Mirim, perto de Manaus no Brasil. Eles pertencem a uma nova espécie, Hanseniella arborea, a qual é dP-l'crita neste trabalho. O material foi colhido da migração para o pavilhão, antes da inundação. Todas os espécimes foram coletados com fotoecletores arboreais colocados numa altura de 3,60m acima do solo.

Occurrence of Symphyla (Myriapoda) in the region of the Upper Solimões River, Amazonas, Brazil

“…Among the five species already recorded by other authors in Amazonia, three were encountered in the study area at the Upper Solimões River: Hanseniella arborea Scheller, 1979;Hanseniella orientalis (Hansen, 1903) (Scutigerellidae); and Symphylella adisi Scheller, 1993 (Scolopendrellidae) ( Table 1).…”

“…Although it was not found in pastures (Table 1), former records show the presence of this species in primary non-flooded upland forests, "campinarana" forests, floodplain forests (white water) and "igapó" (black water) (Scheller & Adis, 2002). In floodplain forests, H. arborea adults were collected at the height of 3.6 m in tree trunks of the black-water region of Tarumã Mirim, Amazonas, where they survive the flooding period of 5-7 months (Scheller, 1979;Adis & Scheller, 1984).…”

“…The Symphyla were extracted using Berlese-Tullgren funnels (Franklin & Morais, 2006;Karyanto et al, 2008;Morais & Franklin, 2008) and preserved in 70% alcohol. Keys of Scheller (1979) and Scheller & Adis (2002) were used to identify the specimens collected.…”

“…In Amazonia, few studies on symphylans have been undertaken, and these have focused mostly on forest systems of Central Amazonia, close to Manaus (Scheller, 1979;Scheller, 1992;Scheller & Adis, 1996;Adis et al, 1997). Among the 200 species recognized, only four genera and five species have been recorded in Amazonia (Scheller & Adis, 2002).…”
