Abstract: Introducción: Los arácnidos de la isla del Coco representan 50 especies, ubicadas en seis órdenes y 26 familias. El trabajo de actualización del conocimiento de la fauna de este grupo de animales en la isla inició no sistemáticamente hace más de 127 años, donde un escorpión se convirtió en el primer espécimen citado del grupo. Objetivo: Actualizar la lista de especies de arácnidos para la Isla del Coco, aportando nueva información sobre taxones poco conocidos y describiendo nuevas especies. Métodos: Durante do… Show more

“…Wind‐induced drag and electrostatic forces make it possible for the spiders to become airborne with their silk “kites”. This dispersal strategy may explain the presence of Ctenidae on oceanic islands far from the mainland, such as Cocos Island (about 550 km southwest of continental Costa Rica; Polotow and Brescovit, 2009a; Polotow and Brescovit, 2009b; Hazzi et al., 2013; Víquez, 2020) as well as their post‐Gondwana Pantropical distribution. Worldwide distribution patterns of Ctenidae driven by long‐distance dispersal are also congruent with those of other lycosoids, such as wolf spiders (Piacentini and Ramírez, 2019).…”

“…It is remarkable that the cloud forest appears as low as 450 m, which is only possible owing to a nearly constant cloud cover [52]. The logistic difficulties associated with the condition of isolation make the access to the island extremely challenging, therefore invertebrates have been poorly surveyed [53][54][55][56]. Indeed, the last published arachnid survey reported a total of only 50 species representing 26 families in six orders [57].…”
