Description of Mitogoniella mucuri sp. nov. (Opiliones: Gonyleptidae) and considerations on polymorphic traits in the genus and Gonyleptidae

“…Gonyleptidae is the largest family of the opilionid suborder Laniatores, with 16 subfamilies and 829 species (Kury & Pinto-da-Rocha 2007;Kury 2013). The subfamily Goniosomatinae is composed of six genera and 36 species, all of them possessing armed and strong pedipalps, large bodies, varied and conspicuous coloration and, usually, very long legs (some more than 20 centimeters) (DaSilva & Gnaspini 2010).…”

“…Kury (2011) estimated 6,519 species, including †35 species. The current estimate is based on Kury (2013). It should be noted that Dunlop et al (2013) listed 34 valid species of fossil harvestman.…”

“…Also after the publication of the volume, we received comments on errors and proposal for new contributions on some taxa. In this volume, two new chapters were added (Order Hymenoptera by Aguiar et al 2013 and Order Odonata by Dijkstra et al 2013) and four chapters in Zhang (2011b) were updated with new diversity estimates (Order Opiliones by Kury 2013, Order Pseudoscorpiones by Harvey 2013, Order Thysanoptera by , Order Blattodea by Beccaloni & Eggleton 2013). For arthropod taxa without new chapters or updates in this volume, diversity estimates in were updated using recent papers, books and also databases, especially the Metrics function at http://www.organismnames.com/ where the option "Graphs of new taxa over time" was used to check new species-level taxa described in recent years (ie.…”

New records of Acritas bilineatus S&oslash;rensen, 1932 (Arachnida, Opiliones, Cosmetidae) in Venezuela

“…Koch, 1839 is the second most diverse in the suborder Laniatores, with about 126 genera and 719 species (Kury 2013). Acritas bilineatus Sørensen, 1932, the only species of Acritas Sørensen, 1932, is hitherto known to inhabit the northern lowlands of Venezuela, in Carabobo and Lara states (Kury 2003).…”
