“…This inventory revealed several new species, some of which have now been described ( Ruiz et al 2007 ; Brescovit et al 2008 ; Rodrigues et al 2008 ) or are under description. Prior to this study, only two species had been registered in Fernando de Noronha Island, Cheiracanthium inclusum ( Bonaldo and Brescovit 1992 ) and Umnara pydanieli ( Brescovit 1997 ).…”

Fernando de Noronha is an oceanic archipelago in Brazil that has been subjected to major alterations in its natural habitat, as it is exposed to increasing rates of tourism. This research aimed at performing the first survey of spider species on the main island, focusing on the environmental occupation and conservation status of local species. Spiders were sampled through pitfall traps, beating sheets, and active collection in the dry (October 2005) and rainy (April 2006) seasons in several parts of the island, such as urban and protected areas. A total of 1,532 adult spiders from 44 species distributed in 20 families were collected. Forty-two species are newly recorded on the archipelago, of which 10 appear to be native. Theridiidae and Salticidae were the richest families, with seven and five species respectively. Hogna sp., probably an endemic Lycosidae species, had the highest abundance throughout the study (17%). Several non-native species were found, especially in the surroundings of human habitations. Areas exposed to human settlements had higher diversity indices and evenness values when compared to preserved areas. Most species were classified as being diurnal space web-weavers. The results suggest that non-native species seemed to be established on the island, due mainly to the traffic of people and goods from the continent.

“…Reino: Animalia O macho e a fêmea de L. noronhensis analisados mediam, respectivamente, 1,32 e 1,47 mm. Ambos possuem a coloração de diferentes partes do corpo variando de amarelo-claro a marrom-escuro (Rodrigues et al, 2008). Lepthyphantes noronhensis é conhecida apenas para a sua localidade tipo, a Ilha Central do Arquipélago de Fernando de Noronha, Pernambuco (Rodrigues et al, 2008).…”

The spider family Linyphiidae is poorly known from many countries in South America, including Peru. In this paper wedescribe a new species of Asemostera Simon, 1898, Asemostera dianae new species, from Madre de Dios, the males ofMeioneta lauta Millidge, 1991 and Meioneta oculata Millidge, 1991, and the female of Myrmecomelix pulcher (Millidge,1991). New occurrence records for Peru include Exechopsis conspicua Millidge, 1991 (known from Brazil), andNovafrontina uncata (F. O. P.-Cambridge, 1902) (known from Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, and Venezuela). Newdistribution records within Peru for endemic species include Asemostera janetae Miller, 2007, Lygarina finitima Millidge,1991, Meioneta propinqua Millidge, 1991, Meioneta silvae Millidge, 1991 and Sphecozone niwina (Chamberlin, 1916).Illustrations are provided for Asemostera dianae new species and for the undescribed sexes of previously described taxa. Known distributional records are also provided for the above discussed taxa.
