A Checklist and Bibliography of the Iapygoidea (Insecta: Diplura) of South America

Contents: Abstract -- Abbreviations -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Annotated List of Species -- Locality List -- BibiliographyComplete records, synonymies, and bibliographic citations are given for the 61 species and seven varieties of iapygoid diplurans described from South America. Also included are all published records for species determined only to the generic level. The South American fauna includes representatives of the families lapygidae, Dinjapygidae, and Parajapygidae. The original spellings of the genus Iapyx and the family-group name Iapygidae are used in preference to Japyx and Japygidae to comply with the Rule of Priority. Typhlolabia Scudder is resurrected to include the following species previously included in Teljapyx Silvestri: T. bidentatus (Schaffer), T. costala (Gonzalez and Smith), T. hirsuta (Gonzalez and Smith), T. larva (Philippi) (type-species), T. megalocera (Silvestri), T. profunda (Smith), T. riestrae (Silvestri), and T. talcae (Smith).Texas Memorial Museu

Redescription of Schizomus crassicaudatus (Pickard-Cambridge) and Diagnoses of Hubbardia cook, Stenochrus chamberlin, and Sotanostenochrus new genus, with Description of a New Species of Hubbardia from California (Arachnida: Schizomida: Hubbardiidae)

Schizomus crassicaudatus from Sri Lanka is redescribed from the type series, and lectotypes of Nyctalops crassicaudata and N. Tenuicaudata are designed. Hubbardia Cook, previously considered a synonym of Schizomus Cook, is considered valid and rediagnosed to include species from California and Arizona. The family Hubbardiidae Cook has priority and therefore is used rather than Schizomidae Hansen and Sorensen. Additional descriptive notes and records are provided and a lectotypes is designated for Hubbardia pentapeltis Cook. Hubbardia idria new species is described from San Benito County, California. Additional records are included for H. briggsi. A key for identification of males of Hubbardia is presented. The native (introduced elsewhere) North and Central American genus Stenochrus Chamberlin is rediagnosed for most species of the Schizomus mexicanus, pecki, and goodnightorum groups. Sotanostenochrus, new genus, is described for Schizomus mitchelli Rowland, and Schizomus cookei Rowland and is known only from caves in San Luis Potosi and Tamaulipas, Mexico.Texas Memorial Museu

Thysanuran

8 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.Includes bibliographical references (p. 8)."The troglobitic thysanuran described from Ezell's cave in Texas as Nicoletia texensis by Ulrich in 1902 is redescribed in detail and a new genus, Texoreddellia, is erected for it. This thysanuran is now known to occur in a large number of caves in central Texas and the adjacent Edwards Plateau. Populations from different caves vary in some cases in quantitative characters, mainly the degree of elongation of the body and appendages"--P. [1]

The cave fauna of Texas with special reference to the western Edwards Plateau

Stejneger\u27s 1896 description of Typhlomolge rathbuni, the Texas blind salamander, from the artesian well in San Marcos, inspired several important studies of the cave and phreatic fauna of the San Marcos area. Additional random collections in Texas resulted in the discovery of several additional troglobites and troglophiles of interest. No systematic survey of the cave fauna of the state, however, existed prior to the formation of the Texas Speleological Survey (TSS) in 1961. The TSS began an active program of collection in all caves visited, with several trips specifically designed to sample cave fauna. The early results of these studies were published by Reddell (1965, 1966, 1967
