Abstract
Eight species in the family Scleropactidae are recorded from Venezuela. Three species are described as new: Colomboscia venezuelana n. sp. from the departments of Aragua and Miranda, Globopactes cristalinae n. sp. from the department of Trujillo, and Globopactes mucuyensis n. sp. from the department of Mérida. Globopactes senex and Neosanfilippia venezuelana have their distribution extended to the departments of Aragua and Carabobo, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Tropical Zoology is an international zoological journal publishing original papers in the field of systematics, biogeography, phylogeny, ecology and conservation of all terrestrial and aquatic animal Phyla from tropical and subtropical areas.
Only papers with new information, high quality and broad interest are considered. Single species description and checklists are not normally accepted. Review papers are welcome. The journal is owned by the Istituto di Ricerca sugli Ecosistemi Terrestri of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Florence, Italy (CNR-IRET) who performs research into the structure and functioning of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, focusing in particular on anthropogenic pressure and global change. The knowledge amassed forms the scientific basis for identifying the most appropriate protective and corrective interventions, and provides support for the bodies entrusted with formulating policies for environmental protection and recovery.
