Abstract
The Armadillidae are the most diverse family within the Oniscidea, widely distributed around the world. To date, only seven species of the family are known from Colombia. After the examination of a collection from the Colombian departments of Atlántico, Bolívar, Cesar, Magdalena, Risaralda, Santander, and Sucre, eight species were recognized as belonging to the genus Ctenorillo, of which six are considered to be new to Science: C. binomio n. sp., C. humboldti n. sp., C. mincaensis n. sp., C. orientalis n. sp., C. papagayoensis n. sp., and C. tayrona n. sp. Moreover, the distribution knowledge of C. dazai and C. tuberosus has expanded. Ctenorillo species in Colombia are predominantly distributed in Tropical Dry Forest areas, which is one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world. Considering the new taxa presented here, allied with other Oniscidea groups, there is an urgent need to raise the awareness level regarding the conservation status of this ecosystem in the country.
犰狳科是食蚁目中种类最多的科,广泛分布于世界各地。迄今为止,哥伦比亚仅有 7 个犰狳科物种。在对来自哥伦比亚大西洋省、玻利瓦尔省、塞萨尔省、马格达莱纳省、里萨拉尔达省、桑坦德省和苏克雷省的采集物进行研究后,有 8 个物种被认定属于栉水母属,其中 6 个物种被认为是科学界的新发现:C. binomio n. sp.、C. humboldti n. sp.、C. mincaensis n. sp.、C. orientalis n. sp.、C. papagayoensis n. sp.和 C. tayrona n. sp.。此外,C. dazai 和 C. tuberosus 的分布范围也有所扩大。哥伦比亚的Ctenorillo物种主要分布在热带干旱森林地区,这是世界上最濒危的生态系统之一。考虑到这里介绍的新分类群与其他Oniscidea类群的联系,迫切需要提高人们对该国这一生态系统保护状况的认识水平。
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.
