Overview

Taxonomic catalogues are indispensable volumes for taxonomists and many biodiversity researchers. These compendia allow researchers to access accurate compilations of the literature and of valid named taxa that are currently recognised. This landmark catalogue treats in detail six arachnid orders found throughout the world, providing full bibliographic data on all taxa named thus far. Information provided for each species includes the type locality and a summary (by country) of its known distribution. The catalogue also covers the named fossil fauna. To date, three other arachnid orders have been completely catalogued (pseudoscorpions, scorpions and spiders). This volume will complement these other published catalogues and will contribute greatly towards documenting the total biodiversity of much of the arachnid fauna of the world.

Mark Harvey s Catalogue of the Smaller Arachnid Orders of the World is an invaluable resource for arachnid systematics which complements the existing catalogues for spiders, scorpions and pseudoscorpions. This comprehensive work is produced to the highest standards and provides a complete and up-to-date list of valid names, citations, synonyms and homonyms for the less familiar arachnid groups. It will clearly be of major benefit to those working on arachnid taxonomy and should prove a major stimulus to further work on the systematics of these often neglected animals.

. . . it is an essential addition to the library of all arachnologists. It will also be invaluable to those involved in biodiversity studies worldwide by clarifying the current taxonomic position of these important arthropod taxa and providing a reliable bibliographic resource.
