Patrones zoogeográficos de los opiliones argentinos (Arachnida: Opiliones)

Abstract

This paper provides new data and an updated interpretation of the distribution patterns of Argentinian harvestmen, discussing and correcting the validity of previously accepted opiliological areas. Arguments supporting the division of the central-northeastern sector into five areas (Mesopotamic, Pampasic, Chacoan, Central Sierras and Yungas) are presented, each area being characterized through its typical or predominant taxa. The Yungas area is defined as an opiliogeographic unit, principally through the high diversity of the genus Pachyloides (Gonyleptidae). The probable meaning of several relics found in protected sites within the arid west region is discussed. The available evidence on harvestmen distribution, which suggests possible past expansions and retractions of humid environments, is analysed. A comparative table detailing the species richness in each area and familiar / subfamiliar taxon is also included.

Se presentan nuevos datos y una interpretación actualizada de los patrones de distribución de los opiliones argentinos, discutiendo y corrigiendo la validez de las áreas opiliológicas reconocidas con anterioridad. Se fundamenta la división del sector centronordeste en cinco áreas (mesopotámica, pampásica, chaqueña, central-serrana y de las yungas), caracterizando cada una de ellas según sus taxa propios o predominantes. El área de las yungas es definida como unidad opiliogeográfica, principalmente por la alta diversidad del género Pachyloides (Gonyleptidae). Se discute el posible significado de relictos presentes en el oeste árido. Finalmente, se analizan las evidencias disponibles en los patrones de distribución del orden, que sugieran posibles expansiones y retracciones de ambientes húmedos en el pasado. Se incluye un cuadro comparativo de la riqueza de especies por área y taxón familiar o subfamiliar.
