B Corresponding author. gnaspini@ib.usp.br Abstract. Goniosomatine harvestmen have strongly armed pedipalps, generally large bodies and, commonly, very long legs (sometimes more than 20 cm), and are distributed in the Brazilian Atlantic forest, from southern Bahia to Santa Catarina. Since they are conspicuous animals and individuals of some species tend to concentrate in caves (and also under rock boulders), they have been (and still are) the target of several studies, especially those focusing on reproductive and defensive behavior, population ecology, physiology, chromosomes, etc. In spite of their importance for biological studies (some species constitute important and frequently used models for these studies), the taxonomy of Goniosomatinae has faced some problems, including misidentification, a large number of undescribed species and the lack of a phylogenetic hypothesis for the relationships among its species (which would allow evolutionary studies to be made). The last taxonomic changes in the subfamily were made 60 years ago. Considering a taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of the subfamily to be of paramount importance, the main scope of the present paper is to provide a cladistic analysis and taxonomic revision of the species of Goniosomatinae and a new arrangement of genera (and species). The main taxonomic changes are given as follows. Six genera are recognised within the subfamily: Goniosoma; the newly described genus Pyatan; the reestablished genera Serracutisoma, Heteromitobates and Mitogoniella; and Acutisoma. New generic synonyms include: Glyptogoniosoma = Goniosomella = Lyogoniosoma = Metalyogoniosoma = Xulapona = Goniosoma, Acutisomelloides = Pygosomoides = Spelaeosoma = Serracutisoma; and Acutisomella = Heteromitobates. Newly described species include: Goniosoma capixaba; G. apoain; Pyatan insperatum DaSilva, Stefanini-Jim & Gnaspini; Serracutisoma pseudovarium; S. fritzmuelleri; S. guaricana; Heteromitobates anarchus; H. harlequin; H. alienus; Mitogoniella taquara; M. unicornis; and Acutisoma coriaceum. New combinations include: Goniosoma macracanthum (Mello-Leitão, 1922); G. unicolor (Mello-Leitão, 1932); G. carum (Mello-Leitão, 1936); Serracutisoma proximum (Mello-Leitão, 1922); S. banhadoae (Soares & Soares, 1947); S. molle (Mello-Leitão, 1933); S. thalassinum (Simon, 1879); S. catarina (Machado, Pinto-da-Rocha & Ramires, 2002); S. inerme (Mello-Leitão, 1927); S. spelaeum (Mello- Leitão, 1933); Heteromitobates inscriptus (Mello-Leitão, 1922); H. albiscriptus (Mello-Leitão, 1932); Mitogoniella modesta (Perty, 1833); and M. badia (Koch, 1839). Reestablished combinations include: Mitogoniella indistincta Mello- Leitão, 1936 and Acutisoma longipes Roewer, New specific synonyms include: Acutisomella cryptoleuca = Acutisomella intermedia = Goniosoma junceum = Goniosoma patruele = Goniosoma xanthophthalmum = Metalyogoniosoma unum = Goniosoma varium, Goniosoma geniculatum = Goniosoma venustum; Goniosomella perlata = Progoniosoma minense = Goniosoma vatrax, Glyptogoniosoma perditum = Progoniosoma cruciferum = Progoniosoma tijuca = Goniosoma dentipes; Leitaoius iguapensis = Leitaoius viridifrons = Serracutisoma proximum; Acutisoma marumbicola = Acutisoma patens = Serracutisoma thalassinum; Progoniosoma tetrasetae = Serracutisoma inerme; and Acutisoma monticola = Leitaoius nitidissimus = Leitaoius xanthomus = Mitogoniella mutila = Acutisoma longipes. The following species are considered species inquirenda: Goniosoma lepidum Gervais, 1844; G. monacanthum Gervais, 1844; G. obscurum Perty, 1833; G. versicolor Perty, 1833; and Mitogoniella badia (Koch, 1839). The monotypic genus Goniosomoides Mello-Leitão, 1932 (and its species, G. viridans Mello-Leitão, 1932) is removed from Goniosomatinae and considered incertae sedis. Introduction The systematics of Neotropical Opiliones was established mainly by the works by Roewer (e.g. 1913, 1923, 1930) and Mello-Leitão (e.g. 1923, 1932) during the early 20th century. In the Roewerian system, some characters were arbitrarily selected to establish the different families, another arbitrary set of characters was used to establish subfamilies and yet another to establish genera and species, creating a closed system. This system yielded a confusing and subjective taxonomy, with a large number of species and genera, most of them monotypic Ó CSIRO /IS /09/060530

2 Systematic revision of goniosomatine harvestmen Invertebrate Systematics 531 (Kury 1990; Pinto-da-Rocha 1997, 2002). From the 1940s that scenario began to change with the works by Soares and Soares (e.g. 1948), with an extensive number of synonyms established, and an important effort to reorganise the systematics of harvestmen (mainly the Neotropical ones). Only recently, in a combined effort to reorganise the knowledge on the taxonomy and evolution of Neotropical harvestmen, a larger number of taxonomic revisions, mainly based on cladistic analyses, have appeared at different taxonomic levels (e.g. Pinto-da-Rocha 1997, Stygnidae; Pinto-da-Rocha 2002, Gonyleptidae Caelopyginae; Tourinho and Kury 2003, Sclerosomatidae [Eupnoi] genus Jussara; and several unpublished M.Sc. and Ph.D. Theses). The Atlantic rainforest (which includes forested areas located in the eastern to south-eastern coast of Brazil) harbours the highest diversity of harvestmen in the world, with about 600 described species (Pinto-da-Rocha et al. 2005). Almost all of this richness is represented by species of the large family Gonyleptidae (with about 830 species Kury 2003 and some descriptions published afterwards), which is organised in 16 subfamilies, of which nine are exclusive of this biome. In addition, most of these species show a high degree of endemism, with distributions mostly related to only one or a few mountain ranges or valleys. These characteristics make harvestmen a good model for historical biogeographical studies (e.g. Pintoda-Rocha et al. 2005). One of these endemic subfamilies is Goniosomatinae (with 46 species recorded before the previous study Kury 2003). Goniosomatinae include harvestmen with strongly armed pedipalps, generally with large bodies, and many of them with very long legs (sometimes more than 20 cm for example, see Gnaspini 1999), distributed in the Brazilian Atlantic forest, from southern Bahia to Santa Catarina. Since they are conspicuous animals and individuals of some species tend to concentrate inside caves (and also under boulders), they have been the target of several studies, especially those focusing on reproductive and defensive behavior, population ecology, physiology, chromosomes, etc. (e.g. Gnaspini 1995, 1996; Gnaspini and Cavalheiro 1998; Machado and Oliveira 1998; Gnaspini et al. 2003; Willemart and Gnaspini 2004a, 2004b; Ferreira et al. 2005; Oliveira et al. 2006). They have also provided important biogeographical information for historical area relationships (Pinto-da-Rocha et al. 2005). In despite of its importance for biological studies, the taxonomy of Goniosomatinae has faced some problems, including misidentification, a large number of undescribed species and the lack of a phylogenetic hypothesis for the relationship among its species (which would allow evolutionary studies to be made). The last major taxonomic changes made in the subfamily were those by Soares and Soares (1948) and, more recently, the transference of Microgoniosoma to Pachylinae (as a junior synonym of Discocyrtus Ringuelet 1954) and the transfer of Heteromitobates from Mitobatinae by Kury (2003). A first revision concerning the subfamily was prepared by Stefanini-Jim (1985, 1995) in her M.Sc. and Ph.D. theses, which remain unpublished. Since several species of the subfamily are still the focus of, and constitute important models for, several biological studies, a taxonomic revision and cladistic analysis of the subfamily were considered to be of paramount importance. Therefore, the main scope of the present paper is to provide a cladistic hypothesis of relationships and a taxonomic revision of the species of Goniosomatinae. Goniosomatinae a brief historical and taxonomic review Mello-Leitão (1935a) established the subfamily Goniosominae with 13 genera (previously included in Gonyleptinae): Goniosoma Perty, 1832; Progoniosoma Roewer, 1913; Acutisoma Roewer, 1913; Lyogoniosoma Mello-Leitão, 1926; Leitaoius Roewer, 1930; Acutisomella Roewer, 1930; Serracutisoma Roewer, 1930; Microgoniosoma Mello-Leitão, 1930; Glyptogoniosoma Mello-Leitão, 1932; Acutisomelloides Mello-Leitão, 1932; Goniosomoides Mello-Leitão, 1932; Spelaeosoma Mello-Leitão, 1933; and Pygosomoides Mello- Leitão, Four genera were included afterwards: Xulapona Mello-Leitão, 1936; Goniosomella Mello-Leitão, 1936; Mitogoniella Mello-Leitão, 1936; and Metalyogoniosoma Soares & Soares, Many of the genera were monotypic. Three main synonyms were proposed by B. Soares (1944a) and Soares and Soares (1948), reducing 14 genera to three: Acutisoma (= Leitaoius = Acutisomella = Serracutisoma = Glyptogoniosoma = Acutisomelloides = Pygosomoides = Mitogoniella); Goniosoma (= Progoniosoma = Spelaeosoma); and Lyogoniosoma (= Goniosomella = Xulapona). Therefore, in their large monographic work about Neotropical harvestmen, Soares and Soares (1948) included only six genera in the subfamily: Acutisoma (20 species), Goniosoma (18 species), Goniosomoides (monotypic), Lyogoniosoma (3 species), Metalyogoniosoma (monotypic) and Microgoniosoma (monotypic). Since its species Microgoniosoma fuscum Mello-Leitão, 1930 was recognised as a junior synonym of Discocyrtus testudineus (Holmberg, 1876) by Ringuelet (1954), Microgoniosoma is presently placed in Pachylinae as a junior synonym of Discocyrtus Holmberg, In addition, the following two genera were once included in Goniosomatinae and afterwards transferred to another subfamily. Cadeadoius Mello-Leitão, 1936 was described in Goniosomatinae and is presently placed in Progonyleptoidellinae (by Soares and Soares 1985). Metagoniosoma Roewer, 1917 was described in Gonyleptinae, transferred to Goniosomatinae by Mello-Leitão (1935b), back to Gonyleptinae by B. Soares (1944c) and is presently considered a junior synonym of Gonyleptes Kirby, 1818 (by Kury 2003). Stefanini-Jim (1985) made an important historical review and reorganisation of species within the subfamily, and corrected the subfamily name from Goniosominae to Goniosomatinae. She also discussed that the inclusion of species in genera seemed artificial. In her unpublished theses, Stefanini-Jim (1985, 1995) proposed the synonymisation of all genera in a single genus, Goniosoma Perty, 1833, and several synonyms among species, one of the largest cases being the synonymisation of almost all species from Santa Catarina and Paraná with Goniosoma badium Koch, 1839 (which has been already discussed by Gnaspini 1993, 1999). Her proposed synonyms were made by especially considering the resemblance of genitalic characters, and generally disregarding morphological and colour pattern differences. Although not

3 532 Invertebrate Systematics M. B. DaSilva and P. Gnaspini published, her taxonomic changes have been largely used so far (based both on identifications made by that author or by other authors using her 1985 thesis), especially the use of Goniosoma as the single genus in the subfamily (e.g. Pinto-da- Rocha 1993; Gnaspini and Trajano 1994). The main historical steps in the taxonomy of Goniosomatinae can be summarised as follows: XIX century 16 species described in the genus Goniosoma type species: G. varium Perty, Beginning of XX century Roewerian era large number of descriptions (6 genera and 6 species described by Roewer, 8 genera and 25 species by Mello-Leitão and 2 species by Piza) Goniosomatinae Mello-Leitão, to genera and 49 species Soares and Soares several synonyms 6 genera and 41 species + 3 new species Stefanini-Jim (unpublished) 1 genus and 25 species + 1 new species. Present study 6 genera and 25 species + 11 new species. Methods Material studied We studied material (including undetermined specimens and types) especially from the following Brazilian collections: Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZSP); Museu Nacional da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (MNRJ); collection H. E. M. Soares (HS) (presently in MNRJ) and Instituto Butantan (IBSP); and specimens collected during the present study. In addition, we also examined types and other material from the following collections: Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique, Brussels, Belgium (ISNB); Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, Austria (NHMW); Museum für Naturkunde-Universität zu Berlin, Germany (ZMHB); Forschungsinstitut und Naturmuseum Senkenberg, Frankfurt, Germany (SMF); collection C.

Goniosoma lepidum Gervais, 1844, G. monacanthum Gervais, 1844 and G. obscurum Perty, 1832 types are lost (after Soares and Soares 1948). Goniosoma albiscriptum Mello-Leitão, 1932, G. badium Koch, 1839, G. dentipes Koch, 1839, G. junceum Perty, 1832, G. patruele Perty, 1832, G. roridum Perty, 1832, G. versicolor Perty, 1832, Goniosomella perlata Mello-Leitão, 1936, Glyptogoniosoma unicolor Mello-Leitão, 1932, Leitaoius ornatus Mello-Leitão, 1934 and L. viridifrons Mello- Leitão, 1935 types are probably lost (we were not able to find them, and some were not deposited in the collection mentioned in the original or subsequent description). Acutisoma inerme Mello-Leitão, 1927, A. marumbicola H. Soares, 1945, Acutisomella cryptoleuca Mello-Leitão, 1940, Acutisomella intermedia Mello-Leitão, 1937, Goniosoma geniculatum Mello-Leitão, 1931, G. xanthophthalmum Mello-Leitão, 1931, Leitaoius iguapensis Piza, 1938, L. guttulatus Mello-Leitão, 1934, L. xanthomus Mello-Leitão, 1935, Mitogoniella mutila Piza, 1938, Progoniosoma cruciferum Mello-Leitão, 1923, P. macracanthum Mello-Leitão, 1922 and P. minense Mello-Leitão, 1932 this material was examined by R. Stefanini-Jim (1985) but could not be located; it may have possibly been taken with the HS collection to the MNRJ and should be checked in the future. Acutisoma acutangulum and A. thalassinum are presently deposited at Muséum National d histoire Naturelle, Paris, France (MNHN), but were not lent for study. Dr. A. Muñoz-Cuevas provided photographs of A. acutangulum. The monotypic genus Goniosomoides Mello-Leitão, 1932 (and its species, Goniosomoides viridans Mello-Leitão, 1932) is removed from Goniosomatinae in the present study and considered incertae sedis. Based on the analysis of the original description, we concluded that it does not belong in Goniosomatinae. However, since the type could not be examined and the illustration does not allow a precise identification, we could not precisely place the species, although it seems to belong either in Caelopyginae or Progonyleptoidellinae. Aiming at completeness of information, we provide below a list of species that were described in Goniosoma (or described in Ancistrotus and transferred to Goniosoma in this case they are marked with *) and afterwards transferred to other genera; which mostly happened before Goniosomatinae was erected. We indicate under comb. (or syn., where the case is a synonymy) the author responsible for the transference to the genera where the species is presently placed and, if not the same, we indicate under transf. the author responsible for the first transference from Goniosoma. Since these species belong to genera presently placed in other subfamilies or even families, they were not examined during the present study. Metamitobates squalidus (Perty, 1832) transf.

Observation and illustration External characters were studied under a stereomicroscope and the male genitalia and some other details were studied under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). To prepare the genitalia for the SEM analysis, we used the procedure described by Pinto-da-Rocha (2002), but we dried the material using a Critical Point Dryer BAL-TEC CPD 030 (Bal-Tec A.G., Balzers, Liechtenstein). Body and appendage measurements were taken using a caliper and measurements of granules were made under the stereomicroscope. Terminology In the present study, we followed traditional names for general morphology and description schemes used by previous studies, especially on laniatoreans (e.g. Pinto-da-Rocha 1997, 2002; Shultz and Pinto-da-Rocha 2007). However, since there are different specifications of terms usually adopted among harvestman researchers, and since armature and body ornamentation are important for the establishment of species and genera, we present the terms as they are used herein. granule = short elevation (height = diameter) usually present in large numbers in the same structure covering it rather homogeneously (see Figs 1 5, 58, 86). tubercle = blunt elevation somewhat taller than granules when compared on the same structure (see Figs 27, 58, 59). spine = pointed elevation generally taller than tubercles (see Figs 31, 55, 83). apophysis = irregularly shaped structure, generally larger than those above, which occurs only at coxa, trochanter and apex of the femur of the appendages (see Figs 12, 58). Considering these elevations, a structure may be: armed = with spines. unarmed = without spines, but may present granules or tubercles. smooth = without granules, tubercles or spines. Please note that setae and apophyses are not considered in this classification. Therefore, for instance, a coxa may be described as smooth but it will always carry apophyses. In each leg, six rows of spines/tubercles can be recognised (Fig. 10), and were named as follows (using the femur as an example): row1 = dorsal retrolateral row, starting near the tooth of the articulation between trochanter and femur and ending near the retrolateral apical apophysis; row2 = retrolateral row, ending near the articulation between femur and patella; row3 and row4 = respectively ventral retrolateral and ventral prolateral rows, ending at the ventral membrane of articulation between femur and patella; row5 = prolateral row; and row6 = dorsal prolateral row, ending near the prolateral apical apophysis. Granules In some structures, the distribution of granules represents one of the most important characters for taxonomic recognition and phylogenetic inference. The shape of granules usually varies independently among different subareas of the same body region. For instance, the dorsal scute may bear small granules whereas its posterior margin may present large ones. Therefore, granulation was analysed considering the most possible number of units of the body, and the combination of the description of the granulation in each unit would result in an adequate diagnostic feature for the whole body. The most important areas analysed under a granulation perspective and used both in the taxonomic and phylogenetic sections were: the dorsal scute areas, central area of the carapace (defined by sulcus I), lateral margin of the dorsal scute, posterior margin of the dorsal scute + free tergites, posterior margin of the stigmatic area + free sternites and the ventral surface of coxae IV. Two independent features were noted: number and size of granules. Concerning number, the exact number of granules on the dorsal scute areas and on the central area of the carapace were counted, since they are easily observed, and this number may be used for species recognition. For the other regions, we estimated the density of granules in three levels: low, medium and high. For rows of granules (common on margins and on the free tergites and sternites), we considered density to be low when we detected up to 2 granules per mm, medium for 2 4 granules per mm and high for 4 or more granules per mm. For areas (as in coxae IV), we considered density low when we detected up to 4 granules per mm 2, medium for 4 8 granules per mm 2 and high for 8 or more granules per mm 2. Concerning size, we recognised five levels: minute, small, medium, large, and very large, respectively presented in Figs 1 5. Pedipalp For ornamentation of femur, tibia and tarsus of pedipalps, we followed Pinto-da-Rocha (2002): in tibia and tarsus, I designates high spines and i designates short spines (height equal or less than half of the highest spine in the article); in femur, I designates spines and tubercles and i designates short tubercles (same as above). However, since the armature is more complex in Goniosomatinae than among Caelopyginae, we included the size of the base of the spines (in tibia and tarsus) in our measurements, contrary to Pinto-da- Rocha (2002), who used only the size of the setae. Since the total number of spines and tubercles is similar among the species, the character that will discriminate among them is the number of I s in femur (as in character 72). Since some granules, tubercles and/or spines may be absent in some individuals of the same

Scale = 0.05 mm. species, we describe a general armature pattern using those structures that appear in at least half of the individuals analysed. Colour We recognised three factors that determine the general colour pattern (the epidermic pigmentation below the cuticle, the cuticle itself (which varies between green and brown) and the white dry-mark, but only the last two were used in our cladistic analysis. Epidermic pigmentation varies largely in distribution and density among individuals (Figs 193, 209, 212, 224, 228). It is frequently associated to the areas of the dorsal scute, and, as a consequence, the depression between areas and the longitudinal medial line appear completely depigmented. It is also common to observe a lack of pigments forming a characteristic pattern behind the ocularium, with the area ahead of the ocularium showing a large amount of pigments, frequently becoming blackish. We here use the drymark, a term defined by A.B. Kury (pers. comm.) for a patch in the more external serose layer of the cuticle that forms white drawings in the animal (Fig. 190) when it dries up when removed from liquid. On the dorsal scute, it is generally associated with the depigmented lines. Since there is a typical combination between the epidermic pigmentation and the dry-mark, generally forming a striped area behind the ocularium, this pattern will not be repeatedly described, and it will be herein named mask (Figs 190, 193, 212, 224, 228). Cladistic analysis We used, as our ingroup, 36 species recognised as belonging to Goniosomatinae. The names used herein already take into account the resulting cladogram and the new taxonomic scheme resulting from the cladistic analysis and from the synonyms recognised during the present study. The taxonomic changes are presented under Taxonomy, ahead in this paper. As outgroups, we used 11 species from 7 subfamilies of Gonyleptidae: Discocyrtus invalidus Piza, 1938 and Roeweria

We used characters that have been traditionally used in cladistic analysis of harvestmen, especially concerning Neotropical groups (e.g. by Pinto-da-Rocha 1997, 2002), and we added characters that seemed to be useful for the analysis of

Scale = 4 mm, except for 21 = 2 mm, 26 = 3 mm, 27 = 1 mm. the taxa herein studied. We tried to use as many informative characters as possible and we did not do any aprioristic exclusion of characters. For the establishment of characters used in the analysis, we preferred the use of multistate characters (following, for instance, Wilkinson 1995). The states were previously ordered, when appropriate, based on similarity, and they were polarised simultaneously between outgroups and ingroup (following, e.g. Nixon and Carpenter 1993). Therefore, we added some characters for the resolution of the outgroup in order to find a better relationship between outgroups and ingroup in such a way that it reduces the problems of character polarisation that may affect the topology of the ingroup cladogram (Nixon and Carpenter 1993). Based on the fact that McGhee (1977) and Gnaspini (1999) demonstrated that morphometric and meristic characters may help on the diagnosis of species among Opiliones (and also within

Scale = 4 mm, except for 30 = 2 mm, 31 = 1 mm. Goniosomatinae Gnaspini 1999), we decided to incorporate some of these data in our analysis. For that, continuous and quantitative characters were coded following Thiele (1993). Thus, characters related to counts or ratios (93 97) were coded as 10-state with 1/10 weighting; characters related to size and density of granulation were weighted 2/10 (75 77 and 80) or 3/10 (78 79 and 81 83). Most polymorphisms were treated as ambiguities, and the two states were used for the same polymorphic species; in character 49, we used the apomorphic state in order to inform the presence of an apomorphic state in that given species. The characters related to the penis, the morphometric characters, most of those related to ornamentation and armature of legs, and some of those related to colour are valid only for males; only one character (related to colour) is valid

9 538 Invertebrate Systematics M. B. DaSilva and P. Gnaspini only for females and the characters related to body granules, pedipalp, and tarsal claws are valid for both sexes. Some characters show variation within the species (as can be seen in the descriptions in the Taxonomy section), including some related to age (which were not used herein) and to sexual dimorphism (e.g. some related to male armature), and should be viewed with caution to avoid misinterpretations (as discussed, e.g. by Goodnight and Goodnight 1953 and Gnaspini 1999). Therefore, we tried to recognise general patterns of each character for each species, and these patterns were used both for the recognition of species limits (in conjunction with other characters, such as colour and genital morphology, for instance), and for the establishment of the states used in the cladistic analysis for those given characters. This is not the case when there is gender polymorphism, since, where appropriate, we used separate characters for males and females. The character matrix was edited using NDE (Page 2001). The parsimony analysis was carried out using NONA 2.0 (Goloboff 1999), with the interface Winclada (Nixon 1999) and PAUP 4.0b10 (Swofford 2002). Since the use of exact search algorithms was not possible owing to the large number of taxa, we opted for a heuristic search algorithm. We conducted 1000 independent replicates of Wagner addition followed by TBR (tree bisection and reconnection). The commands hold10 000; mult*1000; hold/1000 and mult*max* were used in NONA 2.0, and hsearch addseq = random nreps = 1000 hold = 100 in PAUP 4.0b10. Bremer support indices (Bremer 1994) were calculated for each node of the proposed phylogenetic hypothesis: we used the command constraint of PAUP 4.0b10 followed by the parenthetical notation of the clade in question. List of characters The characters used in the present cladistic analysis are listed in Appendix 1 and are summarised in the matrix of characters shown in Table 1. Characters 75 to 83 and 93 to 97 are continuous and/or quantitative; characters 84 to 92 were used only for resolution at the outgroup level and do not vary within Goniosomatinae. State 0 of each character is the plesiomorphic state at the node including the whole Goniosomatinae subfamily as a result of the present phylogenetic study. State 0 of continuous characters (75 83 and 93 97) was established as the smallest value found within the range. For multistate characters, we either indicated a hypothesis for the transformation series between states (whenever we understood that we could recognise and hypothesise a linear connection between states and in this case the character was treated as additive), or considered non-additive, as noted (but we also conducted a cladistic analysis considering all multistate characters as non-additive and compared the results). In our discussion, we base the optimisation of characters on the phylogenetic hypothesis obtained herein (as in Fig. 233), and we used the group + concept of Amorim (1982) (which may be briefly explained as follows: a clade may be referred to as the name of the basal taxon followed by + example: G. varium + refers to the clade (G. varium, (G. capixaba, (G. venustum, G. roridum))) as in Fig. 233). Results of the cladistic analysis We obtained a single tree (Fig. 233) of 5629 steps, CI = 0.29 and RI = 0.68; Bremer support values are given for each clade (these numbers were generally higher at the generic level, and at the Goniosomatinae node, giving support to the generic scheme here proposed). Table 2 shows the changes in character state for each clade of the cladistic hypothesis obtained. We made two additional analyses. When we removed the continuous and quantitative characters, we obtained 148 most parsimonious trees (MPTs) of 4950 steps, CI = 0.30 and RI = 0.69, and the strict consensus tree had 5110 steps, CI = 0.29 and RI = 0.68; in this hypothesis, clade (G. dentipes + G. ensifer) + (as in Fig. 233) collapses partially [becoming (G. dentipes, G. ensifer, clade G. apoain + )], clade Serracutisoma collapses partially [becoming (S. proximum, clade S. banhadoae +, S. fritzmuelleri, clade S. catarina + )], clade S. banhadoae + collapses [becoming (S. banhadoae, S. molle, S. pseudovarium, S. thalassinum)] and clade (H. discolor + H. inscriptus) + collapses [becoming (H. discolor, H. inscriptus, H. albiscriptus, H. anarchus)]. When we considered all multistate characters as non-additive, we obtained 288 MPTs of 5012 steps, CI = 0.32 and RI = 0.66, and the strict consensus tree had 5140 steps, CI = 0.31 and RI = 0.65; in this hypothesis, clade Goniosomatinae is rearranged [becoming (Goniosoma, (Pyatan, Serracutisoma, clade Heteromitobates + ))], clade Goniosoma is rearranged [becoming (G. vatrax, G. macracanthum, clade G. dentipes + G. ensifer, (clade G. varium +, (G. unicolor, (G. carum, (G. calcar, G. apoain)))))], clade S. banhadoae + collapses partially [becoming (S. banhadoae, S. molle, clade S. pseudovarium + S. thalassinum)], and clade Heteromitobates is rearranged [becoming (H. harlechin, H. alienus, (H. discolor, H. albiscriptus, (H. anarchus, H. inscriptus)))]. We should stress that in both alternative analyses, all genera considered herein are preserved. Characters main tendencies and evolution Here we discuss the main tendencies based on the cladistic analysis; the evolution within each character is discussed in Appendix 1. From the cladistic analysis, two main groups may be recognised, each with three subgroups, which, based on shared characters and morphological intervals, were here recognised as genera in our new classification scheme, namely (Heteromitobates +(Acutisoma + Mitogoniella)) + (Serracutisoma +(Pyatan + Goniosoma)). Considering the male genitalia, the more pronounced changes occurred within Goniosoma. There was a tendency for simplification and reduction of armature, easily observed by the absence and/or reduction of some spines, which are common among other Goniosomatinae and also species of other subfamilies (e.g. characters 5, 6, 7, 10, 11 and 12), the narrowing of the ventral plate (character 2), and the reduction and further loss of the ventral process (character 13). In this clade, other striking apomorphies appear, such as the convex apical margin and the beak in the stylus (characters 1 and 14). In the other groups, the same genitalic patterns observed in other subfamilies of Gonyleptidae are conserved for instance, the apical margin of the ventral plate is concave, and length and

10 Systematic revision of goniosomatine harvestmen Invertebrate Systematics 539 Table 1. Matrix of characters used in the cladistic analysis of Goniosomatinae width are similar. However, there is a tendency for a general increase in the number of spines (e.g. characters 7, 10 and 11), mainly in Heteromitobates, which may bear up to 13 spines in each side of the ventral blade. In the same genus, other striking modifications appear: there is a well developed dorsal process and a different ventral process (characters 13 and 16). For the other genera, diagnostic apomorphies are the differentiation of the stylus (character 15) in Mitogoniella and Acutisoma, the hexagonal ventral blade in Serracutisoma, and the truncus dorsally invading the ventral blade in Pyatan. In legs, especially concerning leg IV, there is a tendency to a reduction in size in Goniosoma, aided by a bending of femur IV (characters 18, 96 and 97). At the same time, granulation and armature highly increased, but spines concentrate on tibiae and metatarsi (characters 21, 22 and 25 33), in addition to an increase in the inner apophysis of

11 540 Invertebrate Systematics M. B. DaSilva and P. Gnaspini Table 1. (Continued) coxa IV (which leads to an increased armature of this region) and in the dorsal retrolateral apical apophysis of femur IV (characters 40 and 46). In turn, in Serracutisoma, spines concentrate on femur IV, mainly on the inner face, with a very conspicuous armature. Other striking apomorphy of this genus is the bent femur (characters 20 and 23). In Mitogoniella, length of legs is highly increased, followed by a reduction in granulation, and absence of armature, which is a tendency shared with its sister-genus, Acutisoma (characters 21, 22, 24 to 34, 96, and 97). In Pyatan, leg IV is very different from the others, being very strong, with large acuminate tubercles, and strongly armed. Concerning the prolateral apophysis of coxa IV, there is a tendency in the subfamily for its reduction, and it is kept large only in Serracutisoma. Another apomorphy that deserves note is the prolateral apical apophysis of the trochanter in Serracutisoma, Pyatan, and Goniosoma (characters 38 to 45). Moreover, as extremes, we have Mitogoniella, with long legs and small bodies, against Goniosoma, with short legs and large bodies (characters 96 and 97).

13 542 Invertebrate Systematics M. B. DaSilva and P. Gnaspini An important character to discuss is the presence of pectinate tarsal claws of legs III and IV (character 50) in all species of Heteromitobates, previously known only in Caelopyginae when Gonyleptidae is considered (being a diagnostic feature of this subfamily), and first detected in Heteromitobates discolor by A.B. Kury (1994) (see also discussion under Taxonomy ). Concerning the general ornamentation of the dorsal scute and the free tergites, we may observe, from one side, an increase of granules followed by an armature of the free tergites and of the posterior margin of the dorsal scute in part of Serracutisoma (especially in S. proximum + ) and, from the other side, reduction in size (with almost smooth species) and increase in density of granules in Goniosoma, although, at the same time, this genus bears an eye mound armed with very large spines (characters 52 to 56, 75 to 83, and 93). Finally, we should mention the previously recognised diagnostic character of Goniosomatinae, which is the strongly armed and robust pedipalps. Actually, an increase in this armature occurs independently several times within the subfamily (characters 71 to 74). Taxonomy Descriptions, diagnoses, identification keys and discussion concerning the new taxonomic scheme for genera and species of Goniosomatinae are shown below. The classification in genera presented as well as the order for the description of genera and species follows the results of the phylogenetic analysis presented above. In order to facilitate comparisons, generic diagnostic characters and important structures in specific and generic descriptions are presented in bold. When the variation in quantitative characters are shown, the type specimen values are given in parentheses. In the synonymic list following each taxon, the following conventions were used: comb. indicates that that combination was proposed as new by that author; when followed by type species, it indicates that that species with new combination was used as the type species of that given genus by that author; comb. reestabl. indicates that that author reestablished a previous combination for that species name proposed by other author (in this case, this previously proposed combination is declared elsewhere in the same synonymic list); syn. indicates to which senior synonym that species/genus name was proposed as a junior synonym by that author. In the lists of specimens examined, ma = adult male, fe = adult female, and im = immature.

Diagnosis Anterior margin of carapace smooth or with sparse granules; eye-mound wide, with 1 pair of tubercles or spines or a single spine. Dorsal scute with 3 areas; area II invading area I medially, dividing it into 2 parts; area I with 1 central tubercle on both sides; area III with 1 pair of tubercles or spines. All areas and carapace with homogeneously distributed granules (those of areas generally a little larger than those of carapace, while those of margins have different sizes); lateral margins with 2 longitudinal rows of granules, one close to lateral groove and other to the edge; posterior margin with 1 transversal row of granules like those of free tergites. Angles of posterior margin of dorsal scute and free tergites with or without spines or tubercles. Coxae I III with 1 longitudinal row of tubercles, decreasing from I to III, and lateral granules, increasing from I to III; coxa IV with larger granules (granules on lateral face larger than those on ventral face); trochanter with 3 tubercles (1 medial and 2 apical) decreasing from I to III, and sparse granules, increasing from I to III. Robust pedipalps longer than dorsal scute; femur with a row of large ventral tubercles and 1 or 2 retrolateral setae; tibia with ventral armature IiIi prolaterally (and sometimes with 1 distinct basal tubercle or spine in addition to standard armature) and IiIIi retrolaterally; tarsus with ventral armature IIi prolaterally and IiIi retrolaterally. Legs I IV with granulation and armature organised in 6 regular longitudinal rows of granules and/or spines; apical end of dorsal rows with 2 pointed apophyses backward, being retrolateral larger than prolateral; tarsus I IV of adult with more than 8 segments; tarsus III IV with 2 smooth or pectinate claws and with tarsal process varying from very short to as long as a claw; distitarsus I II with 3 segments. Penis with or without ventral and dorsal process on glans; ventral plate with 2 groups of setae of same size, being one basal and other apical or subapical (the latter with 1 small medial seta). General sexual dimorphism in subfamily Males with granulation of legs stronger than females, with legs III-IV unarmed (or weakly armed in some species) on females, even if armed on males of the same species. Male femur IV may be straight, curved or sharply bent, with variable length; females with femur straight or almost straight, generally shorter than that of males. Apophyses of coxa and trochanter of leg IV larger on males; females have only the prolateral apical apophysis of coxa IV pointed and short, like a robust spine. Female tarsal process IV at least half the size of male process. Angles of posterior margin of dorsal scute and free tergites generally larger on females, armed with robust spine on each angle; male with angles unarmed or with weak spines. Male dimorphism Most species show a large variation in size of males, with different morphs. Different male morphs were observed in many taxa of the Grassatores infra-order of Laniatores

14 Systematic revision of goniosomatine harvestmen Invertebrate Systematics 543 (Gnaspini et al. 2004), and were hypothesised as the occurrence of two adult instars (Gnaspini et al. 2004) but are the result of different reproductive strategies (Tsurusaki and Fujikawa 2004) caused by territorial disputes between males (Machado and Macías-Ordóñez 2007). Larger males differ from smaller ones mainly by having more developed and/or more pronounced secondary sexual characters. In Goniosomatinae, larger males have apophyses and spines of legs IV larger and with a more defined shape, e.g. more curved, with stronger branches, or more pointed, and legs IV more curved, bent, or longer Figs , Goniosoma unicolor. 38, Habitus, dorsal view. 39, Right femur IV (dorsal view). 40, Right pedipalp (ventral prolateral view). 41, 42, Goniosoma calcar. 41, Habitus, dorsal view. 42, Left femur IV (dorsal view) notice very accentuated curvature , Goniosoma carum. 43, Habitus, dorsal view notice the curved retrolateral apical apophysis of coxa (raac). 44, Ventral view of coxa IV, showing the bifid ventral apophysis (vac). 45, Right femur IV (dorsal view) notice the bent retrolateral apical apophysis (raaf). 46, 47, Pyatan insperatum, gen. nov., sp. nov. 46, Habitus, dorsal view notice the small ratio between width and length of the dorsal scute. 47, Right femur IV (dorsal view), showing acuminate granules.

Colour pattern Dorsal scute and venter light-brown; carapace, legs IV and spines of area III dark-brown; pedipalps, chelicerae and legs I III (except trochanter) dark green; light rings adjacent to tibia and metatarsus of legs. Dry-mark as a frame, on dorsal scute and carapace, like a wide stripe before the eye-mound; like a round spot between spines of area III; on apex of coxa, at base of trochanter and femur. Female Angles of free tergites and posterior margin of dorsal scute as among males. Measurements (in mm) Dorsal scute: width: (9.98), length: (8.80); leg I: (31.15), II: (60.85), III: (46.76), IV: (59.51), femur IV: (16.04). Remarks Six junior synonyms were recognised for the present species, four of them in the present study. The two main reasons to the large number of synonyms are the facts that (1) three of them were described from females (which are distinct from males because of the dimorphic characters), and (2) the typelocalities are in Rio de Janeiro state, where there were many collections in the past, with many specimens that were described as new species. However, the unique dry-mark and the mediumsized spine on the eye mound were enough to recognise the species and to propose such synonyms, even without part of the type material. Metalyogoniosoma unum was described from a single immature specimen, probably a last stage nymph, in which the armature of the eye-mound is not completely developed. Soares and Soares (1946) used this character to describe the species and its monotypic genus. We examined the dissected penis found in the same vial of this specimen and we concluded that it probably belongs to a different species and that it was mistakenly included in the same vial, since it is very distinctive from the penis of other species of Goniosoma and it is already fully developed to belong to an immature specimen. We discussed elsewhere (see Gnaspini et al. 2004) that the penis is fully developed in adults but it is much less developed in the immediately previous nymphal stage.

21 550 Invertebrate Systematics M. B. DaSilva and P. Gnaspini Penis. Ventral plate rectangular with an extension above the apical group of setae; apical margin straight and wide; region where setae of apical group are inserted is concave. Apical group with 4 setae equidistant to each other; basal group with setae close to each other, forming an oblique row. Glans with a thin ventral process smaller than half the size of stylus. Truncus not invading ventral plate. Colour pattern General dark-brown; carapace black and dorsal scute and venter light-brown; leg IV very dark; joint of tibia and metatarsus of legs with a lighter ring; granules and tubercles of posterior margin of dorsal scute and of free tergites yellow. Dry-mark as a frame on dorsal scute and a wide spot divided at middle between the spines of area III; on carapace like a round spot behind eye-mound as wide as in between the eyes (absent in a central triangle and in lateral fragment) and, before eye-mound, like a wide spot; on apex of coxa, base of trochanter and base of femur of leg IV. Measurements (in mm) Dorsal scute: width: (9.65), length: (9.28); leg I: (39.10), II: (84.23), III: (60.73), IV: (77.80), femur IV: (21.07). Female In addition to dimorphic characters already mentioned, the female differs by: Angle of posterior margin of dorsal scute with a very large granule like others of margin. Angles of free tergites with 1 robust spine each. Anal operculum with low density of medium-sized granules. Tarsal process half the size of tarsal claws. Remarks This new species is similar to G. venustum and G. roridum. It can be distinguished mainly by a curved femur IV and absence of a comb of granules on dorsum of femur IV (the very large granules are not aligned), which are plesiomorphic states, and by very large granules on dorsal scute, an autapomorphic state.

Biology Sabino and Gnaspini (1999). Remarks The species is easily recognised by the dry-mark around all granules of the dorsal scute, giving a white-punctate aspect to its body. Although its type is lost, the original description by Perty (1833), especially concerning colour pattern, and the illustration by Koch (1839) allowed the precise identification of the species. Therefore, we decided to designate a neotype in the present study. Goniosoma vatrax Koch (Figs 22, 23, 122, 123) Goniosoma vatrax Koch, 1848: 21.

25 554 Invertebrate Systematics M. B. DaSilva and P. Gnaspini with thin ventral process smaller than stylus (half the size). Truncus not invading the ventral plate. Colour pattern General brown; legs darker; carapace and apex of coxa IV with apophysis black; apex of trochanters, apex of retrolateral apical apophysis of coxa IV and eye-mound yellow; grooves of areas and free segments of abdomen slightly red; pedipalps slightly green. Dry-mark totally absent. Pink articular membranes between coxae and trochanters, in live animals.

Remarks The type locality, São Paulo Cantareira is probably mistaken, since (1) the species has not been found in recent arachnid expeditions to Serra da Cantareira, which is still a wellpreserved area; (2) the 2 examined specimens were recently collected in a distinct area, and such a disjunct distribution (especially considering these areas) is not common among the studied harvestmen; and (3) this kind of mistake was not uncommon at that time, considering harvestmen and other arthropods as well. Although there are a few specimens of this species, its diagnostic characters and autapomorphies are very conspicuous: dorsal scute totally unarmed, very large retrolateral apical apophysis of coxa IV (almost 3 the size of trochanter IV) and very curved prolateral apical apophysis of coxa IV.

Ventral plate very long and narrow; apical region extended, with 2 lateral subapical constrictions on each side, apical margin convex, but with a small concavity on medial region. Apical group with subapical setae; basal group with setae disposed in a longitudinal row. Glans with thin ventral process smaller than stylus (half the size). Truncus not invading the ventral plate. Colour pattern Redish-brown, lighter on venter, on spine of eye-mound and on granules, black on rest; pedipalp slightly green. Drymark on dorsal scute forming a large cross composed by: a round area behind eye-mound, medial region and lateral posterior margins of area I, area II, between spines of area III and from the lateral margins of the center of area I up to groove III; at base of trochanter IV. Pink articular membranes between coxae and trochanters, on live animals. Measurements (in mm) Dorsal scute: width: , length: ; leg I: , II: , III: , IV: , femur IV: Female In addition to dimorphic characters already mentioned, the female differs by: Angles of free tergites with small robust spines. Remarks The type was not found in Senkenberg Museum, Frankfurt, where it was supposed to be deposited. However the species is easily recognised by its diagnostic characters in descriptions from type-material (e.g. Roewer 1913). It has important autapomorphies: dry-mark like a cross on dorsal scute and 1 distinct retrolateral apical spine on tibia IV, in addition to its general reddish-brown colour. Four junior synonyms were recognised for the present species, three of them in the present study. The two main reasons to the large number of synonyms are the facts that (1) three species were described from females (which are distinct from males because of the dimorphic characters), and (2) the type-localities are in Rio de Janeiro state, where there was many collections in the past, with many specimens that were described as new species. The type of the synonym Glyptogoniosoma perditum is distinctly a male (based on the more curved femur IV and larger retrolateral apophysis of coxa IV, for example). Although its type locality, Paraopeba-MG, is far from the present distribution of G. dentipes, we have seen some specimens of the senior synonym larger and more developed like the holotype of G. perditum, and we have concluded the synonymy and the fact that there is a large variation of size and curvature of femur IV among adult males of this species. We also believe that the type locality of G. perditum (Paraopeba MG) may be mistaken because the other specimens are distributed on the littoral of Rio de Janeiro state. Since we have types of synonyms for comparison, we preferred not to designate a neotype for this species at this time. Goniosoma ensifer is very similar to G. dentipes and they are sympatric. They can be distinguished by the higher development of some structures in G. ensifer, such as the very large retrolateral apophysis of coxa IV and very curved femur IV, for example. Since only a few specimens of G. ensifer were available for study and since no specimen of G. dentipes that we examined showed the same pattern as G. ensifer, we have decided to keep the species separate, although a future and more detailed analysis may lead to the conclusion of the synonymy.

31 560 Invertebrate Systematics M. B. DaSilva and P. Gnaspini Female Angles of free tergites and posterior margin of dorsal scute as among males. Remarks This is a very distinct and easily recognisable species in the subfamily due to its many autapomorphies (very elongate coxa IV, presence of ventral apophysis of coxa IV, distinct dorsal apical apophysis of femur IV, etc.) in addition to many plesiomorphic characters of Goniosoma, since it is the basal species of the genus. Since the available specimens are only a few and very old, the description is somewhat incomplete. Goniosoma species inquirenda Remarks The types of G. lepidum Gervais, 1844, G. monacanthum Gervais, 1844, G. obscurum Perty, 1833 and G. versicolor Perty, 1833 are lost, and the species can not be recognised by original description and illustration. Thus, Kury (2003) has considered them to be species inquirenda. Considering the descriptions, it is not possible to include them into the genus Goniosoma, nor even into Goniosomatinae. Genus Pyatan, gen. nov. (Figs 46, 47, 141, 144, 201, 202, 234) Type species: Pyatan insperatum DaSilva, Stefanini-Jim & Gnaspini, sp. nov., here designated, by monotypy. Diagnosis Dorsal scute longer than wide. Eye-mound with 1 pair of medium-sized spines. Coxa IV with 1 pointed prolateral apical apophysis with a small posterior sub-basal process; retrolateral apical apophysis reduced. Trochanter with 2 prolateral apophysis, the apical larger. Legs III with large pointed granules. Femur IV large, robust and curved outward. Tarsal process medium-sized and tarsal claws smooth. Penis with truncus invading dorsally the ventral plate; latter with the apical margin almost straight and dorsal process fingerlike. Discussion This genus shares many characters with its sister genus Goniosoma. It can be distinguished from Goniosoma by having a femur IV curved outward and robust, with strong and acuminate granules, a very peculiar penis and distinct shape of body. Distribution North littoral of São Paulo state and south littoral of Rio de Janeiro state. Etymology From Brazilian Tupi native language, pyatã means strong due to its robust body, mainly the leg IV.

It was cited as Goniosoma proximum in most above cited publications following R. Stefanini-Jim s identification and suggestion (in her unpublished 1985 M.Sc. Thesis) that the subfamily would have only the genus Goniosoma. Therefore, this combination has never been officialised in a taxonomic review. This species is easily recognised by the dry-mark forming a Y behind the eye-mound (shared with S. fritzmuelleri, sp. nov.), very elongate legs and small body, and femur IV with decreasing spines on row1 and row2.

Remarks We could not examine the holotype (deposited in Gofferjé s private collection, in Blumenau, Santa Catarina), but we have seen the paratype, allowing the precise identification of the species. Soares and Soares (1947a) described in details this species and they discussed its affinity with Acutisoma marumbicola H. Soares, The latter have been synonymised here with S. thalassinum and it can be distinguished by the direction of prolateral apical apophysis of coxa IV and distribution of spines on femur IV; in S. banhadoae, these spines end in subapical position.

Remarks The type (MNRJ27609) was examined by R. Stefanini-Jim during her study, but could not be located presently (see Material ). However, the original description and illustration allowed the precise identification of the species. The cited allotype was not described together with the type series, but we found a remark in a label found in the vial. Since it was identified by Stefanini-Jim in her unpublished 1985 M.Sc. thesis as Goniosoma badium (in fact, Stefanini- Jim re-described G. badium based on an immature male of the present species), and since it is very abundant in some caves of Paraná, Serracutisoma molle has been referred at as G. aff. badium and as G. n. sp. aff. badium in some papers about the natural history of goniosomatines (see above).

Dorsal scute brown with dark green posterior margins; leg I dark green too. Epidermic pigmentation on dorsal scute as a fragmented frame. Remarks The type in MNHN was not lent for this study. The original description and later illustrations based on this type (e.g. Roewer 1913) allowed its identification. It can be distinguished by armature of femur IV and direction of prolateral apophysis of coxa IV. B. Soares (1945a) discussed the affinity of two junior synonyms of this species, A. patens with A. marumbicola. They are distinguished by the direction of the prolateral apical apophysis of coxa IV, oblique in A. marumbicola and transversal in A. patens. However, this condition in A. patens was probably created by misinterpretation of B. Soares (1945a) by the perspective of the illustration by Roewer (1930) in the original description. The type locality of A. patens is Caldas-MG, that of A. marumbicola is Marumbi-PR, and that of A. thalassinum was not indicated. The localities of recently collected specimens are in Paraná or Santa Catarina too. Therefore, we consider that the type locality of A. patens is mistaken, a common fact in old descriptions.

Measurements (in mm) Dorsal scute: width: (8.24), length: (7.69); leg I: , II: , III: , IV: , femur IV: Female In addition to dimorphic characters already mentioned, the female differs by: Angles of free tergites with spines like spines of area III, but more robust. Remarks Despite the name (= unarmed), it is very armed on legs III and IV. However it was described by Mello-Leitão (1927) from a female, which is naturally unarmed. Studying the type female, Soares and Bauab (1970) later described a male allotype. Roewer (1913) designated a male allotype of Goniosoma badium Koch, 1839 since he considered its holotype to be a female. We have examined this specimen (from SMF) and we have concluded that it is actually a male Serracutisoma inerme. In addition, we have also examined the original description and illustration of G. badium and we have concluded that it is actually a male from a species of the genus Mitogoniella (see remarks under Mitogoniella badium). Since the species of Mitogoniella have almost smooth legs, as it is the general case of females of the other genera of Goniosomatinae, Roewer (1913) probably confounded it with a female specimen. Due to Roewer s misinterpretation, all subsequent authors have misidentified many specimens of Serracutisoma as G. badium. In addition, in her unpublished M.Sc. Thesis,

50 Systematic revision of goniosomatine harvestmen Invertebrate Systematics 579 Stefanini-Jim (1985) proposed to synonymise many different species of Serracutisoma under the name G. badium. Therefore, different species of Goniosomatinae were identified by her as G. badium, as can be seen in cave fauna surveys and some synonymic lists in the present paper.

Remarks Since its original description, this species has been allocated in 4 subfamilies. It was described from a female by Soerensen (1884) as Mitobates discolor, the type-genus of Mitobatinae. Roewer (1913) transferred it to Caelopyginae (at that time, Coelopyginae) as the type of the monotypic genus Heteromitobates due to the pectinate tarsal claws of legs III and IV. Cunha-Filho (1955), in an unpublished thesis, allocated the species in Heterocranainae. Finally, in his unpublished Ph.D. Thesis, Kury (1991) transferred the species to Goniosomatinae, creating the first record of pectinate tarsal claws in the subfamily, formalising it in Kury (2003). However, Kury s transfer was previously published by Machado (2002). This species is very abundant in the north littoral of São Paulo state and there are many specimens in Brazilian collections (mainly MZSP and MNRJ), in which it was misidentified as Acutisoma inscriptum Mello-Leitão, 1922 since they are very similar species.

(2003) [cit.]; Hara and Gnaspini (2003) [biol.]; Willemart and Gnaspini (2003) [biol.]; Willemart and Gnaspini (2004a, 2004b) [biol.]. Remarks There is no indication where the type may be deposited and its whereabouts are unknown. Soares and Bauab (1970) have made an [translation]: addition of other peculiar characters of this beautiful species and a very detailed description of the colour pattern of the species. That study and the photograph in the original description (Mello-Leitão 1932) allowed the identification of the species. The type locality is Itatiaya. However, other specimens have been found in Serra do Mar in São Paulo state. Since the ranges of distribution of harvestman species are often restricted (see discussion in Biogeography ), we consider the type locality to be wrong.

59 588 Invertebrate Systematics M. B. DaSilva and P. Gnaspini Remarks This species has many autapomorphies so that it is very distinct from other species of the genus and of the subfamily in general aspects. For example, it has a very large prolateral apical apophysis of coxa IV curved backward, narrower dorsal scute, more robust astragalus of metatarsus IV and femur IV strongly curved outward (but the basal region is curved inward). Nevertheless, it is placed in the genus Heteromitobates because of the pectinate tarsal claws, reticulate epidermic pigmentation on dorsal scute and only one prolateral apophysis on trochanter IV, among others. Moreover, we should stress that, first, the genus has a considerably high Bremmer support value (see Fig. 233), and, second, the species shares several apomorphies with H. harlequin, forming a clade with Bremer support value higher than that of the other clade within Heteromitobates (see Fig. 233 and Table 2). Etymology From Latin alienus, that means strange or adverse, because of its very distinct aspect and many autapomorphies. Genus Mitogoniella Mello-Leitão, reestabl.

Type species: Mitogoniella indistincta Mello-Leitão, 1936, by original designation. Diagnosis Eye-mound with 1 pair of tubercles very close to each other, with the space between them high nearly the height of eyes, above or below the eyes level (exception: 1 single medial spine on the eye-mound in M. unicornis, sp. nov.). Legs practically smooth, very long and thin. Coxa IV with 1 blunt prolateral apical apophysis, transversal and slightly curved backward, with a small posterior subapical process; retrolateral apical apophysis reduced. Trochanter IV without prolateral apical apophysis, with 1 prolateral sub-basal apophysis. Dorsal apical apophysis of femur IV similar to each other and minute. Tarsal process minute and tarsal claws smooth (variation: some specimens of M. modesta have pectinate tarsal claws). Penis with ventral plate with width almost same as length, with very concave apical margin, lateral margins straight; apical group with 4 or 5 setae in a dorsal row and 2 or 3 setae in a ventral row; basal group with 4 setae in an oblique row. Ventral face with bristles. Glans with a large ventral process with an apical lamina with margin with projections; stylus with a 90 angle on apical third, presence of scales on this angle and cylindrical apex. Dry-mark in dots on the entire lateral margin of dorsal scute. Truncus invading the ventral plate medially on dorsal face. Distribution Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro (Itatiaia) and southern Bahia. Remarks When describing this genus, Mello-Leitão (1936) commented that [translation] this genus makes a transition into Mitobatinae because of the extremely elongate and smooth legs of males, a very conspicuous character. Key for the species of Mitogoniella based on males or females Mitogoniella badia is not included in the key because the type is lost, and, therefore, we could not characterise it adequately (see below). 1.

Biology Bristowe (1925) [biol.]; Gnaspini and Cavalheiro (1998) [cit.]; Machado (2002) [biol.]. Remarks It can be easily distinguished from other species of Mitogoniella by an interesting autapomorphy: a dry-mark around all granules of dorsal scute, forming many conspicuous white dots on the animal. Because of this, it was misidentified as Goniosoma roridum by Bristowe (1925) since they share a similar punctate dry-mark. Our interpretation of Bristowe s identification as a misidentification is based on the fact that he described the animals as having very long legs (what is not the case of G. roridum) and because his record (Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais) lies within the range of distribution of Mitogoniella indistincta.

Dorsal scute with epidermic pigmentation stronger, allowing darker aspect. Biology Machado et al. (2003) [biol.]. Remarks It can be distinguished from other species of the genus by medium-sized granules in smaller quantity on dorsal scute and height of fusion of base of spines of eye-mound lower than the height of eyes. This species also has a higher legs length/ body length ratio. It is very common in its range of distribution, mainly in caves, and, although so far undescribed, this species is also frequently found in the museum collections examined.

Remarks This species has an interesting autapomorphy: the spines of the eye-mound are entirely fused, what makes it the only species of the subfamily with a single spine on the eye-mound. The distributions of this new species and Mitogoniella modesta are separated from those of other species of the subfamily, what may indicate the lack of collections in the remaining area.

63 592 Invertebrate Systematics M. B. DaSilva and P. Gnaspini Measurements (in mm) The measurements of the type specimen are given between parentheses but they were not included in species variation because it is much smaller than the other specimens. Dorsal scute: width: (5.47), length: (5.6); leg I: (36.55), II: (78.85), III: (59), IV: (74.1), femur IV: (21.8). Remarks The species of Mitogoniella are very similar to each other. They can be distinguished only by the granulation and ornamentation of dorsal scute. For example, M. modesta can be distinguished from other species by the space between the pair of tubercles much higher than the height of eyes. Mitogoniella badia (Koch), comb. nov., species inquirenda Goniosoma badium Koch, 1839: 65. Simon, 1879: 233; Soares & Soares, 1948: 628 (comb. reestabl.); Muñoz-Cuevas, 1972: 32; Kury, 2003: 117. Progoniosoma badium. Roewer, 1913: 269 (comb.), 1923: 502, 1930: 383; Mello-Leitão, 1923: 155, 1927: 401, 1932: 261; B. Soares, 1945c: 352. Remarks Although the type of Goniosoma badium Koch, 1839 is lost, we have identified it as a species of the genus Mitogoniella but we can not recognise it as a synonym of some species or as a fifth species in the genus. Therefore, it is here considered a species inquirenda. Roewer (1913) designated a male allotype of Goniosoma badium Koch, 1839 since he considered its holotype to be a female. We have examined this specimen (from SMF) and we have concluded that it is actually a male Serracutisoma inerme (see remarks under Serracutisoma inerme). In addition, we have also examined the original description and illustration of G. badium and we have concluded that it is actually a male from a species of the genus Mitogoniella. Since the species of Mitogoniella have almost smooth legs, as it is the general case with females of the other genera of Goniosomatinae, Roewer (1913) probably confounded it with a female specimen.

Key for the species of Acutisoma based on males or females No females of Acutisoma coriaceum, sp. nov. are known from the collections examined. Acutisoma acutangulum was not included in the key because we were not able to study the type and, therefore, we can not assure that it is not a synonym. 1.

Remarks The type of this species is a female from the Paris Museum (MNHN). We did not have access to it. However, Profs. A. Muñoz-Cuevas and W. Lourenço kindly sent us photographs of the animal, which allowed us to identify it as a species belonging to the same clade as A. hamatum, A. longipes and A. coriaceum, sp. nov. Based on its general aspects, we consider it to be a distinct species, but we just had photographs of a dry and pinned female to base our analysis. Several male characters, important for a precise species identification, were missing, which also did not allow us to include this species in the cladistic analysis.

Acutisoma longipes should be considered a reestablished combination. The distribution of Acutisoma longipes is much wider than that of the other species in the subfamily, since it includes the interior of São Paulo state and the eastern region of Serra da Mantiqueira of São Paulo and Minas Gerais states. In addition, there is a high morphological variation related to size and curvature of femur IV, width of coxa IV and colour pattern. Therefore, it is possible that there is a complex of species related to A. longipes. However, this variation overlaps and forms a continuum when many populations are analysed. Thus we consider it to be a single species for the time being. Acutisoma hamatum is very similar to A. longipes but without morphological or geographic overlapping. Thus, we keep them as distinct species, although we understand that it is possible that a future analysis may conclude that they are synonyms, what would enlarge even more the morphological variation and geographic distribution of A. longipes. It is also a well-studied species from a natural history point-of-view.

Area cladogram (modified from Pinto-da-Rocha et al. 2005, and showing the relationship among the areas of endemism within the general area of distribution of Goniosomatinae), in which we plotted the number of species in each area (between parentheses). See text for abbreviations. Biogeography Goniosomatinae harvestmen live in the Atlantic rainforest in its most humid areas, mainly in ombrophylous dense forests, in a narrow area on the coastal lowlands and related mountains, from Bahia state (in the northeastern region of Brazil) to Santa Catarina state (in the southern region of Brazil) (Fig. 234). A few species occupy all (Goniosoma carum, G. vatrax and Mitogoniella indistincta) or part of its range (Mitogoniella taquara, sp. nov., Acutisoma longipes and Serracutisoma molle) in transitions to semi-deciduous seasonal forest. All species have a restricted range, much smaller than the whole range of the subfamily or of each genus (Figs ). Figures 233 (see box on the right) and 239 respectively show the areas of distribution plotted over the cladogram of the subfamily, and an area cladogram plotted against a map of the region. Pinto-da-Rocha et al. (2005) used phylogenetic hypotheses of Goniosomatinae (here proposed), Caelopyginae (Pinto-da-Rocha 2002), Sodreaninae and Progonyleptoidellinae (Pinto-da-Rocha, unpubl. data) to present a historical biogeographic hypothesis of biota diversification in the Atlantic rainforest. They showed the high degree of endemism in harvestmen by a similarity analysis among several well-sampled localities and pointed out the considerable influence of geomorphologic history in isolation and speciation of harvestmen. The historical biogeographic analysis with the four subfamilies cited above resulted in eleven areas of endemism from Bahia to Santa Catarina. The analysis showed possible past vicariance events following a north-to-south sequence that separated the fauna of these areas. Among the subfamilies studied, Goniosomatinae is the most informative for historical biogeography, both by its great number of species and its highest degree of endemism. Thirty two of its 36 species are restricted to only one area of endemism proposed by Pinto-da-Rocha et al. (2005) (half of the total endemic species) and all areas harbor at least one endemic goniosomatine (Fig. 239). Two areas, southern São Paulo (SSP) and Serra do Espinhaço (SEsp), were only delimited by endemism of 2 and 3 species of Goniosomatinae respectively (Fig. 239).

77 606 Invertebrate Systematics M. B. DaSilva and P. Gnaspini In addition to their importance for defining areas of endemism, Goniosomatinae seems to contain great historical information for the phylogenetic relationships of its species to infer relationship among areas. The distribution maps of genera (Fig. 234) and the area cladogram of Goniosomatinae (Figs 233, 239) show a structured pattern of early disjunction ranges in a basal level in its phylogeny. Mitogoniella is distributed in the north-eastern region and interior areas of Minas Gerais state ( Bahia (BA), Serra do Espinhaço (SEsp), and Serra da Mantiqueira (Mnt)) the latter harbors Acutisoma, its sistergenus. Heteromitobates ranges in a narrow strip on Serra do Mar ridge and adjacent coast ( Serra do Mar de São Paulo (SMSP), north coast of São Paulo and south of Rio de Janeiro (LSRJ), and Serra da Bocaina (Boc)). In the other clade, Goniosoma lives closer to the coast in central areas of endemism ( Espírito Santo (ES), Serra dos Órgãos (Org), and Boc+LSRJ, SEsp and Mnt). Serracutisoma has a range separated from Goniosoma+Pyatan, with its species having the southernmost distribution within the subfamily (SMSP to Santa Catarina (SC)). Even with some sympatry occurring among Acutisoma, Mitogoniella and Heteromitobates, mainly in the SMSP area, these patterns of disjunctions may indicate that important early vicariance events affected Goniosomatinae, agreeing with the area cladogram proposed by Pinto-da-Rocha et al. (2005) (see Fig. 239). These patterns lead to the following possible explanations about the geographic evolution of goniosomatines. First, Goniosomatinae probably differentiated in at least two main lineages (Goniosoma + Pyatan + Serracutisoma and Heteromitobates + Mitogoniella + Acutisoma) before the main vicariance events proposed by Pinto-da-Rocha et al. (2005) occurred in the Atlantic forest, and these lineages were widespread over the area (although one should note that the first group does not reach the southernmost distribution of the subfamily). Afterwards, an important vicariance event occurred around the area that includes Boc, LSRJ, and SMSP, in a different way (i.e. with probably different vicariance barriers) for each one of the two main goniosomatine lineages. In the first main clade, there was a separation between a northern (Goniosoma + Pyatan) from a southern (Serracutisoma) biota, whereas in the second clade there was a separation between the coastal (Heteromitobates) and the interior (Mitogoniella + Acutisoma) regions. Yet, it may be related to the appearance of great rivers or their valleys (e.g. Rio Doce and Rio Paraíba do Sul), and posterior marine transgressions, and uplifting of Serra do Mar and Serra da Mantiqueira mountain ranges (Pinto-da-Rocha et al. 2005). Second, the high degree of replication of areas of endemism and their relationships, or the paralogous pattern showed in the phylogeny in a specific level (Fig. 233), indicates many dispersal events among closer areas of endemism alternated with allopatric and/or some sympatric speciation events. The more recent speciation events were processes that kept these populations restricted to the areas of endemism. Third, almost all recent species seem to have a small distribution range, staying endemic to single areas (Figs 233, ). Most species maintain this restriction even in areas where there is no barrier present for the expansion of their species range (e.g. Org/LSRJ, LSRJ/SMSP, SMSP/SSP). Some biological characteristics may explain this low vagility for harvestmen in general, and for Goniosomatinae in particular. Firstly, as a general rule, harvestmen live in humid places, and they are cryptical and nocturnal animals (Pinto-da-Rocha et al. 2007). Secondly, and more importantly, some studies have shown that goniosomatines have high philopatry (e.g. Gnaspini 1996; Santos and Gnaspini 2002; Willemart and Gnaspini 2004b; has shown that individuals of populations of Serracutisoma spelaeum associated to different entrances of the same cave did not move from one population to the other, even knowing that these populations are only a few meters apart from each other when they rest inside the cave, and that each specimen may take a long route outside the cave during nocturnal foraging activities), which is related to gregariousness and sub-social behavior (the latter in turn probably related to the presence of parental care in species with short ovipositors, as is the case with laniatoreans) (e.g. Machado 2002; Willemart and Gnaspini 2004a; Ferreira et al. 2005; Buzatto et al. 2007). Moreover, Oliveira et al. (2006) showed a large variation in the number of chromosomes of S. spelaeum (2n =92 109; from the same population), which is not common and may be related to this high philopatry and low population numbers. Concerning phylogeographic studies focusing on other groups of harvestmen, a probable poor and low dispersing ability is reported to result in the very high variation in genetic patterns detected among different populations of the same species of a cyphophthalmid (Boyer et al. 2007) and also of a triaenonychid laniatorean (Thomas and Hedin 2008), which, in combination with the highly conservative morphology observed among the different populations, led those authors to discuss whether they were dealing with cryptic species. Therefore, goniosomatines may also be good targets for phylogeographic studies. Three species (Acutisoma longipes, Mitogoniella taquara, sp. nov. and Serracutisoma molle) are here hypothesised to have had recent range expansions. These species ranges spread over the boundaries of the coastal Atlantic forest areas of endemism into semi-deciduous seasonal forest areas. It seems that the distribution patterns of these species need other explanations in addition to the historical scenario proposed by Pinto-da-Rocha et al. (2005), which was based on the congruence between geographic distribution and phylogenetic relationships. We suggest that these three species have recently dispersed toward the interior region from their original Atlantic forest areas of endemism, because they probably have lower climate restrictions and could have dispersed to drier ecosystems (Santos 2003 has studied the ecophysiology of cave and epigean goniosomatines and other gonyleptids, for comparative reasons in his unpublished Ph.D. thesis). Although this subfamily had a major importance for understanding the historical biogeography of the Atlantic rainforest (as previously discussed), most sampling concentrated close to main cities in the south-eastern region, mainly São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Curitiba. Considering the geographical extension of the Atlantic forest (with a large area still unsampled) and the high level of endemism presented by the known species of the subfamily (see discussion above), there are still large gaps with no knowledge about the harvestman

82 Systematic revision of goniosomatine harvestmen Invertebrate Systematics 611 Appendix 1. List of characters and character states 1 Penis, ventral plate shape of apical margin (from a dorsal view) [ ]: 0 concave 1 straight 2 convex 3 triangular The apical region of the ventral plate can be extended above the apical group of setae. In this case, it can present one or two lateral constrictions. This character only changes within Goniosoma. State 1 appears in Goniosoma (except G. carum); state 2 appears twice, in G. roridum + G. venustum and in G. macracanthum +, in which, later, state 3 appears in (G. dentipes + G. ensifer) Penis, ventral plate bristles on ventral face: 0 present 1 reduced The bristles are absent in Acutisoma, Serracutisoma (with a reversion in S. proximum), and in Goniosoma (except G. carum). In addition, they were not observed in Mitogoniella taquara. There is a high variation in density, distribution, and size of the bristles, although the cases of reduction can be considered to be similar. The apical margin becomes straight at node Goniosoma + Pyatan; it becomes convex twice independently within Goniosoma; and it becomes triangular (from a convex lineage) in a group of 3 species (G. apoain, G. calcar, and G. unicolor). A reversion to the concave state occurs in G. varium. The other four genera maintained the ancestral state (concave apical margin), although that concavity is less pronounced than that of the outgroup. 2 Penis, ventral plate shape of lateral margins [0-1-2;0-3]: 0 concave 1 straight 2 convex 3 enlarged/angular 5 Penis, ventral plate setae shape (mainly the basal group): 0 spatulate 1 pointed 0 1 Pointed setae are a synapomorphy of Goniosoma. However, there is a high variation in the width of spatulate setae, and some of them are almost pointed in other genera. 6 Penis, ventral plate setae pattern of the apical group: 0 2 rows 1 1 row The enlarged/angular margin was considered derived from concave because that type of plate shows a slight concavity in some species. The concave margin changes to a straight margin three times: at node Mitogoniella + Acutisoma, and in two groups of species of Goniosoma. In this genus the change to a straight plate is followed by a narrowing of the ventral plate, which does not occur in Mitogoniella + Acutisoma. In Acutisoma it becomes convex; and the concave margin becomes enlarged at the node of Serracutisoma. 3 Penis, ventral plate apex [ ]: 0 without extension 1 with extension, without constriction 2 with extension, with one constriction 3 with extension, with two constrictions 0 1 The setae of ventral plate can be divided in a basal and an apical group. In its turn, the apical group can be divided in a dorsal and a ventral longitudinal row. The former is present in all taxa examined. The presence of a dorsal row alone (i.e. the absence of a ventral row) is a synapomorphy of Goniosoma, with a reversion in G. vatrax. The absence of a ventral row follows a general path towards a reduction in the number of setae. 7 Penis, ventral plate setae number and organisation of setae of the dorsal row in the apical group [non-additive]: 0 4 setae 1 5 setae, 1 displaced 2 5 setae on a row (Continued next page)

83 612 Invertebrate Systematics M. B. DaSilva and P. Gnaspini Appendix 1. (Continued) The dorsal row of the apical group may have 4 or 5 setae. In the last case, the additional seta (which is always the smallest one) can be aligned with or displaced from the other setae. The character was coded as non-additive because there is no evidence for the position of this additional seta when it first appeared. Thus, the displaced seta is considered a synapomorphy of Heteromitobates and the aligned setae appear twice independently, in Serracutisoma and in Mitogoniella indistincta + M. taquara. 8 Penis, ventral plate setae position of more basal seta of apical group: 0 far from the others 1 equidistant to the others These ventral setae are lost in Goniosoma (synapomorphy; reversion in G. vatrax). Two setae appear in Heteromitobates +, and a third seta appears independently in Heteromitobates and Mitogoniella unicornis. 11 Penis, ventral plate setae number in the basal group [0-1;0-2]: 0 4 setae 1 3 setae 2 5 setae 1 0 This more basal seta is the smallest of the apical group. It becomes equidistant in the large clade Serracutisoma + and in Mitogoniella indistincta + M. taquara, occurring 3 reversions within Goniosoma: in G. unicolor, ing. vatrax, and in G. roridum + G. venustum. 9 Penis, ventral plate setae organisation of basal group [0-1;0-2-3]: 0 oblique row 1 transversal row 2 longitudinal row 3 inverted-l-shaped row From the plesiomorphic number (4), a seta is lost in Goniosoma (state 1), and an additional seta appears only in Mitogoniella modesta (state 2). 12 Penis, ventral plate setae small ventral seta, close to basal group: 0 absent 1 present The basal group of setae is organised in a single row, which direction vary in relation to the longitudinal axis of the ventral plate. It becomes transversal in Serracutisoma, longitudinal in G. macracanthum + and changes to inverted- L-shaped row in G. ensifer; there is a reversion to oblique row in G. unicolor. Yet, there is a direct change from state 0 to state 3 in G. roridum + G. venustum. 10 Penis, ventral plate setae number at the apical ventral group [0-1-2;0-3]: 0 1 seta 1 2 setae 2 3 setae 3 0 seta 3 Although this seta is considered apart from the basal group, it could be considered the fourth seta of character 11; in this case, state 0 of character 11 should have been divided into 2 states. The equivalence between this reduced seta and that fourth seta was corroborated by the parsimony analysis: the fourth seta of the basal group was lost (character 11, state 1) and the reduced seta appeared (character 12, state 1) at the node of Goniosoma. This codification was preferred for matters of simplification. 13 Penis, glans ventral process [ ;0-4]: 0 with apical lamina inserted by base, with projections 1 with apical lamina inserted by base, without projections 2 thin, without apical lamina 3 absent 4 with apical lamina inserted by center, with projections The ventral process can be absent or present, with variation in the shape of the apical lamina and in its insertion on the stem. State 1 appears as a synapomorphy of Goniosoma, with a reduction to thin (state 2) at the node Goniosoma varium + + G. vatrax + (ACCTRAN), and the process is lost (state 3), twice: in G. roridum + G. venustum and in G. vatrax. In Heteromitobates the process changes from state 0 to Penis, glans stylus shape of apex: 0 round 1 with a dorsal apical beak
