Resumo: | The Onychophora represent a rare group of invertebrates whose phylogenetic position is important in understanding the origin and evolution of the arthropods. These animals generally inhabit humid tropical forests and caves, and can vary in size from 2.5-20cm. The present study reports the occurrence of an onychophoran belonging to the genus Peripatus. The specimen was collected fortuitously in June, 2007, at Mata do Açude Cafundó (07º10’49”S and 35º05’39”W), a remnant area of Atlantic Forest situated in the municipality of Cruz do Espírito Santo, Paraíba State, northeastern Brazil. This represents the fi rst report of an onychophoran from a remnant forest area in Paraíba, extending the northern distribution of this taxon, and is only the seventh report of an onychophoran in an Atlantic Forest remnant north of the mouth of the São Francisco River. A data bank will be needed in order to adequately document the distributions, population sizes, degrees of isolation, and habitat quality of known species of onychophorans from this sector of the Atlantic Forest. |

Os Onychophora são invertebrados raros cuja posição filogenética é muito importante para a compreensão da origem e evolução dos artrópodes. Esses animais habitam predominantemente florestas úmidas e cavernas e possuem um tamanho que pode variar de 2,5-20cm. Neste estudo é registrada a ocorrência de um onicóforo pertencente ao gênero Peripatus. O espécime foi coletado casualmente na Mata do açude Cafundó (07º10’49”S e 35º05’39”W), um remanescente de Mata Atlântica situado no município de Cruz do Espírito Santo, Estado da Paraíba, Nordeste brasileiro, em junho de 2007. É o primeiro registro de um onicóforo para um remanescente fl orestal da Paraíba o que amplia a distribuição norte do táxon na Mata Atlântica litorânea, e representa a sétima ocorrência ao norte do Rio São Francisco. A formação de um banco de dados sobre os onicóforos da Mata Atlântica ao norte do São Francisco é imprescindível para categorizar adequadamente cada espécie quanto a sua distribuição, tamanho populacional, nível de isolamento, área e qualidade dos seus habitats.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2011-09-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2008v21n2p16110.5007/2175-7925.2008v21n2p161Biotemas; v. 21 n. 2 (2008); 161-1632175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2008v21n2p161/18983Copyright (c) 2008 Gindomar Gomes Santana, Waltécio de Oliveira Almeida, Rômulo Romeu da Nóbrega Alves, Alexandre Vasconcellosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantana, Gindomar GomesAlmeida, Waltécio de OliveiraAlves, Rômulo Romeu da NóbregaVasconcellos, Alexandre2018-03-07T18:14:07Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/20914Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2018-03-07T18:14:07Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
