cifically treated with regard to this group (e.g. Pavesi 1875; Kritscher 1958; Groppali & Pesarini 2002) and other records are scattered in general works (e.g. Costa 1835; Silvestri 1917; Dresco 1949; Parenzan 1953; Dresco 1963; Capolongo 1969; Brignoli 1971b, 1971c, 1972; Capolongo et al. 1974; Brignoli 1977, 1985). 14 species were previously recorded from the Vesuvius National Park; approximately 150 specimens, belonging to 30 species, were recently collected in the Park. These records, though fragmentary, contribute to a better faunistic knowledge of Campania: 13 species are newly recorded from this region and 6 from southern mainland Italy. The recovery of four species (Zelotes denapes, Trabea paradoxa, Ozyptila confluens, Zoropsis oertzeni) the Italian distribution of which is still poorly known is of particular interest. Future and more diversified collections would allow to considerably increase the number of species. REFERENCES Bosmans R., 1997. Revision of the genus Zodarion Walckenaer, 1833, part II.

2. Order Pseudoscorpiones Giulio GARDINI Pseudoscorpions are predacious, terrestrial arachnids occurring in nearly all epi- and hypogean habitats of the temperate and tropical regions of the Earth. Many species are bark-dwellers but most live in the soil, being a constant and important component of the soil mesofauna. Over a sixth of the 3,270 nominal species described by 2005 are cave-dwellers, many of which display extraordinary troglomorphic features. Currently, 217 species are recorded for Italy (Gardini 2000 and unpublished) but our knowledge is certainly still patchy, from both a taxonomic – especially for the most species-rich genera Chthonius C.L. Koch, 1843 (Chthoniidae), Neobisium Chamberlin, 1930 and Roncus L. Koch, 1873 (Neobisiidae) – and faunistic point of view. The systematic order adopted here is that used by Gardini (1995b), and all material is kept in the author’s collection. CHELIFERIDAE

Mediterranean species known from all Italian regions; it lives under stones and bark, and is typical of xericthermophilic Mediterranean formations; however, it is also a rare inhabitant of submontane oak-forest (Quercus cerris and Q. pubescens) in inland Apennine areas and northern regions. CHTHONIIDAE Chthonius ischnocheles (Hermann, 1804) SMaria P+ Europeo-Anatolian-Macaronesian species, introduced to the eastern coast of the United States and to St Helens; it occurs in all Italian regions and is known from localities in the Naples province (Gardini 2000). It is euryecious and euryzonal, common in anthropized habitats and occurs in both natural and artificial cavities. Chthonius jonicus Beier, 1931 Torre del Greco, Camaldoli della Torre, 29.IX.1982, G. Gardini & S. Zoia leg., wh, Vg, 7 ♂♂, 17 ♀♀, 6 tritonymphs, 1 deutonymph (Gardini 1995a). N-Mediterranean-Macaronesian species occurring, in Italy, in Marches, Molise, Campania, Apulia, Calabria, Sicily and the Aeolian Islands (Gardini 2000). It is probably stenoecious, preferring plant detritus in xeric-thermophilic formations. Chthonius siculus Beier, 1961 Torre del Greco, Camaldoli della Torre, 29.IX.1982, G. Gardini & S. Zoia leg., wh, Vg, 1 ♂, 1 ♀, 2 tritonymphs, 1 deutonymph. This species is new for the Campania region, but its distribution needs verifying following redescription of types and checking of material on which Italian (Pontine Islands and Apulia), Greek and Spanish literature records are based (Harvey 1991; Gardini 2000); records of this species from caves in south Sardinia (Beier 1973; Gardini 1980) turned out being wrong after close examination of the material in question. Chthonius siculus is a likely epigean leaf litter inhabitant of Mediterranean maquis.

The pseudoscorpion fauna of Campania is among the most poorly known in Italy. Of the 217 species currently recorded for Italy, only 20 are mentioned

SHORT NOTES

from Campania; this region is followed by Abruzzi (18 species), Basilicata and Umbria (10), Marches (9), and Molise (8). Four Campanian species are of some interest: Chthonius (Chthonius) stammeri Beier, 1942 (recent troglobitic endemic of Monti Alburni), Paraliochthonius singularis (Menozzi, 1924) (N–Mediterranean halobiont described from the Portici littoral), Neobisium (Ommatoblothrus) cf. samniticum Mahnert, 1980 (troglobitic populations of Monti del Matese of unclear taxonomic position) and Pselaphochernes italicus Beier, 1966 (a bark-dweller decribed from Scavi di Velia (Salerno province) and later cited for Sardinia). The only noteworthy record in such a poor framework of knowledge is the presence in Vesuvius National Park of Chthonius siculus, here newly recorded for Campania. REFERENCES Beier M., 1973.

Sardinia and many small islands. The nomenclature follows Fet & Sissom (2000). Euscorpius flavicaudis flavicaudis (De Geer, 1778) EColata P+ ERimbos P+ TFunivia R+ Euscorpius flavicaudis (fig. 3.1) belongs to the subgenus Tetrathricobothrius due to the presence of 4 trichobothria (+ Et1) on the ventral surface of the pedipalp patella. This scorpion’s habitat range was known to be from sea level to around 600 m a.s.l. (Crucitti et al. 1998), and it is distributed from north to southwestern Italy, including the Tuscan Archipelago and Sardinia (Vignoli & Crucitti 2003). The presence of E. flavicaudis around 1000 meters a.s.l. in the studied area reveals a greater tolerance to temperature than previously known for this species. Euscorpius flavicaudis can also colonize habitats very close to the seashore and is therefore considered a halophilous species (Vachon 1951). It is not a highly specialized taxon. It can be found under bark, rotten trees or stones, but is mostly present in anthropized areas. The species was mentioned by Di Caporiacco (1950) and by Bonacina & Rivellini (1986) for the province of Naples. The latter authors studied a localized oligotrichous morphotype from Salerno that was described as a subspecies: E. flavicaudis cereris Bonacina & Rivellini, 1986. At Portici, on the border of the Park, E. flavicaudis is preyed upon by the little owl (Athene noctua (Scopoli, 1769)) (Moschetti & Mancini 1993).

3. Scorpiones, EUSCORPIIDAE Valerio VIGNOLI Euscorpiidae are hygrophilous and characterized by a significant eurytopic ecology. The genus Euscorpius Thorell, 1876 is comprised of four subgenera (Polythricobothrius Birula, 1917; Tetrathricobothrius Birula, 1917; Euscorpius; Alpiscorpius Gantenbein et al., 1999) and 16 species (Vignoli 2006). It is widespread from the Iberian region to south-western Russia. Euscorpius is considered a complicated taxonomic group with the presence of cryptic species, high polymorphism and several highly localized morphotypes; the taxonomy of this scorpion taxon is still not clear (Fet et al. 2003; Vignoli et al. 2005). In Italy all the subgenera are represented, for a total of 8 species distributed along the entire country including Sicily,

CRUSTACEA 4. Order Isopoda, Suborder Oniscidea Alessandro CAMPANARO Isopods are the most diverse taxon of Peracarida, including more than 10,400 species (Schotte 2006) distributed worldwide and mostly marine. The suborder Oniscidea comprises strictly terrestrial species characterized by a broad spectrum of adaptations: they occur in leaf litter, forest canopy, sand, rocks, dead wood, caves and desert habitats, and several species are myrmecophilic. The Italian fauna includes 348 species (Argano et al. 1995). 386

Terrestrial isopods feed on decaying organic matter and play a key role in the soil ecosystem (Paoletti & Hassal 1999). Some species are good biogeographical indicators due to their scarce vagility and restricted ecological valence; others are used as bioindicators of heavy-metal contamination (Hassal et al. 2005). The nomenclature follows Schmalfuss (2003), information about distributional ranges and habitats are taken from Vandel (1960, 1962), Schmalfuss (2003) and personal observations. Prof. R. Argano (Dipartimento di Biologia Animale e dell’Uomo, Università degli Studi “La Sapienza”, Rome, Italy) is kindly thanked for the determination of the samples. All material is stored in CNBF collection. ARMADILLIDIIDAE Armadillidium sp. Grotticella di Torre del Greco (Brian 1957; Capolongo et al. 1974, as “ Cavità vesuviane di Sud-Ovest 854 Cp”).

SHORT NOTES

TRICHONISCIDAE Trichoniscus matulici Verhoeff, 1901 Cavità vesuviane di Sud-Ovest 854 Cp (Brian 1959). Torre del Greco, Grotta della Fontana o del Dragone 193 Cp (Brian 1959). Troglophilic species with a trans-Adriatic distribution: southern Italy, Sicily, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro.

The eleven species listed above are mainly common ones. The only significant datum, in a biogeographical sense, is that referring to Bathytropa granulata. Certainly, the list presented is an under-estimate of the real isopod diversity in the Vesuvius area. This could be due to the sampling method, pitfall traps, which is not appropriate for collecting this group as these traps do not intercept several endogean, myrmecophilic and scarcely mobile species. Further research focused on the study of the isopod fauna in the Vesuvius National Park as well as the entire Campania region is strictly recommended; the available data for this region are in fact scarce and dated.

INSECTA 5. Coleoptera, ANOBIIDAE Gianluca NARDI About 2,200 species of Anobiidae occur worldwide (Philips 2002). The larvae of many species are xylophagous or scavengers. A few species develop in thistle heads, umbellifer stalks, galls, hard fungi, book bindings, stored products (e.g. tobacco, spices, cereals) and in the dung of herbivorous mammals (cf. Español 1992; Philips 2002). From Italy about 190 species of Anobiidae (Ptininae included) are known (cf. Audisio et al. 1995; Zahradník 2005). The nomenclature follows Zahradník (2005), except for Metholcus cylindricus (Germar, 1817) (cf. Nardi & Ratti 1995). Hemicoelus fulvicornis (Sturm, 1837) EOsserv R+ A European species which reachs eastwards the Caucasus and Anatolia; in Italy is recorded from northern and central regions, Campania and Sardinia (cf.
