Nazaré, 481, São Paulo, SP, Brazil C Corresponding author. ricrocha@usp.br Abstract. Sodreaninae is reviewed and all ten species are combined under its type genus, Sodreana Mello-Leitão, 1922, according to a cladistic analysis of morphological characters, which revealed a pectinate pattern of clades. The subfamily is endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest from Santa Catarina state to Rio de Janeiro state. Sodreana is herein considered a senior synonym of Stygnobates Mello-Leitão, 1927, Zortalia Mello-Leitão, 1936, Gertia B. Soares & H. Soares, 1946 and Annampheres H. Soares, The following new combinations are proposed: Sodreana barbiellinii (Mello-Leitão, 1927), Sodreana hatschbachi (B. Soares & H. Soares, 1946), Sodreana inscripta (Mello-Leitão, 1939), Sodreana leprevosti (B. Soares & H. Soares, 1947b), Sodreana bicalcarata (Mello-Leitão, 1936). Sodreana granulata (Mello-Leitão, 1937) is revalidated from the synonymy of Sodreana sodreana Mello-Leitão, Three new species are described: Sodreana glaucoi from Ilhabela and Boraceia, São Paulo state; S. curupira from Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos, Rio de Janeiro state, and S. caipora from Ubatuba, São Paulo state. Sodreaninae species are restricted to forested areas and most occur in the southern part of the coastal Atlantic rainforest, one species occurs in interior Atlantic rainforest. The biogeographical analysis (Brooks Parsimony Analysis) resulted in a single and fully resolved most parsimonious tree with three main: components: northern (Bahia and Serra do Espinhaço), southern (Santa Catarina, Paraná, Serra do Mar of São Paulo), and central (Espírito Santo, Serra da Bocaina, southern state of Rio de Janeiro, Serra dos Órgãos, Serra da Mantiqueira, Serra do Mar of São Paulo). Introduction The family Gonyleptidae, the largest among the Laniatores families, possesses 16 subfamilies and 823 described species (Kury 2003). Gonyleptidae is exclusively neotropical and the richest and most abundant family of harvestmen in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest, with ~600 species exclusive to this biome (Pinto-da-Rocha et al. 2005; Kury and Pinto-da-Rocha 2007). The subfamily Sodreaninae represents one of the nine subfamilies of Gonyleptidae that are endemic to the Atlantic rainforest and it has one of the narrowest distributions among opilionid nonmonotypic subfamilies of the Neotropical region. They have been recorded from south south-east Brazil only in the coastal Atlantic rainforest and marginal interior Atlantic rainforest from the state of Rio de Janeiro to Santa Catarina state (Kury 2003; Pinto-da-Rocha et al. 2005). Five species in four genera are currently described for Sodreaninae (Kury 2003), demonstrating the fragility of the classification system established by Carl Friederich Roewer, a prolific German opilionid taxonomist. In his system, a fixed number of characters is selected and the combination of some are used to establish subfamilies, genera and species. Although simple and predictable, this system results in taxonomical confusion due to subjectivity, a great number of monotypic genera, and additional characters being neglected for inclusion. Some groups of Neotropical harvestmen have received adequate treatment during the last two decades, with systematic revisions including type material and examination of a large number of specimens, as well as cladistic analysis performed with large datasets from external morphology and male genitalia (Pinto-da- Rocha 1997, 2002; Acosta 2001; Pinto-da-Rocha and Kury 2003; Yamaguti and Pinto-da-Rocha 2009; DaSilva and Gnaspini 2010; DaSilva and Pinto-da-Rocha 2010). The subfamily Sodreaninae was proposed by Soares and Soares (1985) to allocate gonyleptids with elongate pedipalps that had previously been placed in Caelopyginae, Gonyleptinae and Stygnicranainae (the latter currently belongs to Cranaidae; see Orrico and Kury 2009). The original diagnosis included pedipalps at least twice as long as the body, with cylindrical and unarmed femur and patella, and a low number of articles on leg tarsi. The type genus, Sodreana Mello-Leitão, 1922, was originally described in Caelopyginae, based on the erroneous observation of pectinate claws on legs III and IV, and was posteriorly transferred to Gonyleptinae once this was corrected (Soares 1943). Another similar taxon, the monotypic Theliospelta Mello-Leitão, 1937, was described in Gonyleptinae. Gertia, was described from Paraná in Stygnicranainae (Soares and Soares 1946). Stygnobates Mello-Leitão, 1927 was initially described without being included in any subfamily, but one year before, it CSIRO 29 April /IS /10/060509

2 510 Invertebrate Systematics R. Pinto-da-Rocha and C. Bragagnolo had been cited in a key (nomen nudum) for Mitobatinae, a placement that was followed by Roewer (1931). Posteriorly, it was transferred to Stygnicranainae based on the long and thin pedipalps and legs (Mello-Leitão 1932). Zortalia Mello-Leitão, 1936 was described in Gonyleptinae and posteriorly transferred to Stygnicranainae by the same author (Mello-Leitão 1939). Soares (1979) described Annampheres from Rio de Janeiro and, based on body colour and pedipalp shape, placed it in Caelopyginae, even though it possessed smooth claws on legs III and IV (Soares 1979: fig. 12). Soares and Soares (1985) synonymised Annampheres with Stygnobates and Theliospelta with Sodreana and placed both along with Gertia and Sphaerobunus Roewer, 1917 (a genus previously assigned to Gonyleptinae with moderately long pedipalps) in the subfamily Sodreaninae, even though they did not redescribe the genera (Soares and Soares 1985). Posteriorly, Kury (1992) transferred Stygnobates to Progonyleptoidellinae H. Soares & B. Soares, 1985, based on characters of male genitalia, and later Kury (2003) transferred it to Sodreaninae. Kury also removed Sphaerobunus from the subfamily and transferred it to Gonyleptinae (Kury 2003). Currently, the latter is a junior synonym of Acrogonyleptes Roewer, 1917, and is considered a member of Hernandariinae (DaSilva and Pinto-da-Rocha 2010). The main scope of the present paper is to provide a cladistic hypothesis of relationships and a taxonomic revision of the species of Sodreaninae. Materials and methods Material studied Material (including undetermined specimens and types) from the following Brazilian collections was studied: 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). Description and figures Species descriptions follow the order of the cladogram (Fig. 1). Female characters are described only when they differ from those of males. Terminology follows DaSilva and Gnaspini (2010): (1) granule short elevation (height = diameter), usually present in large numbers in the same structure covering it rather homogeneously; (2) tubercle blunt elevation, somewhat taller than granules when compared on the same structure; (3) spine pointed elevation, generally taller than tubercles; (4) apophysis irregularly shaped structure, generally larger than those above, which occurs mainly at coxa, trochanter and apex of the femur of the appendages. Measurements are in millimetres. Abbreviations in the synonymic lists are as follows: bion, bionomics; cat, catalogue; cit, citation; clad, cladistic analysis; desc, description; diagn, diagnosis; dist, distribution; ecol, ecology; misid, misidentification; redesc, redescription; syst, systematics. Drawings were made using a Leica stereomicroscope (model MZ APO, Heerbrugg, Switzerland) with a camera lucida. The penes were prepared following Pinto-da-Rocha (1997). The structures were observed and photographed with a Leica Leo 440 scanning electron microscope, at the Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de São Paulo. Cladistic and biogeographic analyses For the cladistic analysis, we included all 10 species recognised as belonging to Sodreaninae, the ones previously known plus the new species described here. Terminal names take into account the resulting cladogram and subsequent taxonomic revision presented here. As outgroups, we used 12 species from five subfamilies of Gonyleptidae: Cobania picea (Bertkau, 1880) (Cobaniinae); Sphaerobunus fulvigranulatus (Mello-Leitão, 1922) and Gonyleptes horridus Kirby, 1818 ( Gonyleptinae ); Multumbo terrenus Roewer, 1927 and Hernandaria una (Mello-Leitão, 1922) (Hernandariinae); Caelopygus elegans (Perty, 1833) and Arthrodes xanthopygus Kollar in Koch, 1839 (Caelopyginae); and Iporangaia pustulosa Mello-Leitão, 1935, Mitopernoides variabilis B. Soares, 1945, Iguapeia melanocephala Mello- Leitão, 1935, Progonyleptoidellus orguensis (Soares & Soares, 1954) and Progonyleptoidellus striatus (Roewer, 1913) (Progonyleptoidellinae). Seventy-five characters (listed in Appendix 1 and summarised in Table 1) that have been traditionally used in cladistic analysis of harvestmen, especially concerning Neotropical groups (e.g. by Pinto-da-Rocha 1997, 2002), were used here. Many of these characters are related to penis anatomy and to the ornamentation and armature of male legs and dorsal scutum. Characters that appeared to be especially useful for the analysis of Sodreaninae have also been added. We preferred the use of binary states (following, for instance, Strong and Lipscomb 1999). The multistate characters were not polarised a priori. The characters were polarised simultaneously between outgroups and ingroup (following, e.g. Nixon and Carpenter 1993). 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. The character matrix was edited using NDE (Page 2001). Parsimony analysis was done in TNT version 1.0 (Goloboff et al. 2003), using 1000 rounds of Wagner addition followed by TBR (tree bisection and reconnection). Bremer support indices (Bremer 1994) were calculated for each node of the proposed phylogenetic hypothesis in TNT. We also carried out implied weighting (Goloboff 1993) under six concavity values (k =1 6) in TNT. This analysis attributes higher values to characters that fit better (fc) in trees, searching for trees with the highest total fit. The search strategy was similar to the one done for equal weights. A primary Brooks Parsimony Analysis (BPA; see Brooks et al. 2001) using the same parameters and software as for the unweighted cladistic analysis was conducted. We performed an analysis using the 98 species of gonyleptids in Yamaguti and Pinto-da-Rocha (2009) with updated species distributions and cladistic hypothesis for the Sodreaninae (including the new species here described). Results of the cladistic analysis The structures that were the most informative were the ornamentation and armature of the legs (30 characters), dorsal

Structures such as the penis or the armature of pedipalps, traditionally associated with higher phylogenetic structure, represented only few characters but were also informative (8 characters each). The analysis resulted in a single most parsimonious fully resolved tree (Fig. 1). The tree has a length (L) of 210 steps, a consistency index (CI) of 0.42, and a retention index (RI) of In this tree Sodreaninae is recovered as a monophyletic group. Sodreaninae is supported by eight nonambiguous (optimisation independent; according to De Pinna 1991) character states, only two of which are non-ambiguous (27(0): abdomen with low density of granules, and 31(1): first tubercle near ozopores bifid and geniculated). The highest Bremer support was obtained for all Sodreaninae (7) and a clade of Sodreana spp. (5) with mammilliform elevation on male area III and female with two geminate spines (S. glaucoi, sp. nov., S. sodreana and S. granulata). Other clades have Bremer support

5 Harvestman Sodreaninae: systematics and cladistics Invertebrate Systematics 513 values between 1 and 3. The topology resulted in a pectinate pattern of four basal branches with one species each followed by two monophyletic groups, with three species each. These derived clades included the type species of Sodreana and Gertia, respectively. In the classification here proposed, we tried to avoid a high number of monotypic genera for basal branches (two new species plus Zortalia and Stygnobates). Thus, our proposal assigns all species to the genus Sodreana, making it redundant with the subfamily. This is compatible with Soares and Soares (1985), who did not revise the generic classification, but only recognised them as belonging to a subfamily. The diagnostic features proposed by Soares and Soares (1985) to recognise Sodreaninae were a combination of characters: a cylindrical, unarmed pedipalp at least twice as long as dorsal scutum. Two main morphological diagnostic features appear to support all species of Sodreaninae, except S. curupira, sp. nov.: 4(2) pedipalp femur longer than dorsal scute, and 22(1) white grooves on areas I IV of dorsal scute. The most basal species of the subfamily, S. curupira, sp. nov., has an intermediate elongation of pedipalps between typical sodreanines and the Progonyleptoidellinae + Caelopyginae clade. However, it shares several features that characterise it as a sodreanine, such as the elongated coxa and patella of the pedipalp (characters 3(1) and 6(1), respectively). The results of the implied weighting analysis using six concavity values resulted in multiple trees. Concavities k = 1 4 resulted in seven trees (see Accessory Publication on Invertebrate Systematics website) and k =5 6 in one tree (length of unweighted characters of 214 for k = 1, 212 for k = 2 4, k =5 6). The topology obtained with k =5 6 is the same as that obtained with equal weighting search (see Fig. 1). However, lower concavity values (k =1 4) generated alternative topologies. The main differences observed were a polytomy of S. barbiellinii, S. hatschbachi and S. caipora and a tricotomy composed of S. inscripta, S. leprevosti and the monophyletic group with tuberculate hump on area III (S. glaucoi, sp. nov., S. sodreana and S. granulata). The basal clade composed of S. curupira, sp. nov. and S. bicalcarata remained unchanged. Concerning the outgroups, a single difference was observed under k = 1. In this tree Iguapeia melanocephala (Progonyleptoidellinae) is sister to Caelopyginae. Other concavities and equal weighting resulted in a monophyletic group that includes the type species of the subfamily Progonyleptoidellinae and the monotypic genera, Iguapeia, Mitopernoides and Iporangaia. We stress that support for this subfamily is low (Bremer = 1) when excluding Progonyleptoidellus orguensis. However, it is beyond the scope of this work to discuss the monophyly of this subfamily. Pinto-da-Rocha (2002) related Sodreaninae to Hernandariinae, Caelopyginae and Progonyleptoidellinae based mainly on pedipalp characters. Nevertheless, Pinto-da- Rocha (2002) and Kury (1992) pointed towards the relationship between these four subfamilies and Gonyleptinae based mainly on the general pattern of the penis and pedipalp. In Da Silva and Pinto-da-Rocha (2010), Hernandariinae is the sister group of two species of Gonyleptinae and this clade was related to these other subfamilies. In the present study, Sodreaninae is the sister group of Progonyleptoidellinae + Caelopyginae, as supported by five characters: 7(1) sockets of pedipalpal tibia setae elongated, 8(1) pedipalpal tarsus biconvex, 9(2) venter of pedipalpal tarsus with two rows of wide and short setae, 26(1) spines of area III with rounded apex on male, 75(1) apical setae on penis ventral plate helicoidal. Under the present hypothesis, Hernandariinae forms a clade with Gonyleptinae, based in five synapomorphies, one of these unambiguous, the absence of a scopula (67(1)). This clade is sister to the remaining terminals that represent a monophyletic group including Progonyleptoidellinae (paraphyletic in this study by the presence of Progonyleptoidellus orguensis as sister group of Caelopyginae + Progonyleptoidellinae + Sodreaninae). Thus, in the same way as in DaSilva and Pinto-da-Rocha (2010), the grouping of these four subfamilies (Sodreaninae, Hernandariinae, Caelopyginae and Progonyleptoidellinae) was not corroborated in this phylogenetic analysis. We refrain from synonymising the monogeneric subfamily Sodreaninae and paraphyletic Progonyleptoidellinae with widely defined Caelopyginae to solve taxonomic problems and Linnean redundancy, because a characterisation of Progonylepoidellinae, which is in preparation by the senior author, is beyond the scope of this study.

Femur straight, with one dorsal and one retrolateral row of minute tubercles. Geographic distribution The type locality of Sodreana sodreana was stated as Petrópolis. However, this species was never recorded again from Rio de Janeiro state. The Serra dos Órgãos, where Petrópolis is located, is one of the most sampled localities in Rio de Janeiro state. Curiously, in the same paper in which S. sodreana was described (Mello-Leitão 1922), eight species were described from Alto da Serra São Paulo, a locality were S. sodreana is abundant. The holotype matches perfectly with material from Alto da Serra and we believe the types were mislabelled.

Diagnosis Similar to S. sodreana and S. glaucoi, sp. nov. in the presence of a tuberculate elevation in area III and shape of the apical prolateral apophysis of male coxa IV, which has a bifid apex and dorsal branch larger and slightly facing downward. Sodreana granulata is distinguished from these species by the armature of femur IV of males, which has a median dense row of prolateral blunt tubercles, by the presence of two low tubercles in the ocularium, and by the colouration, only the posterior ridge of area IV is white. Taxonomic note This species was synonymised with S. sodreana by Soares and Soares (1985) on the basis of several similarities related to armature of area III and male leg IV. Although similar and closely related, S. granulata differs from S. sodreana in ocularium armature, and strong curvature of the row of blunt prolateral tubercles of male femur IV. Both species are parapatric. S. granulata occurs in interior Atlantic rainforest and S. sodreana in coastal Atlantic rainforest (Figs 13, 14). Redescription of male (MZSP-22319) Measurements (n = 5).

Trochanter IV densely tuberculate, with one retrolateral apical spiniform apophysis. Femur straight, with one dorsal and one retrolateral row of spiniform tubercles, basal ones larger. Geographic distribution (Fig. 13A) Coast of Atlantic rainforest between Paraná and São Paulo states. Biogeography The ten Sodreaninae species discussed in this paper are restricted to forested areas and occur in the southern part of the coastal Atlantic rainforest, between the states of Rio de Janeiro and Santa Catarina. The only exception is Sodreana granulata, which lives in the interior Atlantic rainforest of the state of São Paulo, a region which has no exclusive species and is not recognised here as a distinct area of endemism. Sodreaninae species are found in six areas of endemism proposed by Pintoda-Rocha et al. (2005): Serra dos Órgãos (Org, Sodreana curupira, sp. nov. and S. bicalcarata); northern São Paulo and

Only three species (Sodreana sodreana, S. glaucoi, sp. nov., and S. leprevosti) are found in two adjacent areas. One unpublished record of an undescribed Sodreaninae from Serra do Caparaó (Espirito Santo state) and Serra do Brigadeiro (Minas Gerais state, M. Da-Silva pers. comm.) extends the distribution northwards. However, this species is not described here because only females have been collected so far. The Atlantic rainforest covered almost all the eastern coast of Brazil 500 years ago, from the states of Rio Grande do Norte to Rio Grande do Sul. At present, Atlantic rainforest is extremely fragmented and only 7% of the original coverage remains (Morellato and Haddad 2000). The spatial range of remaining rainforest results in variation in characteristics, from very humid conditions near the coast, to drier conditions and less diverse plant species in the interior, or from consistently high temperatures near the equator, to cooler winters in southern areas
