Abstract

An annotated synopsis is presented of the publications which offer species checklists and catalogs of the arachnid orderOpiliones. Catalogs and checklists are included if they cover both (1) a suprafamilial group and (2) a country, continentalor zoogeographical region. Standardized information is given on the number of species treated and the taxonomic and geo-graphic scope. A total of 100 catalog works (7 of which are online only) are listed. They record from 4 to 6125 species,and they are classified into 3 categories: (1) manuals, which contain diagnoses and keys, (2) catalogs, which contain no-menclatural acts and synonymic literature headings and (3) checklists, which contain only a species list. Finally, a synopsisof key systematic works for each area in each zoogeographical region is given, and a species count is provided for all zogeographical regions of the world.
