First Time

Strumigenys fairchildi Brown, 1961 is recorded for the first time in Brazil. This ant species was previously known only from a few specimens collected in Costa Rica, Panama and Ecuador. The worker S. fairchildi was collected at the Parque Estadual do Cristalino, a continuous area of Amazon tropical rain forest protected for biodiversity conservation in the municipality of Novo Mundo, Mato Grosso state. In addition, we present a distribution map and high-resolution images of the worker.

Unidentified Species

Moss samples collected near the research station “La Selva” on the edge of Costa Rican tropical rain forest has yielded three species of Tardigrada: Hypsibius pallidus Thulin, Astatumen trinacriae (Arcidiacono) and Macrobiotus polyopus Marcus. Another three unidentified species from the genus Macrobiotus were also found. All identified species are new for Costa Rica. A key to the identification of all known species from Costa Rica is given.
