Dear Colleagues,
With Emmanuel Delfosse, we are happy to say you that our book on the identification of harvestmen of Northern France (55 taxa) is available to the Linnean Society of Bordeaux (Société Linnéenne de Bordeaux in French); we include the English abstract below in more of the French pdf available here, which include a view of the cover and one page of a key: http://linneenne-bordeaux.pagesperso-orange.fr/Memoire_17-Opilions.pdf
The book is in French but is very pratical to use, with the same presentation as the book on centipedes of Northern France that I have published last year (http://www.gretia.org/dossiers_liens/lassoc/revue/Flyer13_fr_hr.pdf). It will be also very useful for Belgium, Luxembourg, etc. Please write to the Linnean Society for the postal cost of your country (linneen...@wanadoo.fr).
Abstract: This book begin by a brief general introduction to the world of Opiliones, where we learn, between other informations, that the main book concerning specifically the identification of the French fauna of harvestmen has been published in 1879. It give a presentation of the main useful bibliographic references to study French Opiliones, and the methods of capture and collection. It give also a commented list of known and potentially existing species in Northern France, which include the following regions: Alsace, Franche-Comté, Lorraine, Champagne-Ardenne, Burgundy, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Picardie, Ile-de-France, Haute-Normandie, Basse-Normandie, Centre, Brittany and Pays de la Loire. Presently, 40 species have been formally found in the concerned area, and 15 other taxa are potentially present in the same. The necessary morphological criteria to identify species are detailed. We give identification keys for the 55 quoted taxa: a key of harvestmen families and keys of species for each family. These identification keys have been written and ordered to be very practical to use; more than 210 figures, of which the majority are colored magnified pictures, are included. Moreover, 11 « index cards » of easier identification on the basis of three criteria are given for 10 taxa. The included keys will be also very useful to identify the Opiliones fauna of surrounding countries like Belgium and the Luxemburg.
All the best and good reading,
Étienne
