Stenochrus portoricensis,Zomus bagnalliiand a new genus of schizomids (Schizomida: Hubbardiidae) from a greenhouse in Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Schizomids are an understudied order of arachnids mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas, although three species have been accidentally introduced into Europe: Stenochrus portoricensis Chamberlin, 1922, Schizomus crassicaudatus (O.P.-Cambridge, 1872) and Zomus bagnallii ( Jackson, 1908) (Reddell & Cokendolpher 1995, Harvey 2003, Korenko et al. 2009, Nedvěd et al. 2011, Christophoryová et al. 2013, Zawierucha et al., 2013) (Tab.1).From German greenhouses, Cokendolpher et al. (2006) and Blick et al. (2006) recorded further undetermined schizomids from Frankfurt am Main.As a result of several samplings during 2012-2014 in the wet tropical section of a greenhouse in Frankfurt am Main, the second author (SR) collected schizomid specimens belonging to three species, one of which represents a new genus and species, which are herein described.
