Pseudoscorpiones[1] sunt ordo arthropodum classis Arachnidorum.[2] Homines magnopere adiuvant, quia larvas Tineolae bisselliellae et dermestidarum, psocoptera, formicidas, acaros, et parva diptera praedantur. Minuti sunt, et raro videntur propter eorum magnitudinem, quamquam in multis circumiectis abundant. Cum homines eos videantur, praecipue intus, saepe ixodida parvaeque araneae false putantur. Pseudoscorpiones phoresiam saepe faciunt, genus commensalismi, cum unus organismus alio ad se transvehendum utatur.

Proprietates

recensere

Pseudoscorpiones sunt parva arachnida, corpore complanato et pyriformi, pedipalpisque qui pedipalporum scorpionum similes sunt. A duobus ad octo millimetra longi plerumque sunt.[3] Maxima species descripta est Garypus titanius Insulae Ascensionis[4] usque ad 12 mm longi.[5][6] Magnitudo media est 3 fere millimetra.[7]

Pseudoscorpionis sunt octo crura, quoque in quinis ad septenis segmentis consistens; numero segmentorum fusorum familiae et genera distinguuntur. Eis sunt bini pedipalpi longissimi, chelis palpalibus (forcipibus) praediti, qui forficum scorpionis admodum similes sunt.

 
Chelifer cancroides.
 
Chelifer cancroides.
 
Pseudoscorpio in Civitatibus Foederatis.
 
Pseudoscorpio phoreticus super dipterum in Germania.
 
Chelifer cancroides ("scorpio librorum") super librum apertum.
 
Coloratae pseudoscorpionis adumbrationes.

Pedipalpi plerumque in manibus immobilibus digitisque mobilibus consistunt, quorum hic a musculo adductionis continetur. Glandula ductusque veneni plerumque in digito mobili inveniuntur, unde veneno praedam immobilem faciunt. Per digestionem super praedam fluidum aliquantulum corrosivum exudant, tum liquefacta corporis reliquia ingerunt.

Abdomen, opisthosoma rite in zoologia appellatum, in duodecim segmentis consistit, quorum quodque a lamina sclerotizata (tergites supra, sternites infra appellata) protegitur. Abdomen est breve et in parte posteriori rotundum, potius quam in caudam segmentatam et aculeum extendens, ut in scorpionibus veris. Color corporis ab adusto flavo tincto ad atrofuscum est, unguibus autem saepe aliter coloratis. Eis sunt bini, quattuor, aut nulli oculi.[6]

Pseudoscorpions sericum ex glandula inter maxillas emittunt ad globulos disciformes faciendos ut coeant, cutem novam ponant, caeloque frigido resistant. Eis autem non sunt pulmones biblioformes et tetrapulmonata scorpionum verorum; potius, solum per tracheas spirant, quae lateraliter per bina spiracula paria in posterioribus marginibus sternitum segmentorum abdominalium tertii et quartii aperiunt.[8]

Plus quam 3300 specierum pseudoscorpionum in plus quam 430 genera digeruntur, et exempla nova saepe inveniuntur. Omnem per orbem terrarum extenduntur, etiam in regionibus a temperatis ad frigidas sicut Ontario septentrionalis, et super lineam materiae in Montibus Saxosis Vyominae in Civitatibus Foederatis et Cavernis Jenolan Australiae, sed multitudines densissimae et pervariae in regionibus tropicis et subtropicis habitant, ubi etiam ad insulas sicut Canarias Insulas extenduntur, ubi circiter viginti quinque species endemicae inveniuntur.[9] Etiam in insulis Melitensibus sunt duae species endemicae.[10] Species sub cortice arborum, in detritu foliorum et pinorum, in solo, in foraminibus in arboribus, sub lapidibus, in cavernis sicut Caverna Movile, ad litus in zona interaestuaria, intra saxa fissa inveniuntur.[3][11]

Commemorationes historicae

recensere

Pseudoscorpiones primum ab Aristotele descripti sunt, qui eos fortasse inter volumina in bibliotheca invenit, ubi psocopteris vescissentur. Robertus Hooke hoc animal Land-Crab ('brachyurum terrestre') in libro Micrographia (1665) appellavit. Annis 1780, Georgius Adams "insectum-nephropidum, quod nonnulli operarii, cerevisiam bibentes, conspecti sunt, et quod ab ingenioso viro honesto ad meum hospitium tulit"[12] commemoravit.[13]
