  A further new species for the genus Ananteris Thorell, 1891 (Scorpiones: Ananteridae) from a poorly prospected region of Brazilian Amazonia Abstract  A new species of the genus Ananteris Thorell, 1891 is described from the region which today defines the ‘Reserva Biológica do Río Trombetas’ in the state of Pará, Brazil. The collection of the unique specimen, presently study, took place previously to the definition of this reserve, in a joint field trip with a team of the Instituto Brasileiro de Desenvolvimento Florestal (IBDF). Ananteris antoni sp. n. is described based on one female specimen collected in a zone of dense humid forest, under death log. With this new description, the number of Ananteris species known for the scorpion fauna of Brazil is now raised to 33. Lourenço W.

Abstract
Examinations of spiders of the gnaphosid genus Cladothela collected from Nansei Islands, Japan revealed that two undescribed species of the genus occur in the area, and that in C. auster Kamura 1997, the previous understanding of the combination of male and female is incorrect. Two new species, Cladothela notus n. sp. and C. sakishima n. sp., and the true female of C. auster are described.
