Suborder Dyspnoi

For the Dyspnoi , the greater change was the catalogue of Schönhofer (2013), which introduced new combinations, new synonymies, consolidation of overlooked nomenclatural acts and denomination of nomina dubia. Likewise, descriptions of many new Nearctic and Palearctic species appeared ( Chemeris & Kovblyuk 2012; González-Luque & Labrada 2012; Karaman 2013; Richart & Hedin 2013; Snegovaya & Marusik 2012; Zhang & Zhang 2013), and even a new genus ( Schönhofer & Martens 2012). Following some updating of synonymies, which highly surpassed the new species, the total of 353 extant species of Dyspnoi ( Kury 2011) has decreased to 334, or 5% less. Still more synonymies are expected because of the numerous fictitious species with fictitious localities described by Roewer (see Schönhofer 2013).
