Medina: 1 female (ISLA 16035) from Mina da Fazenda do Sol V (50), 08 / IV / 2009; 1 male (ISLA 16048) from Mina do Bloco I (8), 14 / VII / 2009; 1 male (MNRJ 2336) from Mina do Bloco II (5), 18 / VII / 2009; 1 male (ISLA 16030) from Mina do Bloco III (3), 14 / VII / 2009, new record for locality. This species was observed forming aggregations of 8, 19 and 26 individuals at a maximum distance of 5 meters from the entrance representing the first record of an aggregation behavior for this species. In other cavities, sparsely distributed individuals were observed, but always located in the photic zone no more than 10 meters from the entrance. These records represent a new occurrence of this species for this municipality, thus expanding its distribution with 250 km from the southwest of Jucari, Bahia state.	en	de Azara, Ludson Neves, Bernardi, Leopoldo Ferreira de Oliveira, Rodrigo Lopes Ferreira, (2016): The first survey on harvestmen in Brazilian artificial cavities, with notes on distribution and natural history.

This species was observed forming aggregations of 28, 45, 49, 103, 200, 400 and 2200 individuals at the entrance of seven cavities at a maximum distance of 5 m from the entrance. This was the first record of an aggregation behavior for this species. In other cavities, sparsely distributed individuals were also recorded, but always located in the photic zone at a maximum distance of 10 m from the entrance. During one of the fieldtrips, three aggregations with about 1000 individuals were observed. These aggregations were found in the epigean environment, next to the mine Tunel do Hotel Entre Vales I in holes and cracks in a ravine of exposed soil. Such shelters had a longitudinal form of ~ 80 cm in depth, 20 cm width and 1.5 cm height. The three municipalities represent new occurrences for this species, expanding its distribution ~ 1000 km from the south of Pernambuco state.	en	de Azara, Ludson Neves, Bernardi, Leopoldo Ferreira de Oliveira, Rodrigo Lopes Ferreira, (2016): The first survey on harvestmen in Brazilian artificial cavities, with notes on distribution and natural history.

Nova Lima corresponds to a new occurrence for this species, expanding its distribution with about 40 km from the east of Santa Barbara, Minas Gerais. However, the Mina de Capao Xavier was destroyed by the expansion of mining activities, and its fauna was translocated to another artificial mine constructed in the same region of the original one (Ferreira, R. L. pers. observation).	en	de Azara, Ludson Neves, Bernardi, Leopoldo Ferreira de Oliveira, Rodrigo Lopes Ferreira, (2016): The first survey on harvestmen in Brazilian artificial cavities, with notes on distribution and natural history.
