Descripción
The data we present consists in an updated checklist of the Azorean arthropods. The checklist compile known records based on published literature, unpublished data, and new records at archipelago and island levels. This publication represents the most recent information about distribution of introduced, native and endemic arthropods in the Azores archipelago. Currently the total number of terrestrial arthropod taxa (species and subspecies) in the Azores is estimated of about 2420 belonging to 14 classes, 53 orders, 440 families, 1556 genera and 2400 species and 149 individual subspecies. The most diverse orders of Azorean arthropods are: Coleoptera (585 taxa), Diptera (423 taxa), Hemiptera (338 taxa), Hymenoptera (163 taxa), Lepidoptera (159 taxa) and Araneae (133 taxa). A total of 276 endemic taxa are currently known (232 species and 44 subspecies), belonging to 8 classes and 22 orders. São Miguel, Terceira and Pico are the islands with higher number of endemic species and subspecies. Compared to the other nearest Macaronesian archipelagos (Madeira and Canaries), the Azorean arthropod fauna is characterized by a lower percentage of endemism and a high proportion of exotic introduced species.

Datos del proyecto
The checklist of terrestrial arthropods of the Azores archipelago is based on all known published literature and the last checklist of Azorean biota in Borges et al. 2010), as well as on some unpublished data. The checklist also includes new records of arthropods at island and archipelago levels

| Descripción del área de estudio | The Azores archipelago located in the North Atlantic Ocean (37-40 °N, 25-31 °W), about 1600 km of distance to southern Europe and 2200 km to the northern America. The archipelago, which extends for 615 km, is formed by nine main islands and some small islets, all of volcanic origin. The islands are divided into three main groups: the western group (Corvo and Flores), the central group (Faial, Pico, Graciosa, São Jorge and Terceira), and the eastern group (São Miguel and Santa Maria). The climate is mainly temperate oceanic, with regular and abundant rainfall, high levels of relative humidity, above 95% on average on high forest, and persistent winds, mainly during the winter and autumn seasons. In XV century, the Azores was settled by Portuguese, and since then, the landscape was dramatically transformed, by replacing of pristine forests to exotic tree plantations, agricultural areas, pastures to cattle grazing and urban areas. Currently the original native forests comprise about 5% of the total surface of the archipelago, and remains in the most elevation and inaccessible areas of the islands (Gaspar et al 2008). |
| Descripción del diseño | For taxonomic consistency we evaluated specific literature for spiders (http://wsc.nmbe.ch) and Lepidoptera (expert revision). For the remaining groups we compared the nomenclature available in four main taxonomic databases: i) the last Azorean Checklist (Borges et al. 2010b); ii) the project Fauna Europaea (https://fauna-eu.org/); iii) the project BIOTA Canarias (https://www.biodiversidadcanarias.es/), iv) the GBIF database (https://www.gbif.org/), and when data available v) the project Fauna Iberica (http://www.fauna-iberica.mncn.csic.es/english/). In general, we looked for consistency in the nomenclature and when in doubt we followed the GBIF nomenclature. When no information concerning island occurrence was available only archipelago occurrence is given (AZ). In most cases it corresponds to old records, as well as to references to the Azores, as found in “Fauna Europaea”, with no indication to any literature supporting these findings (e.g., Crustacea). |

Métodos de muestreo
The data collection consists on compilation of known records based on published literature and the last checklist of Azorean biota in Borges et al. 2010), unpublished data; and new records at archipelago and island levels from recent publications.
| Área de Estudio | The checklist comprised all islands of the Azores archipelago, providing information of the arthropod species distribution at island level when available. |

| Control de Calidad | For taxonomic consistency we evaluated specific literature for spiders (http://wsc.nmbe.ch) and Lepidoptera (expert revision). For the remaining groups we compared the nomenclature available in five main taxonomic databases: i) the last Azorean Checklist (Borges et al. 2010b); ii) the project Fauna Europaea (https://fauna-eu.org/); iii) the project BIOTA Canarias (https://www.biodiversidadcanarias.es/), iv) the GBIF database (https://www.gbif.org/), and when data available v) the project Fauna Iberica (http://www.fauna-iberica.mncn.csic.es/english/). In general, we looked for consistency in the nomenclature and when in doubt we followed the GBIF nomenclature. The new records were revised by expert taxonomists. |
