Background Salas y Gómez is a small, volcanic island largely untouched by humans due to its diminutive size and remoteness. Since the waters surrounding Salas y Gómez were established as Motu Motiro Hiva Marine Park in 2010, marine investigations have been the primary research focus. Secondarily, nesting seabird communities have been censused since 2011. Methods and findings In 2016, terrestrial arthropods were sampled on the island. Two observers sampled two locations for 30 min per site. Fifteen morphospecies were identified including at least one likely undescribed species. Conclusions Our work represents the most comprehensive terrestrial arthropod inventory of Salas y Gómez island to date. We are hopeful the recommendations provided will spur additional research to both characterize the island’s arthropod community, as well as identify species of management concern.

智利 Salas y Gómez 岛节肢动物群的注释

背景 Salas y Gómez 是一个小型火山岛，由于其面积小且地处偏远，在很大程度上没有人类接触过。自从 2010 年将 Salas y Gómez 周围的水域建立为 Motu Motiro Hiva 海洋公园以来，海洋调查一直是主要的研究重点。其次，自 2011 年以来对筑巢海鸟群落进行了普查。 方法和结果 2016 年，在岛上对陆生节肢动物进行了采样。两名观察员在每个地点对两个地点采样 30 分钟。确定了 15 种形态种，包括至少一种可能未被描述的物种。结论 我们的工作代表了迄今为止最全面的 Salas y Gómez 岛陆生节肢动物清单。我们希望所提供的建议将刺激更多的研究，以表征岛上的节肢动物群落，
