[…]. El número de taxones de artrópodos terrestres citado de los archipiélagos de Madeira y Salvajes es respectivamente 3.801 y 201, entre los que hay un número significativo de endemismos (Borges et al., 2008b) (ver Tabla I; Fig. 5; Lámina II). Madeira, la isla más grande, con una orografía compleja y con el número mayor de diferentes tipos de hábitat, destaca claramente sobre las otras islas de los dos archipiélagos tanto en la riqueza de especies como en el número de taxones endémicos. Sin embargo, también se debe tener en cuenta que la biodiversidad de Madeira se ha estudiado más en detalle, ya que esta isla ha sido el objetivo de varias expediciones de historia natural y muchas visitas de taxónomos expertos de todo el mundo (ver la sección anterior).

ABSTRACT: […]. The number of terrestrial arthropod taxa reported from Madeira and Selvagens archipelagos is respectively 3801 and 201, among which there is a significant number of endemics (Borges et al., 2008b) (see Table I; Fig. 5; Plate II). Madeira, the largest island, with a complex orography and highest number of habitat-types, clearly stands out both in species richness and in number of endemic taxa from the other islands of the two archipelagos. Nevertheless, we must also take in consideration that Madeira’s biodiversity has been studied in more detail since this island has been a target for several natural history expeditions and many visits from worldwide taxonomic experts (see above section).
