The knowledge on taxonomic diversity of arthropods is key to better understanding the biodiversity patterns and processes and guiding sustainable conservation strategies and practices. In the Azores, terrestrial arthropods are relatively well-inventoried following the publication of comprehensive checklists that have been regularly updated. Nevertheless, every year, new species are found as a result of new arrivals to the Archipelago and from addressing specific taxonomic lacunae. Here, we update the taxonomic terrestrial arthropod biodiversity of the Azores by reporting for the first time 13 species for the Archipelago, namely Tuttle, Baker & Abbatiello, 1976, Simon, 1875, (Westring, 1851), (Forsskål, 1775), Newman, 1840, Fabricius, 1801 (Redtenbacher, 1849), (Fabricius, 1803), (Koch, 1803), (Macquart, 1839), (Linnaeus, 1758), Yasumatsu, 1951 and (Olivier, 1792), and several new species records for specific islands. These species benefitted from the increase in transportation of goods and commodities, both from outside the Archipelago and between islands, to arrive and spread across the Archipelago with some of them posing new challenges to local agriculture, forestry and biodiversity conservation management.
了解节肢动物的分类多样性是更好地理解生物多样性模式和过程以及指导可持续保护战略与实践的关键。在亚速尔群岛，随着定期更新的综合清单的发布，陆生节肢动物的记录相对完善。然而，由于新物种抵达该群岛以及填补特定分类学空白，每年都会发现新物种。在此，我们通过首次报告该群岛的13个物种来更新亚速尔群岛陆生节肢动物的分类生物多样性，即1976年的塔特尔、贝克和阿巴蒂埃洛物种、1875年的西蒙物种、（1851年的韦斯特林物种）、（1775年的福斯卡尔物种）、1840年的纽曼物种、1801年的法布尔物种（1849年的雷滕巴赫物种）、（1803年的法布尔物种）、（1803年的科赫物种）、（1839年的马夸特物种）、（1758年的林奈物种）、1951年的安松松物种和（1792年的奥利维耶物种），以及特定岛屿的几个新物种记录。这些物种受益于群岛外部和岛屿之间货物与商品运输的增加，得以抵达并在群岛中传播，其中一些对当地农业、林业和生物多样性保护管理构成了新挑战。
