DISCLAIMER — This resource
was first intended as for private use of the members of the arachnology
lab of Museu Nacional, but later we thought "why not to share
this with the world?". Eventually if greedy lawyers (redundance...)
start to bother us with copyright matters, etc, we may have to be forced
to quit the project and keep this just to ourselves. |
