While taxonomic studies are very important, as many species are becoming extinct before they are described, a focus on the ecology of spiders is also essential, as it helps with addressing vital questions such as the effect of anthropogenic activities on spider fauna.

Abstract. Our latest collections in northeastern Argentina include new species of jumping spiders (Salticidae) that indicate that the diversity of this group in Argentina is indeed underestimated. This paper describes and illustrates a new species, Pachomius areteguazu sp. nov., an inhabitant of the grasslands of northeastern Argentina. Within the genus Pachomius, this new species is placed in the nigrus group (Edwards 2015) because it has a sclerotized lateral subterminal apophysis (LSA) next to the embolus, spine-shaped, possibly derived by loss of the membranous part of the LSA. Previously no females in the nigrus group were known, so we also present the first description of an epigynum for this group and discuss its relationship to the LSA with respect to copulation. Keywords. Aelurillini, Argentina, Misiones, taxonomy Introduction Pachomius Peckham & Peckham, 1896 is a genus of medium-sized jumping spiders, represented by 21 species that share a general setal patterns on the carapace to include lateral light bands and a median thoracic stripe (Edwards 2015; WSC 2021).

Key words: new records, Thanatus, Minosia, Nomisia, Iran. Introduction Spiders (Araneae), with over 45000 recognized species in the world (World Spider Catalog 2015). Reviewing the literature, Zamani et al. (2015a) gave a checklist of spiders of Iran with about 540 species. Considering the geographic position of the country as a land bridge joining the Palaearctic, Afro- tropical and Oriental zones, and its diverse climate condi- tions and the known spider fauna of adjacent countries, it seems that this number must be much higher than known at present.

Wijesinghe Department of Entomology American Museum of Natural History Central Park West at 79th Street New York, New York 10024 The monumental Histoire Naturelle des Araignées, published in Paris from 1897 to 1901 by Eugene Simon, still remains the only encyclopedic treatment of the spider genera of the world. In this day and age, the fact that the keys and the descriptions are in Latin is an increasingly serious inconvenience. It is hoped that a translation of Simon's keys to the Groupes of the large and systematically difficult family of jumping spiders, the Salticidae, will be a welcome aid to the increasing numbers of workers in that family. While many, though not all, of Simon's groups are admittedly artificial, they still represent the only available general scheme for identification and access to the literature. The features that Simon used in his keys, such as the relative position of the posterior median eyes, the shape of the ocular quadrangle, the curvature of the line of the anterior eyes, the relative lengths of the third and fourth legs, the presence and position of the thoracic groove, and the spination of the legs, to mention a few, still serve for identification and classification.

  • Redescription and R Iption and R Iption and Resolution of Some Neotr
    Redescription and resolution of some Neotropical species of jumping spiders described by Caporiacco and description of a new species (Araneae: Salticidae) Gustavo R. S. Ruiz & Antonio D. Brescovit Laboratório de Artrópodes, Instituto Butantan. Avenida Vital Brazil 1500, 05503-900 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brasil. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT. Type specimens of some of Caporiacco’s Neotropical species are revised. The taxonomy of his species from French Guiana, whose type specimens are lost, is considered. The types of Corythalia hadzji Caporiacco, 1947, Corythalia luctuosa Caporiacco 1954, Hypaeus barromachadoi Caporiacco, 1947 and Naubolus melloleitaoi Caporiacco, 1947 are redescribed. The following new synonymies are established: Freya guianensis Caporiacco, 1947 = Chira spinipes (Taczanowski, 1871) syn. nov..; Hypaeus bivittatus Caporiacco, 1947 = Hypaeus barromachadoi Caporiacco, 1947 syn. nov. New combinations are: Agelista petrusewiczi Caporiacco, 1947 = Noegus petrusewiczi (Caporiacco, 1947) comb. nov..; Albionella chickeringi Caporiacco, 1954 = Mago chickeringi (Caporiacco, 1954) comb. nov..; Asaracus pauciaculeis Caporiacco, 1947 = Mago pauciaculeis (Caporiacco, 1947) comb. nov..; Cerionesta leucomystax Caporiacco, 1947 = Sassacus leucomystax (Caporiacco, 1947) comb. nov..; Lapsias guianensis Caporiacco, 1947 = Cobanus guianensis (Caporiacco, 1947) comb. nov..; Phiale modestissima Caporiacco, 1947 = Asaracus modestissimus (Caporiacco, 1947) comb. nov. The species Noegus lodovicoi sp. nov. is also

  • In Memoriam Gershom Levy (1937–2009) Dr. Gershom Levy Passed
    ISRAEL JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY, Vol. 38, 2008, pp. 133–142 Photo: D. Simon In Memoriam Gershom Levy (1937–2009) Dr. Gershom Levy passed away on 21 March, 2009, and his life’s work on the arachno- fauna of the Land of Israel came to an untimely end. Gershom was born in Tel Aviv in 1937, but from 1943 on he lived in Jerusalem. He matriculated from The Hebrew Uni- versity High School in 1955, and in 1964 he received his M.Sc. in biological sciences from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specializing in zoology, chemistry, and para- sitology. For several years Gershom was an instructor in the Entomology Department of The Hebrew University, and in 1969 he earned his Ph.D. from The Hebrew University. Gershom’s career in arachnology began with his M.Sc. with A. Shulov. Shulov sug- gested that he undertake a revision of the Solifugae (camel-spiders or sun-spiders) of Israel. This was a very ambitious project. Later Gershom remarked, in a typically honest appraisal, that this was too large a task for a young and inexperienced taxonomist, and much work remained. Gershom’s Ph.D. research was on the biology and systematics of the crab-spider family (Thomisidae) of Israel and adjacent areas. One of the most cited of his early papers is on the life history of Thomisus onustus and a general classification of life-history patterns. In 1970, after he began work on the scorpions of Israel, Gershom received a travel 134 IN MEMORIAM — GERSHOM LEVY Isr. J. Entomol. grant to study the scorpion collections at the natural history museums of Paris and London, and in particular to visit Professor M.
