The Schoeman2 survey was carried out between 1999 and 2007, and consisted of five intensive surveys between Affiliations: two and 12 days in duration. Arachnids were sampled in five broad habitat types, namely fynbos, 1Department of Zoology & wetlands, i.e. De Hoop Vlei, Eucalyptus plantations at Potberg and Cupido’s Kraal, coastal dunes Entomology University of near Koppie Alleen and the intertidal zone at Koppie Alleen.

Key words: Spiders, New records, Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan, India. INTRODUCTION Protected areas are essential for biodiversity conservation. They act as benchmarks to understand human interaction with the natural world. Of the two mega diverse Indian states, Rajasthan with an area of about 342,239 sq. km. is the largest state of India. The state is symbolized by its arid and semi-arid tracts. Ecologically suitable forest areas of the state over time have been declared as National Parks, Wild Life Sanctuaries and Reserves. Wildlife wing of the State Forest Department (SFD) maintain these protected areas in a scientific manner, conducive for conservation of wild life in the area. Temporal population of any life form actively select a suitable site for sustainance. Its fitness is directly influenced by the ability to find a suitable habitat based on innate preference for food, shelter and absence of enemies.

    Salticidae (Arachnida, Araneae) of Thailand: new species and records of Epeus Peckham & Peckham, 1886 and Ptocasius Simon, 1885 Barbara Maria Patoleta1, Joanna Gardzińska2 and Marek Żabka1 1 Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities, Siedlce, Poland 2 Warsaw College of Engineering and Health, Warsaw, Poland ABSTRACT The study is based on new material from the collections of the Naturalis Biodiversity Centre in Leiden (RNHM) and the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM) and addresses issues in two genera: Epeus Peckham & Peckham, 1886 and Ptocasius Simon, 1885 from Thailand. Both genera are of Asian/Indomalayan origin, the latter with a diversity hotspot in the subtropical valleys of the Himalayas. Based on morphological data, we propose three new species of Epeus (Epeus daiqini sp. nov. (♂♀), Epeus pallidus sp. nov. (♀), Epeus szirakii sp. nov. (♀)) and two new species of Ptacasius (Ptocasius metzneri sp. nov. (♂♀) and Ptocasius sakaerat sp. nov. (♀)). Additionally, we redescribed E. tener (Simon, 1877) and added photographs of morphological characters. The genus Ptocasius is redefined due to the inclusion of 37 species, previously included in Yaginumaella Prószyński, 1979. Relationships and distribution of both genera are discussed in reference to molecular, morphological and distributional data, published by other authors in recent years.

In Bangladesh, very few contributions are available on the taxonomic study on these arachnids. The present paper contains an updated checklist of the spider fauna of Bangladesh based on the published records of different workers and the identified collections of the recent studies by the author. It includes a total of 334 species of spiders belong to the infraorders Mygalomorphae and Araneomorphae under 21 families and 100 genera. A brief diagnosis of different families and their domination together with the distribution throughout the country are provided herewith. Key words: Checklist, spiders, Araneae, Arachnida, Bangladesh INTRODUCTION Bangladesh is basically a riverine agricultural country. It lies between 20.35ºN and 26.75ºN latitude and 88.03ºE and 92.75ºE longitude, covering an area of 1,47,570 sq. km (55,126 sq. miles). The country as such offers varied climatic situations viz., temperature, rainfall, humidity, fogmist, dew and Haor- frost, winds etc. (Rashid 1977). With the vast agricultural lands, also there are different kinds of evergreen, deciduous and mangrove forests staying different areas of the country viz., the southern Sunderbans, northern Bhawal and Madhupur forests and eastern Chittagong and Chittagong Hill-Tracts forest. Along with the agricultural lands, each of the forest ecosystems is composed of numerous species of spider fauna of the country.

The South Asian While the Indian checklist (Siliwal et al., 2005) is more spider list is also compiled following The World Spider Catalog accurate, the South Asian spider checklist is not critically by Platnick and other peer-reviewed publications since the last scrutinized due to lack of complete literature, but it gives an update. In total, 2299 species of spiders in 67 families have overview of species found in various South Asian countries, been reported from South Asia. There are 39 species included in this regions checklist that are not listed in the World Catalog gives the endemism of species and forms a basis for careful of Spiders. Taxonomic verification is recommended for 51 species. and participatory work by arachnologists in the region.

    Diversity of Common Garden and House Spider in Tinsukia District, Assam Has Been Undertaken

    Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies 2019; 7(4): 1432-1439 E-ISSN: 2320-7078 P-ISSN: 2349-6800 Diversity of common garden and house spider in JEZS 2019; 7(4): 1432-1439 © 2019 JEZS Tinsukia district Received: 01-05-2019 Accepted: 05-06-2019 Achal Kumari Pandit Achal Kumari Pandit Graduated from Department of Zoology Digboi College, Assam, Abstract India A study on the diversity of spider fauna inside the Garden and House in Tinsukia district, Assam. This was studied from September 2015 to July 2019. A total of 18 family, 52 genus and 80 species were recorded. Araneidae is the most dominant family among all followed by the silicide family. The main aim of this study is to bring to known the species which is generally observed by the humans in this area. Beside seasonal variation in species is higher in summer season as compared to winter. Also many species were observed each year in same season repeatedly during the study period, further maximum number of species is seen in vegetation type of habitat. Keywords: Spider, diversity, Tinsukia, seasonal, habitat 1. Introduction As one of the most widely recognized group of Arthropods, Spiders are widespread in distribution except for a few niches, such as Arctic and Antarctic. Almost every plant has its spider fauna, as do dead leaves, on the forest floor and on the trees. They may be found at varied locations, such as under bark, beneath stones, below the fallen logs, among foliage, [23] house dwellings, grass, leaves, underground, burrows etc. (Pai IK., 2018) . Their success is reflected by the fact that, on our planet, there are about 48,358 species recorded till now according to World Spider Catalog.

    AAS 1999 Annual Meeting Abstracts Oral and Poster Presentations 1999 AAS Annual Meeting Univ. of the West Indies St. Augustine, Trinidad THERIDIID SYSTEMATICS: A PRELIMINARY MOLECULAR AND MORPHOLOGICAL PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS Ingi Agnarsson, Miquel A. Arnedo, Rosie Gillespie, Jonathan Coddington, & Gustavo Hormiga The family Theridiidae (cob-web spiders) is one of the largest spider families, comprising over 2000 described species in 73 genera and exhibiting extreme diversity in morphology, ecology and behavior. Theridiids are unique in including many cooperative or quasisocial species, a behavior otherwise very rare in arachnids. Theridiids include some very familiar species, such as the common house spider (Achaearanea tepidariorum) and the widow spiders (Latrodectus spp.). Despite their relatively high profile, systematic work on the family has so far been limited to the inclusion of a few of its members in family level phylogenetic analyses. We present the first cladistic analysis of a wide selection of theridiid genera based on molecular and morphological data. Apart from presenting a higher level phylogenetic hypothesis of theridiid interrelations, we address questions such as their sister relationship with nesticids, the monophyly and placement of the putative theridiid subfamily Hadrotarsinae, and the evolution of several morphological traits. CANNIBALISM AS A FACTOR REGULATING POPULATION DENSITY IN THE WOLF SPIDER PARDOSA MILVINA (ARANEAE, LYCOSIDAE) Robert Balfour, Sean E. Walker & Ann L. Rypstra Cannibalism has been suggested as a factor that can regulate population density in wolf spiders. We used a series of laboratory and field experiments to determine if cannibalism occurs in Pardosa milvina and if it is density dependent. Field collected Pardosa were paired in laboratory arenas in order to measure the level of aggression.
