NONSENSICAL COMMENT of the WSC: " Messua felix Prószy ński, 2002 : 239, f. 71-74 ( m, figures f,* provided no justification for transfer ) [* here fig. D above]. Informal group of genera DENDRYPHANTINES Mutual diagnostic characters of genera included . Distal haematodocha noticeable in resting state of a palp, embolus short, broad or triangular, rarely thin and bent (Fig. 42A). Tegulum thick and opaque, spermophor less noticeable than in EUOPHRYINES, apically bent, next running straight, or slightly waving, along retrolateral surface of bulbus. Epigyne heavily sclerotized, without "windows", instead with anterior horse-shoe shaped furrow with copulatory openings at the bottom of sclerotized depressions at the lateral ends of furrow. Copulatory ducts begin as straight, thick walled tubes at the anterior part of epigyne, shortly pass indistinctly into entangled sclerotized ducts or solid spermathecae with internal chambers. Large group, containing some 400 recognizable species (and 108 unrecognizable), in appearance and habits comparable with EUOPHRYINES, usually short legged and not jumping. Remark. Modern set up of the group was begun by Maddison 1995, one of the best and most important taxonomic revisions of Salticidae in literature, containing also stimulating ideas (like embolus sitting atop distal haematodocha, different from fixed embolus), which influenced also present division of Salticidae.* Species with genitalic characters partially resembling EUOPHRYINES are separated into new group of subfamilial rank - EUODENINES 23 . -------------------------------------------------------- FOOTNOTE*. Personal archive of Dr. W.P. Maddison contains very important diagnostic drawings of undescribed forms of DENDRYPHANTINES, and some other Salticidae, 84 unpublished to date, which he has very kindly permitted me to copy in 1986, unfortunately I have no permission to display them in the present database of Salticidae. -------------------------------------------------------- Gen.

Thomisus italongus Barrion and Litsinger and Cyrtophora exanthematica (Doleschall), are recognized as new from the country and accordingly described and illustrated. 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.

MAPPING THE VARIATION IN SPIDER BODY COLOURATION FROM AN INSECT PERSPECTIVE Ajuria-Ibarra, H. 1 Tapia-McClung, H. 2 & D. Rao 1 1. INBIOTECA, Universidad Veracruzana, Xalapa, Veracruz, México. 2. Laboratorio Nacional de Informática Avanzada, A.C., Xalapa, Veracruz, México. Colour variation is frequently observed in orb web spiders. Such variation can impact fitness by affecting the way spiders are perceived by relevant observers such as prey (i.e. by resembling flower signals as visual lures) and predators (i.e. by disrupting search image formation). Verrucosa arenata is an orb-weaving spider that presents colour variation in a conspicuous triangular pattern on the dorsal part of the abdomen. This pattern has predominantly white or yellow colouration, but also reflects light in the UV part of the spectrum. We quantified colour variation in V. arenata from images obtained using a full spectrum digital camera. We obtained cone catch quanta and calculated chromatic and achromatic contrasts for the visual systems of Drosophila melanogaster and Apis mellifera. Cluster analyses of the colours of the triangular patch resulted in the formation of six and three statistically different groups in the colour space of D. melanogaster and A. mellifera, respectively. Thus, no continuous colour variation was found.

  • Prey of the Jumping Spider Phidippus Johnsoni (Araneae : Salticidae)
    Jackson, R. R . 1977 . Prey of the jumping spider Phidippus johnsoni (Araneae : Salticidae) . J. Arachnol. 5 :145-149 . PREY OF THE JUMPING SPIDER PHIDIPPUS JOHNSONI (ARANEAE : SALTICIDAE) Robert R. Jackson I Zoology Departmen t University of Californi a Berkeley, California 9472 0 ABSTRACT Field data indicate that P. johnsoni is an euryphagous predator, whose diet includes organisms (aphids, ants, opilionids) sometimes considered distasteful to spiders . Other spiders are preyed upon , including conspecifics. Prey size tends to be one quarter to three quarters the size of the predator . INTRODUCTION Since spiders are probably a dominant group of predators of insects (Bristowe, 1941 ; Riechert, 1974; Turnbull, 1973), there is considerable interest in their feeding ecology . Spiders have usually been considered to be euryphagous predators with a stabilizing , rather than regulative, effect on insect populations (Riechert, 1974) . However, informa- tion concerning the prey taken by particular spider species, in the field, is limited . Field studies by Edgar (1969, 1970), Robinson and Robinson (1970) and Turnbull (1960) are especially noteworthy . During the course of a study of the reproductive biology of Phidippus johnsoni (Peckham and Peckham) (Jackson, 1976), occasionally individuals of this species were found in the field holding prey in their chelicerae . Each prey discovered in this way i s listed in Table 1 . In addition, Ken Evans and Charles Griswold, who were familiar wit h this species, recorded observations of P. johnsoni with prey. (Their data are included in Table 1 .) These data came from a variety of habitats in western North America, most o f which have been described elsewhere (Jackson, 1976) .

  • Abundance and Community Composition of Arboreal Spiders: the Relative Importance of Habitat Structure
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Juraj Halaj for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Entomology presented on May 6, 1996. Title: Abundance and Community Composition of Arboreal Spiders: The Relative Importance of Habitat Structure. Prey Availability and Competition. Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy _ John D. Lattin, Darrell W. Ross This work examined the importance of structural complexity of habitat, availability of prey, and competition with ants as factors influencing the abundance and community composition of arboreal spiders in western Oregon. In 1993, I compared the spider communities of several host-tree species which have different branch structure. I also assessed the importance of several habitat variables as predictors of spider abundance and diversity on and among individual tree species. The greatest abundance and species richness of spiders per 1-m-long branch tips were found on structurally more complex tree species, including Douglas-fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco and noble fir, Abies procera Rehder. Spider densities, species richness and diversity positively correlated with the amount of foliage, branch twigs and prey densities on individual tree species. The amount of branch twigs alone explained almost 70% of the variation in the total spider abundance across five tree species. In 1994, I experimentally tested the importance of needle density and branching complexity of Douglas-fir branches on the abundance and community structure of spiders and their potential prey organisms. This was accomplished by either removing needles, by thinning branches or by tying branches. Tying branches resulted in a significant increase in the abundance of spiders and their prey. Densities of spiders and their prey were reduced by removal of needles and thinning.

  • Spiders of the Hawaiian Islands: Catalog and Bibliography1
    Pacific Insects 6 (4) : 665-687 December 30, 1964 SPIDERS OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS: CATALOG AND BIBLIOGRAPHY1 By Theodore W. Suman BISHOP MUSEUM, HONOLULU, HAWAII Abstract: This paper contains a systematic list of species, and the literature references, of the spiders occurring in the Hawaiian Islands. The species total 149 of which 17 are record­ ed here for the first time. This paper lists the records and literature of the spiders in the Hawaiian Islands. The islands included are Kure, Midway, Laysan, French Frigate Shoal, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui and Hawaii. The only major work dealing with the spiders in the Hawaiian Is. was published 60 years ago in " Fauna Hawaiiensis " by Simon (1900 & 1904). All of the endemic spiders known today, except Pseudanapis aloha Forster, are described in that work which also in­ cludes a listing of several introduced species. The spider collection available to Simon re­ presented only a small part of the entire Hawaiian fauna. In all probability, the endemic species are only partly known. Since the appearance of Simon's work, there have been many new records and lists of introduced spiders. The known Hawaiian spider fauna now totals 149 species and 4 subspecies belonging to 21 families and 66 genera. Of this total, 82 species (5596) are believed to be endemic and belong to 10 families and 27 genera including 7 endemic genera. The introduced spe­ cies total 65 (44^). Two unidentified species placed in indigenous genera comprise the remaining \%. Seventeen species are recorded here for the first time. In the catalog section of this paper, families, genera and species are listed alphabetical­ ly for convenience.

  • The Jumping Spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) of the Virginia Peninsula1
    Vol. 98, No. 5, November & December 1987 235 THE JUMPING SPIDERS (ARANEAE: SALTICIDAE) OF THE VIRGINIA PENINSULA 1 2 C.L. Stietenroth, N.V. Horner ABSTRACT: Thirty species representing 1 8 genera of Salticidae are recorded from the Virginia Peninsula. Habitat and natural history information for each species is presented. Some salticids on the peninsula occupy diverse habitats while other species appear to confine themselves to more restricted environments. The most abundant salticid was Hentzia palmarum. Metaphi- dippus galathea and Platycryptus undatus were most widely distributed species. Salticids reported in Virginia for the first time are Phidippus princeps, P. otiosus, Thiodina sylvana, Sitticus fasciger and Zygoballus sexpunctatus. A few studies concerning the spider fauna of Virginia have been published. The earliest record of occurrence was by John Banister between 1678 and 1692 (Ewan and Ewan, 1970). More recently, McCaffrey and Hornsburgh published three studies concerning spiders in apple orchards in central Virginia. Their assessment of spider populations in an unsprayed orchard was published in 1 1 977 followed ( 978) by laboratory feeding studies performed to evaluate potential effects of predaceous spiders on insect residents of apple orchards. Later (1980), a comparison was made between the spider populations in abandoned and commercial orchards; 68 species were identified. Dowd and Kok (1981), and McPherson el al. (1982) considered spider and other arthropod predation on the curculionid beetle, Rhynocyllus sp., in a in 1 soybean cropping system Virginia. Holsinger ( 982) reported on the spider cave-fauna in Burnsville Cove. The efficiency of limb-beating for capturing various spider families in apple orchards is discussed by McCaffrey and Parrella(1984).

  • Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve
    Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve Arthropods are characterized by having jointed limbs and exoskeletons. They include a diverse assortment of creatures: Insects, spiders, crustaceans (crayfish, crabs, pill bugs), centipedes and millipedes among others. Column Headings Scientific Name: The phenomenal diversity of arthropods, creates numerous difficulties in the determination of species. Positive identification is often achieved only by specialists using obscure monographs to ‘key out’ a species by examining microscopic differences in anatomy. For our purposes in this survey of the fauna, classification at a lower level of resolution still yields valuable information. For instance, knowing that ant lions belong to the Family, Myrmeleontidae, allows us to quickly look them up on the Internet and be confident we are not being fooled by a common name that may also apply to some other, unrelated something. With the Family name firmly in hand, we may explore the natural history of ant lions without needing to know exactly which species we are viewing. In some instances identification is only readily available at an even higher ranking such as Class. Millipedes are in the Class Diplopoda. There are many Orders (O) of millipedes and they are not easily differentiated so this entry is best left at the rank of Class. A great deal of taxonomic reorganization has been occurring lately with advances in DNA analysis pointing out underlying connections and differences that were previously unrealized. For this reason, all other rankings aside from Family, Genus and Species have been omitted from the interior of the tables since many of these ranks are in a state of flux.

  • Jump Takeoff in a Small Jumping Spider
    Journal of Comparative Physiology A https://doi.org/10.1007/s00359-021-01473-7 ORIGINAL PAPER Jump takeof in a small jumping spider Erin E. Brandt1,2 · Yoshan Sasiharan2 · Damian O. Elias1 · Natasha Mhatre2 Received: 27 October 2020 / Revised: 4 February 2021 / Accepted: 23 February 2021 © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2021 Abstract Jumping in animals presents an interesting locomotory strategy as it requires the generation of large forces and accurate timing. Jumping in arachnids is further complicated by their semi-hydraulic locomotion system. Among arachnids, jumping spiders (Family Salticidae) are agile and dexterous jumpers. However, less is known about jumping in small salticid species. Here we used Habronattus conjunctus, a small jumping spider (body length ~ 4.5 mm) to examine its jumping performance and compare it to that of other jumping spiders and insects. We also explored how legs are used during the takeof phase of jumps. Jumps were staged between two raised platforms. We analyzed jumping videos with DeepLabCut to track 21 points on the cephalothorax, abdomen, and legs. By analyzing leg liftof and extension patterns, we found evidence that H. conjunc- tus primarily uses the third legs to power jumps. We also found that H. conjunctus jumps achieve lower takeof speeds and accelerations than most other jumping arthropods, including other jumping spiders. Habronattus conjunctus takeof time was similar to other jumping arthropods of the same body mass. We discuss the mechanical benefts and drawbacks of a semi- hydraulic system of locomotion and consider how small spiders may extract dexterous jumps from this locomotor system.
