The Australian fauna includes Dolomedes, Megadolomedes, Hygropoda, Perenethis, Dendrolycosa and Inola along with 3 new genera, Tasmomedes, gen. nov., Ornodolomedes, gen. nov., and Mangromedes, gen. nov. Dolomedes in the region includes 16 species. four of which are known – Dolomedes facetus L. Koch, 1876, Dolomedes albicomus L. Koch, 1867, Dolomedes instabilis L. Koch, 1876 and Dolomedes flaminius L. Koch, 1867– plus 9 that are new: Dolomedes vicque sp. nov. from Victoria to Queensland, Dolomedes briangreenei sp. nov. and Dolomedes venmani sp. nov. in New South Wales and Queensland, Dolomedes alexandri sp. nov., from the Australian Capital Territory, Dolomedes pedder sp. nov. and Dolomedes lizturnerae sp. nov. from Tasmania, Dolomedes wollemi sp. nov. from New South Wales, Dolomedes mankorlod sp. nov. from the Northern Territory, Dolomedes karijini sp. nov. from Western Australia. Of those, Dolomedes flaminius remains the most perplexing as no further material has been located from the Brisbane area from which it putatively came prior to 1867; the locality is presumed wrong. Dolomedes stilatus Karsch, 1878 is a synonym of Perenethis venusta L. Koch, 1878. Dolomedes habilis Hogg, 1906 is a junior synonym of Dolomedes instabilis. Dolomedes chroesus Strand, 1911 is removed from the fauna of Australia because of misidentifications. The newly rediscovered Dolomedes eberhardarum Strand, 1913 from Tasmania and Victoria is transferred to the new genus, Tasmomedes. A new species of Megadolomedes, Megadolomedes johndouglasi is described from Tasmania and Victoria; Megadolomedes trux Lamb, 1911 is restored as the northern relative of Megadolomedes australianus (L. Koch, 1865); Megadolomedes nord sp. nov. is described from Cape York. Nilus kochi Roewer, 1951 is rediscovered in mangroves in Queensland and with a new species from the Northern Territory (Mangromedes porusus sp. nov.), is transferred to Mangromedes, gen. nov. A new genus, Ornodolomedes, is described in which the spiders hunt freely at night on leaves on rainforest and closed eucalypt forest; the spiders have bold carapace and abdominal patterns. The genus includes 10 new species. from Queensland, Ornodolomedes mickfanningi sp. nov., Ornodolomedes benrevelli sp. nov., Ornodolomedes gorenpul sp. nov., Ornodolomedes yalangi sp. nov., Ornodolomedes nebulosus sp. nov., Ornodolomedes xypee sp. nov. and Ornodolomedes marshi sp. nov.; Ornodolomedes staricki sp. nov. from Victoria; from Western Australia, Ornodolomedes nicholsoni sp. nov., and Ornodolomedes southcotti sp. nov. from South Australia. In Dendrolycosa, the male of Dendrolycosa icadia (L. Koch, 1878) is described for the first time and one new species, Dendrolycosa kakadu sp. nov. is described from the Northern Territory. Dendrolycosa yuka Jäger, 2011 is considered African, not Australian. The male of Hygropoda lineata (Thorell, 1881) is described for the first time. The widespread species Perenethis venusta L. Koch, 1878 is described and figured and a diagnosis of Inola is provided. The New Caledonian fauna includes 3 species of Dolomedes (Dolomedes titan Berland, 1924, Dolomedes neocaledonicus Berland, 1924, Dolomedes lafoensis Berland, 1924), Dendrolycosa icadia, Bradystichus Simon, 1880 and a new genus, Caledomedes, gen. nov. Males and females of Dolomedes titan and Dolomedes neocaledonicus are redescribed and figured; Dolomedes lafoensis is reviewed. The New Hebrides Do. naja Berland, 1938 is is probably a sysnonym of Do. facetus. The misplaced lycosid Anoteropsis flavovittata is transferred to a new genus Caledomedes. The enigmatic Bradystichus is reviewed. All 11 genera and 39 species are diagnosed and mapped; all genera are keyed and keys to species of genera with more than two species are provided.

  • Dna Sequence Data Indicates the Polyphyl Y of the Family Ctenidae (Araneae )
    1993. The Journal of Arachnology 21 :194–201 DNA SEQUENCE DATA INDICATES THE POLYPHYL Y OF THE FAMILY CTENIDAE (ARANEAE ) Kathrin C . Huber', Thomas S . Haider2, Manfred W . Miiller2, Bernhard A . Huber' , Rudolf J. Schweyen2, and Friedrich G . Barth' : 'Institut fair Zoologie, Althanstr . 14; 1090 Wien; and 2lnstitut fur Mikrobiologie and Genetik; Dr. Bohrgasse 9 ; 1030 Wien (Vienna), Austria . ABSTRACT. Mitochondrial DNA fragments comprising more than 400 bases of the 16S rDNA from nine spider species have been sequenced: Cupiennius salei, C. getazi, C. coccineus and Phoneutria boliviensis (Ctenidae), Pisaura mirabilis, Dolomedes fimbriatus (Pisauridae), Pardosa agrestis (Lycosidae), Clubiona pallidula (Clubi- onidae) and Ryuthela nishihirai (syn. Heptathela nishihirai; Heptathelidae: Mesothelae). Sequence divergence ranges from 3–4% among Cupiennius species and up to 36% in pairwise comparisons of the more distantly related spider DNAs. Maximally parsimonious gene trees based on these sequences indicate that Phoneutri a and Cupiennius are the most distantly related species of the examined Lycosoidea . The monophyly of the family Ctenidae is therefore doubted ; and a revision of the family, which should include DNA-data, is needed . Cupiennius salei (Ctenidae) is one of the most get a high copy number of the DNA segment of extensively studied species of spiders (see Lach - interest. The PCR depends on the availability of muth et al. 1985).

  • Sexual Selection Research on Spiders: Progress and Biases
    Biol. Rev. (2005), 80, pp. 363–385. f Cambridge Philosophical Society 363 doi:10.1017/S1464793104006700 Printed in the United Kingdom Sexual selection research on spiders: progress and biases Bernhard A. Huber* Zoological Research Institute and Museum Alexander Koenig, Adenauerallee 160, 53113 Bonn, Germany (Received 7 June 2004; revised 25 November 2004; accepted 29 November 2004) ABSTRACT The renaissance of interest in sexual selection during the last decades has fuelled an extraordinary increase of scientific papers on the subject in spiders. Research has focused both on the process of sexual selection itself, for example on the signals and various modalities involved, and on the patterns, that is the outcome of mate choice and competition depending on certain parameters. Sexual selection has most clearly been demonstrated in cases involving visual and acoustical signals but most spiders are myopic and mute, relying rather on vibrations, chemical and tactile stimuli. This review argues that research has been biased towards modalities that are relatively easily accessible to the human observer. Circumstantial and comparative evidence indicates that sexual selection working via substrate-borne vibrations and tactile as well as chemical stimuli may be common and widespread in spiders. Pattern-oriented research has focused on several phenomena for which spiders offer excellent model objects, like sexual size dimorphism, nuptial feeding, sexual cannibalism, and sperm competition. The accumulating evidence argues for a highly complex set of explanations for seemingly uniform patterns like size dimorphism and sexual cannibalism. Sexual selection appears involved as well as natural selection and mechanisms that are adaptive in other contexts only. Sperm competition has resulted in a plethora of morpho- logical and behavioural adaptations, and simplistic models like those linking reproductive morphology with behaviour and sperm priority patterns in a straightforward way are being replaced by complex models involving an array of parameters.

For example, in spiders although male pholcid genitalia have elaborate internal Bernhard A.

E-mail: [email protected] A review of the spider genus Hygropoda in Thailand (Araneae, Pisauridae). - Three species belonging to the spider genus Hygropoda Thorell are recorded from Thailand. All of them have previously been reported from Yunnan Province, southern China. The males of H. argentata Zhang, Zhu & Song, 2004 and Hygropoda yunnan Zhang, Zhu & Song, 2004 are described and illustrated here for the first time from specimens collected in northern Thailand. The female of H. campanulata Zhang, Zhu & Song, 2004 is redescribed and illustrated from a specimen collected in western Thailand. Keywords: Taxonomy - conspecific sex - zoogeography - new record - H. argentata - H. campanulata - H. yunnan. INTRODUCTION Most documented information on the spider family Pisauridae occurring in Thailand comes from lists of taxa obtained in the course of faunistic surveys. Okuma (1968) first recorded two Dolomedes species collected from paddy fields in northern and northeastern Thailand. In the result of her next expedition to several other loca- lities, she recorded the genus Hygropoda for the first time from Thailand (Okuma & Wongsiri, 1973), although the specimens were identified only to generic level. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate the specimens examined by Okuma. Dankittipakul (2002) reported Hygropoda argentata Zhang, Zhu & Song, 2004 to occur in relatively high abundance along a river running through dry deciduous dipterocarp forests in the Doi Inthanon National Park of northern Thailand.

The taxonomic history of the New Caledonian myrmecomorph spider, Anatea formicaria Berland (Hadrotarsinae: Theridiidae) is summarized, new records are presented and the female is figured for the first time. Two new species provisionally assigned to the genus are described from north-eastern Australia, A. monteithi Smith sp. nov. and A. elongata Smith sp. nov. Some undescribed Anatea species occurring on New Caledonia are shown, and aspects of hadrotarsine anatomy and ant specialization are discussed. Keywords. Anatea formicaria; myrmecomorphy; myrmecophagy; New Caledonia; Queensland; taxonomy Smith, Helen M., Mark S. Harvey, Ingi Agnarsson, and Gregory J.

One important foundation for the conservation of biodiversity on islands is an inventory of endemic species. In the absence of a comprehensive inventory, conservation effort often defaults to a focus on the better-known and more conspicuous species (typically mammals and birds). Although this component of island biota often needs such conservation attention, such focus may mean that less conspicuous endemic species (especially invertebrates) are neglected and suffer high rates of loss. In this paper, we review the available literature and online resources to compile a list of endemic species that is as comprehensive as possible for the 137 km2 oceanic Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the north-eastern Indian Ocean.
