Wakelin, Jeremy Rolfe and Pascale Michel Cover: A large sheetweb sider, Cambridgea foliata – Not Threatened. Photo: Jeremy Rolfe. New Zealand Threat Classification Series is a scientific monograph series presenting publications related to the New Zealand Threat Classification System (NZTCS). Most will be lists providing NZTCS status of members of a plant or animal group (e.g. algae, birds, spiders). There are currently 23 groups, each assessed once every 5 years. From time to time the manual that defines the categories, criteria and process for the NZTCS will be reviewed. Publications in this series are considered part of the formal international scientific literature. This report is available from the departmental website in pdf form. Titles are listed in our catalogue on the website, refer www.doc.govt.nz under Publications. The NZTCS database can be accessed at nztcs.org.nz.

The Invertebrate Life of New Zealand: a Phylogeographic Approach

Received: 11 May 2011; in revised form: 16 June 2011 / Accepted: 17 June 2011 / Published: 1 July 2011 Abstract: Phylogeography contributes to our knowledge of regional biotas by integrating spatial and genetic information. In New Zealand, comprising two main islands and hundreds of smaller ones, phylogeography has transformed the way we view our biology and allowed comparison with other parts of the world. Here we review studies on New Zealand terrestrial and freshwater invertebrates. We find little evidence of congruence among studies of different taxa; instead there are signatures of partitioning in many different regions and expansion in different directions. A number of studies have revealed unusually high genetic distances within putative species, and in those where other data confirm this taxonomy, the revealed phylogeographic structure contrasts with northern hemisphere continental systems. Some taxa show a signature indicative of Pliocene tectonic events encompassing land extension and mountain building, whereas others are consistent with range expansion following the last glacial maximum (LGM) of the Pleistocene. -
Prospects for Using DNA Barcoding to Identify Spiders in Species-Rich Genera

ZooKeys 16: 27-46. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.16.239 Abstract While previous research has indicated the utility of DNA barcoding in identifying spider species sampled from a localized region, the eff ectiveness of this method over a broader geographic scale and with denser taxon sampling has not yet been extensively considered. Using both new and published data from 1801 individuals belonging to 361 morphospecies, this study examined intra- and interspecifi c divergences for 19 genera that were each represented by at least 10 morphospecies. We particularly focused on increasing species-level sampling in order to better characterize levels of interspecifi c divergence within species-rich genera and to examine the prevalence of a “barcode gap” (discontinuity between intra- and interspecifi c di- vergences). -

A New Record of the Australian Wolf Spider Artoriopsis Expolita (L. Koch, 1877) (Araneae: Lycosidae) in New Zealand
38 Cor Vink and Stephen Thorpe A new record of the Australian wolf spider Artoriopsis expolita (L. Koch, 1877) (Araneae: Lycosidae) in New Zealand Cor J. Vink1,2 and Stephen Thorpe3 1Canterbury Museum, Rolleston Avenue, Christchurch 8013 2Entomology Research Museum, PO Box 85084, Lincoln University, Lincoln 7647 3School of Biological Sciences, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland 1142 Corresponding author: Cor J. Vink, Canterbury Museum, Rolleston Avenue, Christchurch 8013 Email: [email protected] Artoriopsis is an Australian genus of wolf spiders (Lycosidae) that includes Artoriopsis expolita (L. Koch, 1877) and six other species (Framenau 2007). In 2010, a male specimen of A. expolita was caught in a pitfall trap at Shakespear Regional Park, which is at the tip of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula in the Auckland Region. The pitfall trap was part of an invertebrate survey by the Auckland Council. The specimen was identified using Framenau (2007). Artoriopsis expolita is the same size and looks superficially like Anoteropsis hilaris (L. Koch, 1877), which was also found at Shakespear Regional Park. Artoriopsis expolita can be differentiated from A. hilaris and all other New Zealand lycosids by the wide median and marginal bands on the carapace, the shape of the tegular apophysis of the male pedipalp and the large plate covering the atrium of the epigyne (Framenau 2007). A photo of the specimen can be seen at http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Artoriopsis_expolita.jpg. The specimen has been deposited in the Lincoln University Entomology Research Museum (LUNZ00012877). DNA was extracted non-destructively (Paquin & Vink 2009) from two legs using a ZR Genomic DNA™-Tissue MiniPrep kit (Zymo Research). -
