Harvestmen (Arachnida, Opiliones) from Talysh, with Description of a New Genus and Other Taxonomical Changes
Fragment a Faunistica 54 (1): 47-58,2011 PL ISSN 0015-9301 © MUSEUM AND INSTITUTE OF ZOOLOGY PAS Harvestmen (Arachnida, Opiliones) from Talysh, with description of a new genus and other taxonomical changes Nataly Yu. SNEGOV AY A* and Wojciech Staręga ** *ZooIogical Institute NAS of Azerbaijan, proezd 1128, kvartal 504, Baku, AZE1073, Azerbaijan; e- mail: snegovaya @yahoo. com **Institute of Biology, Life Sciences and Humanistic University, Prusa 12, 08-110 Siedlce, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: From the Talysh region in Azerbaijan 14 species of harvestmen were recorded during the field investigations of the senior author. One genus and species were new for science and one new for the region. Two names have to be synonymized and one species transferred to other genus. Key words: Opiliones, Talysh, Azerbaijan, Lenkoraniella nigricoxa, new species, new genus, new synonymy Introduction The mountainous region Talysh is the south-eastern part of Azerbaijan between 38°24' and 39°22' N and 47°58' and 48°52' E, with total area 5370 km2. It adjoins on the North with Mugan Steppe, on the East - with Caspian Sea and on the South and West it forms the border with Iran. Before our researches started only 12 harvestmen species were known from Talysh. The data of Morin (1937) repeated by Bogachev (1951): Acropsopilio talischensis Morin, Opilio coxipunctus (Sorensen), O. ejuncidus Thorell, O. lepidus L. Koch, O. consputus (Simon), O. pallens (Kulczyński), Zacheus bispinifrons Roewer, being either doubtful or simply incredible and the revision of the Morin’s material is impossible - there is nothing left (either destroyed before or during the War). -
(Opiliones, Arachnida) Species from the Balkan Peninsula. II
© Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Linzer biol. Beitr. 35/1 273-288 30.6.2003 Rare and endemic harvestmen (Opiliones, Arachnida) species from the Balkan Peninsula. II. Three species new for the Bulgarian fauna with zoogeographical notes P.G. MlTOV Abstract: With the present paper the harvestmen-species Platybessobius singularis ROE WER 1940, Graecophalangium atticum ROE WER 1923, and Rafalskia cretica (ROEWER 1923) are added to the list of Bulgarian Opiliones. For the first time detailed drawings of the copulatory organs of the mentioned species are provided, the origin of these taxa is examined in relation to their phenological characteristics, and a zoogeographical classification is proposed. Besides, new chorological data about the opilionid species Trogulus graecus DAHL 1903, Zachaeus crista (BRÜLLE 1832), Opilio saxatilis C.L. KOCH 1839, and Egaenus convexus (C.L. KOCH 1835) in Bulgaria are presented. Key words: harvestmen, Opiliones, Platybessobius singularis, Graecophalangium atticum, Rafalskia cretica, genital morphology, chorology, zoogeographical notes, Bulgaria. Introduction So far, the Bulgarian Opiliones are represented by 51 species included in 29 generayand 6 families (Sironidae SIMON 1879 (5 spp.), Phalangodidae SIMON 1879 (2 spp.), Nemastomatidae SIMON 1879 (12 spp.), Dicranolasmatidae SIMON 1879 (3 spp.), Trogulidae SUNDEVALL 1833 (3 spp.), and Phalangiidae SIMON 1879 (26 spp.)) (STARE.GA 1976, JUBERTHIE 1991, BERON & MlTOV 1996, MlTOV 1994, 1995, 1997, 2001,2002). While Bulgarian materials of Opiliones were examined, three further, previously not recorded, species were found among them - i. e. Platybessobius singularis ROEWER 1940 (Trogulidae), Graecophalangium atticum ROEWER 1923, and Rafalskia cretica (ROEWER 1923) (Phalangiidae). The first two species pertain to genera hitherto unknown from the territory of Bulgaria. -

Mitov Abstract The opilionid fauna of Dobrudzha is not well studied, and Northern and Southern Department of Zoology and Dobrudzha have not been studied equally. For example, only 15 species have Anthropology, Faculty of Biology, been reported from Northern Dobrudzha, while from Southern Dobrudzha they University of Sofia, 8 Dragan are three times less. As a result of this study and the summarized data from Zankov Blvd., 1164 Sofia, Bulgaria. literature, 17 harvestmen species (about 28% of the Bulgarian harvestmen e-mail: [email protected] fauna) were found in the area of Southern Dobrudzha.

From the territory of its adjacent regions 18 opilionid species were recorded, four of them (Trogulus closanicus, Dicranolasma thracium, Rilaena buresi, Eudasylobus beschkovi) being new to these regions.

Complementary description of Megabunus hadzii (Kratochvíl, 1935) comb. n. is given on a male specimen found in the South Western coast of Albania. Dasylobus arcadius (Roewer, 1956) is redescribed on the basis of the second known specimen found in Evrytania, Greece. Leiobunum rumelicum Šilhavý, 1965 is reported for the first time from Eastern Rhodope Mts., Bulgaria and additions to the original description are presented. Notes on the variability of the Greek populations of Metaplatybunus grandissimus (C. L. Koch, 1839) and Zachaeus crista (Brullé, 1832) are given. Opilio putnik Karaman, 1999 and Opilio dinaricus Šilhavý, 1938 are reported for the first time from Albania, and further notes are given on the distribution and ecology of Megabunus pifkoi Murányi, 2008. Keywords.
