List of Range States of CMS-Listed Species Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals Secretariat provided by the United Nations Environment Programme 14 th MEETING OF THE CMS SCIENTIFIC COUNCIL Bonn, Germany, 14-17 March 2007 CMS/ScC14/Doc.26 LIST OF RANGE STATES OF MIGRATORY SPECIES INCLUDED IN THE CMS APPENDICES 1. The present list has been compiled by the UNEP/CMS Secretariat, in accordance with Article IX, paragraph 4f), of the Convention, based on information obtained from Parties and supplemented by other sources. Species added to the Appendices by the Conference of the Parties (Bonn: 1985, Geneva: 1988 and 1991, Nairobi: 1994, Geneva: 1997, Cape Town: 1999, Bonn: 2002, Nairobi: 2005), have been included. 2. The term “Range State” used in the present context has the same meaning as defined in Article I, paragraph I, of the Convention: “... f) “Range” means all the areas of land or water that a migratory species inhabits, stays in temporarily, crosses or overflies at any time on its normal migration route; ... h) “Range State” in relation to a particular migratory species means any State (and where appropriate any other Party referred to under sub-paragraph (k) of this paragraph) that exercises jurisdiction over any part of the range of that migratory species, or a State, flag vessels of which are engaged outside national jurisdictional limits in taking that migratory species; ... (k) “Party” means a State or any regional economic integration organisation constituted by sovereign States which has competence in respect of the negotiation, conclusion and application of international agreements in matters covered by this Convention for which this Convention is in force.” 3. The present list serves the following purposes: • to assist the Parties in determining whether they are Range States in the sense of the above definitions; • to assist the Conference of the Parties in making recommendations to the Parties for improving the conservation status of migratory species and reviewing the progress being made under Agreements; and • to provide the basic information necessary for the Scientific Council to consider, recommend or coordinate appropriate conservation measures to the Conference of the Parties for the species listed in Appendices I and II. 4. In order to maintain an up-to-date list, Parties are required under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Convention to keep the Secretariat informed in regard to which of the migratory species listed in Appendices I and II they consider themselves to be Range States, including provision of information on their flag vessels engaged outside national jurisdiction or limits in taking the migratory species concerned and, where possible, future plans in respect of such taking. For reasons of economy, documents are printed in a limited number, and will not be distributed at the meeting. Delegates are kindly requested to bring their copy to the meeting and not to request additional copies. Notes 1. Place names appearing in the list correspond to those used in the United Nations Terminology Bulletin No. 347/Rev.1 (United Nations, 1997), as amended, and the ISO 3166 International Standard (International Organisation for Standardisation, 1988), as amended. A number of country names have been inverted to facilitate reference, as follows: Congo, Democratic Republic of the; Korea, Democratic Republic of; Korea, Republic of; Macedonia, the former Yugoslav Republic of; Moldova, Republic of; Tanzania, United Republic of. A number of abbreviated names have been used, in accordance with the above: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (United Kingdom); and United States of America (United States). 2. The designations employed and the presentation of the material in this list do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat concerning the legal status of any country, territory, or area, or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. 1 3. The names of Range States that are Parties to the Convention as at 1 February 2004 are shown in capitals: e.g., ALBANIA. If a CMS Party has entered a reservation with respect to a particular species, its name appears in normal, underlined type: e.g., Norway . 4. Where appropriate, dependant territories, overseas departments, provinces, states etc. appear in parentheses following the name of the State concerned, according to the following convention. The entry “UNITED KINGDOM (Montserrat)” indicates that only the island of Montserrat, and not the mainland, is to be considered part of the range of a particular species. Conversely, the entry “UNITED KINGDOM (including Montserrat)” indicates that the range encompasses mainland United Kingdom as well as the island of Montserrat. If the Convention does not apply to a dependant territory, overseas department etc. of a Party, the entry is shown in normal type: for example, “Denmark (Greenland)”. 5. “(?)” after a country listing denotes unconfirmed sightings. 6. “(Ex)” after a country listing denotes that the taxon is extinct in that country. Some species have only recently disappeared from those countries; if individuals recover in number they may still return to parts of their former range. For this reason, these countries are also included in the list. 7. Reference to “international waters” indicates migration of a species in or above the sea or oceans beyond the limits of national jurisdiction, which falls within the substantive scope of the Convention, pursuant to Article I, paragraphs 1f) and h). The text in parentheses indicates the specific regions of these waters in which migration takes place. 8. The list does not distinguish different categories of known usage and occurrence. Therefore, many of the countries listed as Range States for certain species, e.g. Numenius tenuirostris, have been identified as such based on records of vagrancy rather than established patterns of migration, according to the information available. 9. For Aves in Appendix II, Range States have been listed only for individual species or for taxa that include a small number of species; Range States will be specified for taxa with larger numbers of species when Agreements for particular species or groups of species are negotiated. 1 A dispute exists between the Governments of Argentina and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning sovereignty over the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands and their surrounding marine areas. 2 References CITES 1988.

  • Salticidae (Arachnida, Araneae) of Thailand: New Species and Records of Epeus Peckham & Peckham, 1886 and Ptocasius Simon, 1
    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. Subjects Biodiversity, Biogeography, Entomology, Taxonomy, Zoology Keywords Salticidae, Jumping spiders, Oriental region, Taxonomy, Distribution, Thailand, Epeus, Submitted 28 January 2020 Ptocasius Accepted 23 May 2020 Published 22 June 2020 INTRODUCTION Corresponding author Barbara Maria Patoleta, The list of jumping spiders from Thailand comprises 29 genera and 46 species (WSC, [email protected] 2020), seven genera and 13 species being poorly documented and in need of verification Academic editor (Żabka & Gardzińska, 2017).

Vol. 3, No. 6-1, 2015, pp. 13-23. doi: 10.11648/j.ajls.s.2015030601.13 Abstract: Spiders are one of the more diverse arthropod taxa, ranking seventh in global diversity, which makes them a fascinating group to study [1]. The correct identification of many spider species is considered problematic due to complex variation in morphology [2]. The Egyptian spider fauna are incompletely known due to scarcity of studies on this group especially in Upper Egypt. So, the present key for identifying terrestrial spiders at Qena Governorate is a part of a comprehensive study conducted at the region to study the ecology and taxonomy of this group. The present key was designed to facilitate identification of terrestrial spiders at Qena Governorate using their morphological characteristics.

Abstract: In the present study, monthly and seasonal fluctuations of densities of terrestrial spiders were recorded in six different sites at Qena Governorate during the period of one year (February, 2012 - January, 2013). The study revealed the occurrence of 1247 specimens belonging to 14 families and including 23 species of order Araneae. Family Salticidae recorded the highest number during the whole period of study (278 specimens) while family Agelenidae recorded the lowest number in the same period of study (4 specimens). It was observed that the maximal number was collected from Thanatus albini (199 specimens), while Halodromus barbarae was the least species in number since only 2 specimens were collected. The densities of the recorded spiders varied seasonally and the general seasonal peak was recorded during autumn (363 specimens), while the lowest density was observed during winter (215 specimens). Regarding the sex ratio of the collected spiders from all sites, it was clear that there were 213 adult male specimens, whereas the adult females were represented by 440 specimens.

Dean Department of Entomology, Texas A&M University College Station, Texas 77843 INTRODUCTION Field assessment of the natural diets of jumping spiders is difficult and time-consuming. In a recent 200 man-hour period of direct field observation in Texas (M. N. and D. A. D. unpubl.), only 50 of 700 jumping spider individuals encountered were feeding. Due to difficulties like these, little is known about the natural diets of jumping spiders and Plexippus paykulli (Audouin), a common jumping spider of approximately 9-12mm adult length, is no exception. This species is geographically cosmopolitan in distribution (Platnick 1989). It was reported from Africa (Mathis and Berland 1933) and Asia (Rao et al. 1981, Miah et al. 1986). Plexippus paykulli was introduced to the American continent according to Edwards (1979a), and occurs from Florida to Texas, south to Paraguay (Edwards 1979a, Jackson and Macnab 1989). In North America, adult and immature P. paykulli can be found throughout the year and usually take up residence in and on buildings (Edwards 1979a), however, it also has been found in Florida citrus groves (Muma 1975, Mansour et al. 1982), and Alabama cotton fields (Skinner 1974).

The jumping spider [Plexippus paykulli (Audouin)] is ranked in the Araneae, family Salticidae. It isone of the common spider in asiaticpennywort growing areas and its surrounding areas. It is a small spider that can eat various types of insect pests. A female lays egg in a silken sac around 30-65 eggs. Egg incubation period is 11-12 days. It undergoes 7 spideringbofore being adults. The immature stages take 112.38 days and adults live for 19-30 days. Hairs are found cover its entire body and legs. The females are nearly the same size as males. Color of carapace and abdomen of adult spider can be used for identification of males and females including palpi. Key words :Asiaticpennywort, Plexippus paykulli Introduction Spiders are classified in the Arachnida class in the phylum Arthhropoda. Plexippus paykulliis. Its common name is a jumping spider, ranked in the Araneae family. Salticidae are small spider. Tanhiret et al. (2014) stated that the male spider is black color and has a white striped pattern alternately, and the front of the legs are completely black. The females are brown and have a light brown band in the middle of the thorax to the ventral part of the abdomen (Nyffeler and Benz, 1987).

SMITH ET AL. Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2005, 144, 191–212. With 3 figures A classification of Danaus butterflies (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) based upon data from morphology and DNA DAVID A. S. SMITH FLS1*, GUGS LUSHAI FLS2 and JOHN A. ALLEN FLS2 1Natural History Museum, Eton College, Windsor SL4 6EW, UK 2Ecology & Biodiversity Division, School of Biological Sciences, University of Southampton SO16 7PX, UK Received September 2003; accepted for publication March 2005 Classification of the cosmopolitan butterfly genus Danaus (Nymphalidae: Danainae) is revised at subgeneric, specific and subspecific levels, combining for the first time mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence information with mor- phological data. Tree topologies based on the nuclear genome (allozymes, pheromone components, the morphology of all life history stages and nuclear DNA sequences), on the one hand, and mitochondrial DNA, on the other, are incon- gruent and challenge the current taxonomy of the genus. Although earlier classifications, based on adult morphology alone, are, in general, well supported by an analysis of total evidence, the mitochondrial phylogeny shows that the species D. chrysippus and its subgenus Anosia are deeply paraphyletic. Subspecies dorippus of D. chrysippus is the basal clade of the genus and is reinstated as the species D. dorippus. The former species D. plexaure is demoted to a subspecies of D. eresimus. The specific status of D. erippus, as distinct from D. plexippus, is tentatively supported. On the strength of the new data, division of the monophyletic genus Danaus s.l.
