Lista De Las Arañas (Arachnida: Araneae) De Cuba Lista de las arañas (Arachnida: Araneae) de Cuba. Giraldo Alayón García. Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, Obispo #61, esquina Oficios, Plaza de Armas, Habana Vieja 101OO. La fauna de arañas de Cuba ha sido censada en cuatro oportunidades, que han cubierto - o al menos esa ha sido la intención- todo lo conocido cuando fueron escritas. Banks (1909) basado en colectas de finales del siglo pasado y principios del presente, cita 100 registros nuevos y 11 especies nuevas. Franganillo (1936), de una forma muy peculiar, resume su propia labordesde 1919, en un libro que esencialmentemenciona sus hallazgos: cinco géneros Cyrtopholis d. debí/is Franganillo, 1931 * nuevos y 185 especies nuevas, además de otros re­ Cyrtopholis debí/is bispinosa Franganillo, 1931 gistros.

Here we focus on an orbweaver spider genus Cyrtognatha Accepted: 1 November 2018 (Tetragnathidae) from the Caribbean, with the aims to reconstruct its evolutionary history, examine Published: xx xx xxxx its biogeographic history in the archipelago, and to estimate the timing and route of Caribbean colonization. Specifcally, we test if Cyrtognatha biogeographic history is consistent with an ancient vicariant scenario (the GAARlandia landbridge hypothesis) or overwater dispersal. We reconstructed a species level phylogeny based on one mitochondrial (COI) and one nuclear (28S) marker. We then used this topology to constrain a time-calibrated mtDNA phylogeny, for subsequent biogeographical analyses in BioGeoBEARS of over 100 originally sampled Cyrtognatha individuals, using models with and without a founder event parameter. Our results suggest a radiation of Caribbean Cyrtognatha, containing 11 to 14 species that are exclusively single island endemics. Although biogeographic reconstructions cannot refute a vicariant origin of the Caribbean clade, possibly an artifact of sparse outgroup availability, they indicate timing of colonization that is much too recent for GAARlandia to have played a role. Instead, an overwater colonization to the Caribbean in mid-Miocene better explains the data. From Hispaniola, Cyrtognatha subsequently dispersed to, and diversifed on, the other islands of the Greater, and Lesser Antilles. Within the constraints of our island system and data, a model that omits the founder event parameter from biogeographic analysis is less suitable than the equivalent model with a founder event.

  • Arachnids (Excluding Acarina and Pseudoscorpionida) of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, Oklahoma
    OCCASIONAL PAPERS THE MUSEUM TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY NUMBER 67 5 SEPTEMBER 1980 ARACHNIDS (EXCLUDING ACARINA AND PSEUDOSCORPIONIDA) OF THE WICHITA MOUNTAINS WILDLIFE REFUGE, OKLAHOMA JAMES C. COKENDOLPHER AND FRANK D. BRYCE The Wichita Mountains are located in eastern Greer, southern Kiowa, and northwestern Comanche counties in Oklahoma. Since their formation more than 300 million years ago, these rugged mountains have been fragmented and weathered, until today the highest peak (Mount Pinchot) stands only 756 meters above sea level (Tyler, 1977). The mountains are composed predominantly of granite and gabbro. Forests of oak, elm, and walnut border most waterways, while at elevations from 153 to 427 meters prair­ ies are the predominant vegetation type. A more detailed sum­ mary of the climatic and biotic features of the Wichitas has been presented by Blair and Hubbell (1938). A large tract of land in the eastern range of the Wichita Moun­ tains (now northeastern Comanche County) was set aside as the Wichita National Forest by President McKinley during 1901. In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt created a game preserve on those lands managed by the Forest Service. Since 1935, this pre­ serve has been known as the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Numerous papers on Oklahoma spiders have been published (Bailey and Chada, 1968; Bailey et al., 1968; Banks et al, 1932; Branson, 1958, 1959, 1966, 1968; Branson and Drew, 1972; Gro- thaus, 1968; Harrel, 1962, 1965; Horner, 1975; Rogers and Horner, 1977), but only a single, comprehensive work (Banks et al., 1932) exists covering all arachnid orders in the state.

Agric. & Cons . Serv. P.O. Box 1269 Gainesville, Florida 32602 USA ABSTRACT Over a seven-year period, approximately 35,000 spiders representing 26 families, 133 genera, and 234 species were captured in Washington County, Mississippi, by pitfall, sweepnet, vacuum, bag, and hand. Specimens were collected in 10 different habitat types and in four vegetational strata . Old-field habitats yielded the most species (152) and residential lawns the fewest (14) . Considering all habitats sampled, the ground layer produced 111 species, the herbaceous strata 133, the shrub layer 49, and the tree strata 30 species . The sweepnet method of capture obtained 128 species, pitfall 95, hand 61, vacuum 53, and bagging 19 species. The largest number of species were obtained in spring and early summer (maximum of 125 in May), with the fewest in mid-winter (Jan . = 24) . Twenty-one species were considered abundant, 51 common, 67 uncommon, and 95 rare . Additions to the state list of Dorris (1972) number 102 species, for a new state total of 364 species . A comparison with the North American fauna and with other surveys indicates that Washington County is underrepresented both in cursorial forms active on the soil surface and web-spinning forms typical of undisturbed habitats .

    DISTINGUISHING THE JUMPING SPIDERS ERIS MILITARIS AND ERIS FLA VA IN NORTH AMERICA (ARANEAE: SALTICIDAE)* BY WAYNE MADDISON Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 The jumping spiders now identified as Eris marginata are among the most frequently encountered in North America, for they are common on trees, shrubs and herbs throughout much of the continent. However, two species have been confused under this name. One is an abundant transamerican species whose proper name is Eris militaris; the other is Eris flava, widely distributed in eastern North America though common only in the southeast. In this paper I describe how they may be distinguished. The abbrevia- tion MCZ refers to the Museum of Comparative Zoology; ZMB to the Zoologisches Museum, Humboldt-Universittt zu Berlin.

  • COMUNIDAD DE ARAÑAS ORBITELARES (Araneae: Orbiculariae) ASOCIADA AL BOSQUE ALTOANDINO DEL SANTUARIO FLORA Y FAUNA GALERAS, NARIÑO, COLOMBIA*

Romo1 y Eduardo Flórez2 Resumen Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la composición, diversidad y abundancia de arañas orbitelares en tres hábitats aledaños a la Laguna Negra, Santuario de Flora y Fauna Galeras, correspondientes a Bosque, Arbustal y Pastizal, identificándose en cada uno de ellos los microhábitats y estratos vegetales ocupados por las arañas orbitelares para la ubicación de sus telas y refugios. La araneofauna orbitelar fue muestreada manualmente mediante la técnica “revelado de telas”, que consiste en espolvorear la vegetación con harina para visualizar los hilos; y estuvo conformada por tres familias: Araneidae, Tetragnathidae y Uloboridae, distribuidas en 6 géneros, siendo Chrysometa el dominante. Se detectó además que los hábitats de Arbustal y Pastizal comparten el 77% del total de las especies registradas, indicando más de una comunidad de arañas orbitelares en más de un tipo fisionómico de la vegetación. En cuanto a los estratos, se encontró que el bajo y medio poseen el mayor número de individuos, esto al parecer por la amplia disponibilidad de recursos físicos que les brinda la vegetación para la construcción de las telas. Concluyendo, finalmente, que los principales factores que pueden influir en la distribución y diversidad de la araneofauna orbitelar estudiada, son la diversidad y abundancia de soportes estructurales en la vegetación y la disponibilidad de alimento. Palabras clave: Arañas, abundancia, estructura vegetal, telas orbiculares.

  • Introduction: the Emerging Alliance of World Religions and Ecology
    Emerging Alliance of World Religions and Ecology 1 Mary Evelyn Tucker and John A. Grim Introduction: The Emerging Alliance of World Religions and Ecology HIS ISSUE OF DÆDALUS brings together for the first time diverse perspectives from the world’s religious traditions T regarding attitudes toward nature with reflections from the fields of science, public policy, and ethics. The scholars of religion in this volume identify symbolic, scriptural, and ethical dimensions within particular religions in their relations with the natural world. They examine these dimensions both historically and in response to contemporary environmental problems. Our Dædalus planning conference in October of 1999 fo- cused on climate change as a planetary environmental con- cern.1 As Bill McKibben alerted us more than a decade ago, global warming may well be signaling “the end of nature” as we have come to know it.2 It may prove to be one of our most challenging issues in the century ahead, certainly one that will need the involvement of the world’s religions in addressing its causes and alleviating its symptoms. The State of the World 2000 report cites climate change (along with population) as the critical challenge of the new century. It notes that in solving this problem, “all of society’s institutions—from organized re- ligion to corporations—have a role to play.”3 That religions have a role to play along with other institutions and academic disciplines is also the premise of this issue of Dædalus. The call for the involvement of religion begins with the lead essays by a scientist, a policy expert, and an ethicist.

Wolff1 Biology Department Trinity Christian College 6601 West College Drive Palos Heights, IL 60463 USA The following is a list of the jumping spiders that have been reported from the Caribbean region. We have interpreted this in a broad sense, so that all islands from Trinidad to the Bahamas have been included. Furthermore, we have included Bermuda, even though it is well north of the Caribbean region proper, as a more logical extension of the island fauna rather than the continental North American fauna. This was mentioned by Banks (1902b) nearly a century ago. Country or region (e. g., pantropical) records are included for those species which have broader ranges than the Caribbean area. We have not specifically included the islands of the Florida Keys, even though these could legitimately be included in the Caribbean region, because the known fauna is mostly continental. However, when Florida is known as the only continental U.S.A.

The spider diversity of the family Anyphaenidae in premontane, low evergreen montane and cloud forest from the Chocó region of Ecuador is examined. A total of 287 adult specimens were collected and 19 morphospecies were identified based on male specimens. Thirteen new species are described and one new genus is proposed. Five new species are described in the genus Katissa Brescovit, 1997: Katissa kurusiki sp. nov., K. puyu sp. nov., K. tamya sp. nov., K. yaya sp. nov. and K. guyasamini sp. nov. The new genus Shuyushka gen. nov. is proposed and includes three species: Shuyushka achachay gen. et sp. nov., S. moscai gen. et sp. nov. and S.
