Supplementa and Corrigenda 2008-2016) Historia naturalis bulgarica, 23: 141-155, 2016 High Altitude Isopoda‚ Arachnida and Myriapoda in the Old World (supplementa and corrigenda 2008-2016) Petar Beron Abstract: After the publication of my monograph (Beron, 2008) appeared many new papers containing data on Arachnida and Myriapoda found in the Old World at or above 2200 m. In this supplement are added 12 sp. of Opilions, 37 sp. of spiders, and 74 sp. of Diplopoda. Several changes occurred in the taxonomy of some groups, following taxonomic revi- sions. Several genera of Opiliones are no more in Phalangiidae, but in Sclerosomatidae, Fuhrmanodesmidae became synonyme of Trichopolydesmidae, etc. “Palpatores” are now distributed between the suborders Eupnoi and Dyspnoi. Several specialists, and especially Golovatch, published many new taxa of high mountain Diplopoda. Again Golovatch synonymized several genera of Diplopoda (Martensosoma, Nepalomorpha, Parorthomorpha, Armolites, Orophosoma), known from the high mountains, under Delartrum Attems. For many taxa has been “raised” the upper limit of distri- bution and they have been published from other mountains.

  • Arachnozoogeographical Analysis of the Boundary Between Eastern Palearctic and Indomalayan Region
    Historia naturalis bulgarica, 23: 5-36, 2016 Arachnozoogeographical analysis of the boundary between Eastern Palearctic and Indomalayan Region Petar Beron Abstract: This study aims to test how the distribution of various orders of Arachnida follows the classical subdivision of Asia and where the transitional zone between the Eastern Palearctic (Holarctic Kingdom) and the Indomalayan Region (Paleotropic) is situated. This boundary includes Thar Desert, Karakorum, Himalaya, a band in Central China, the line north of Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands. The conclusion is that most families of Arachnida (90), excluding most of the representatives of Acari, are common for the Palearctic and Indomalayan Regions. There are no endemic orders or suborders in any of them. Regarding Arach- nida, their distribution does not justify the sharp difference between the two Kingdoms (Paleotropical and Holarctic) in Eastern Eurasia. The transitional zone (Sino-Japanese Realm) of Holt et al. (2013) also does not satisfy the criteria for outlining an area on the same footing as the Palearctic and Indomalayan Realms. Key words: Palearctic, Indomalayan, Arachnozoogeography, Arachnida According to the classical subdivision the region’s high mountains and plateaus. In southern Indomalayan Region is formed from the regions in Asia the boundary of the Palearctic is largely alti- Asia that are south of the Himalaya, and a zone in tudinal.

In Bangladesh, very few contributions are available on the taxonomic study on these arachnids. The present paper contains an updated checklist of the spider fauna of Bangladesh based on the published records of different workers and the identified collections of the recent studies by the author. It includes a total of 334 species of spiders belong to the infraorders Mygalomorphae and Araneomorphae under 21 families and 100 genera. A brief diagnosis of different families and their domination together with the distribution throughout the country are provided herewith. Key words: Checklist, spiders, Araneae, Arachnida, Bangladesh INTRODUCTION Bangladesh is basically a riverine agricultural country. It lies between 20.35ºN and 26.75ºN latitude and 88.03ºE and 92.75ºE longitude, covering an area of 1,47,570 sq. km (55,126 sq. miles). The country as such offers varied climatic situations viz., temperature, rainfall, humidity, fogmist, dew and Haor- frost, winds etc. (Rashid 1977). With the vast agricultural lands, also there are different kinds of evergreen, deciduous and mangrove forests staying different areas of the country viz., the southern Sunderbans, northern Bhawal and Madhupur forests and eastern Chittagong and Chittagong Hill-Tracts forest. Along with the agricultural lands, each of the forest ecosystems is composed of numerous species of spider fauna of the country.

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).

  • Meter Scale Variation in Shrub Dominance and Soil Moisture Structure Arctic Arthropod Communities
    Meter scale variation in shrub dominance and soil moisture structure Arctic arthropod communities Rikke Reisner Hansen1,2, Oskar Liset Pryds Hansen1,2, Joseph J. Bowden1, Urs A. Treier1,3,4, Signe Normand1,3,4 and Toke Høye1,2,5 1 Arctic Research Centre, Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University, Aarhus C, Denmark 2 Department of Bioscience, Kalø, Aarhus University, Rønde, Denmark 3 Ecoinformatics & Biodiversity, Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark 4 Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research, Birmensdorf, Switzerland 5 Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark ABSTRACT The Arctic is warming at twice the rate of the rest of the world. This impacts Arctic species both directly, through increased temperatures, and indirectly, through structural changes in their habitats. Species are expected to exhibit idiosyncratic responses to structural change, which calls for detailed investigations at the species and community level. Here, we investigate how arthropod assemblages of spiders and beetles respond to variation in habitat structure at small spatial scales. We sampled transitions in shrub dominance and soil moisture between three different habitats (fen, dwarf shrub heath, and tall shrub tundra) at three different sites along a fjord gradient in southwest Greenland, using yellow pitfall cups. We identified 2,547 individuals belonging to 47 species. We used species richness estimation, indicator species analysis and latent variable modeling to examine differences in arthropod community structure in response to habitat variation at local (within site) and regional scales (between sites). We estimated species responses to the environment by fitting species-specific generalized linear models with Submitted 5May2016 environmental covariates.
