Checklist of Spiders from Indonesia and New Guinea (Arachnida: Araneae) Checklist of Indonesian spiders, June 2011 Checklist of spiders from Indonesia and New Guinea (Arachnida: Araneae) Kathrin Stenchly Department of Crop Sciences, Agroecology, Georg-August-University Goettingen, Grisebachstr. 6, 37077 Goettingen, Germany This checklist is based on data of The World Spider Catalog, Version 11.5 by Norman I. Platnick (available at: http://research.amnh.org/iz/spiders/catalog/INTRO1.html) and includes all spiders that were decsribed for Indonesia and New Guinea. The checklist shows the spider species and their dirstribution on the islands of Indonesia. Indonesia can be devided geographically into the Greater Sunda Islands (Sumatra, Java, Borneo rsp. Kalimantan and Sulawesi), the Lesser Sunda Islands (e.g. Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa, Floes, Timor), the Moluccas and Irian Jaya rsp. New Guinea. These islands that are written in italic are located in direct vicinity of a Greater Sunda Island as Sumatra (e.g. Mentawai Island, Nias Island) and Java (Krakatau) or The Moluccas (e.g. Ambon, Aru Islands). Map of Indonesia: So far, 1954 species (505 genera, 58 families) have been described for Indonesia and New Guinea, of which 499 species were found only on New Guinea.

Biodiversity Data Journal 5: e14789. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.5.e14789 Abstract Background Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) are a classic indicator taxon for evaluating the health of natural environments. However, studies of spiders’ responses to forest succession under natural and anthropogenic disturbance regimes are lacking. Yakushima Island in southwestern Japan has a unique forest ecosystem, and part of the island is designated as a world natural heritage site by UNESCO. Approximately 90% of Yakushima is covered by forest, including both plantations and natural forests. New information We made an inventory of spiders on Yakushima Island by collecting specimens in five forests (two plantations and three natural forests) with Malaise and window traps from 2006 to 2008 (a total of 637 traps). We collected 3487 specimens, representing 31 families and © Osawa T et al.

Thirty nine species of Salticidae from 33 Australian islands are analyzed with respect to their total distribution, dispersal possibilities and relations with the continental fauna. The possibility of the Torres Strait islands as a dispersal route for salticids is discussed.

  • Spider Bites
    Infectious Disease Epidemiology Section Office of Public Health, Louisiana Dept of Health & Hospitals 800-256-2748 (24 hr number) www.infectiousdisease.dhh.louisiana.gov SPIDER BITES Revised 6/13/2007 Epidemiology There are over 3,000 species of spiders native to the United States. Due to fragility or inadequate length of fangs, only a limited number of species are capable of inflicting noticeable wounds on human beings, although several small species of spiders are able to bite humans, but with little or no demonstrable effect. The final determination of etiology of 80% of suspected spider bites in the U.S. is, in fact, an alternate diagnosis. Therefore the perceived risk of spider bites far exceeds actual risk. Tick bites, chemical burns, lesions from poison ivy or oak, cutaneous anthrax, diabetic ulcer, erythema migrans from Lyme disease, erythema from Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, sporotrichosis, Staphylococcus infections, Stephens Johnson syndrome, syphilitic chancre, thromboembolic effects of Leishmaniasis, toxic epidermal necrolyis, shingles, early chicken pox lesions, bites from other arthropods and idiopathic dermal necrosis have all been misdiagnosed as spider bites. Almost all bites from spiders are inflicted by the spider in self defense, when a human inadvertently upsets or invades the spider’s space. Of spiders in the United States capable of biting, only a few are considered dangerous to human beings. Bites from the following species of spiders can result in serious sequelae: Louisiana Office of Public Health – Infectious Disease Epidemiology Section Page 1 of 14 The Brown Recluse: Loxosceles reclusa Photo Courtesy of the Texas Department of State Health Services The most common species associated with medically important spider bites: • Physical characteristics o Length: Approximately 1 inch o Appearance: A violin shaped mark can be visualized on the dorsum (top).

  • Development of the Cursorial Spider, Cheiracanthium Inclusum (Araneae: Miturgidae), on Eggs of Helicoverpa Zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)1
    Development of the Cursorial Spider, Cheiracanthium inclusum (Araneae: Miturgidae), on Eggs of Helicoverpa zea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)1 R. S. Pfannenstiel2 Beneficial Insects Research Unit, USDA-ARS, Weslaco, Texas 78596 USA J. Entomol. Sci. 43(4): 418422 (October 2008) Abstract Development of the cursorial spider, Cheiracanthium inclusum (Hentz) (Araneae: Miturgidae), from emergence to maturity on a diet of eggs of the lepidopteran pest Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was characterized. Cheiracanthium inclusum developed to adulthood with no mortality while feeding on a diet solely of H. zea eggs and water. The number of instars to adulthood varied from 4-5 for males and from 4-6 for females, although most males (84.6%) and females (66.7%) required 5 instars. Males and females took a similar time to become adults (54.2 ± 4.0 and 53.9 ± 2.0 days, respectively). Egg consumption was similar between males and females for the first 4 instars, but differed for the 51 instar and for the total number of eggs consumed to reach adulthood (651.0 ± 40.3 and 866.5 ± 51.4 eggs for males and females, respectively). Individual consumption rates suggest the potential for high impact of C. inclusum individuals on pest populations. Development was faster and survival greater than in previous studies of C. inc/usum development. Key Words spider development, egg predation Spiders have been observed feeding on lepidopteran eggs in several crops (re- viewed by Nyffeler et al. 1990), but only recently has the frequency of these obser- vations (Pfannenstiel and Yeargan 2002, Pfartnenstiel 2005, 2008) suggested that lepidopteran eggs may be a common prey item for some families of cursorial spiders.

  • Taxonomic Notes on Agroeca (Araneae, Liocranidae)
    Arachnol. Mitt. 37: 27-30 Nürnberg, Juli 2009 Taxonomic notes on Agroeca (Araneae, Liocranidae) Torbjörn Kronestedt Abstract: Agroeca gaunitzi Tullgren, 1952 is stated here to be a junior synonym of A. proxima (O. P.-Cambridge, 1871). The illustrations of the male palp attributed to A. proxima in papers by Tullgren of 1946 and 1952 in fact show A. inopina O. P.-Cambridge, 1886. The record of A. inopina from Finland, quite outside its known distribution range, was based on a misidentification. It is argued that the type species of the genus Agroeca Westring, 1861 should be A. proxima (O. P.-Cambridge, 1871), not A. brunnea (Blackwall, 1833) as currently applied. Protagroeca Lohmander, 1944 is placed as an objective synonym of Agroeca Westring, 1861. Key words: Agroeca gaunitzi, synonyms, type species On the identity of Agroeca gaunitzi Tullgren, 1952 Because Agroeca gaunitzi still appears as a valid Agroeca gaunitzi was described based on a single nominal species (HELSDINGEN 2009, PLATNICK male from the southern part of Swedish Lapland 2009), a re-study of the holotype was undertaken in (TULLGREN 1952).

As a result, the following since been assigned to this nominal species and it conclusions were reached: was not mentioned in the most recent taxonomical revision of the genus (GRIMM 1986) nor in the 1.

Volume 10, Issue 2 Ver. 1 (Mar -Apr. 2015), PP 30-33 www.iosrjournals.org Diversity of Spiders from Zolambi Region of Chandoli National Park Dr. Suvarna More Dept. of Zoology P. V. P. Mahavidyalaya, Kavathe Mahankal, Dist. -Sangli. (MS), India 416405 Abstract: Diversity of spiders from Zolambi region of Chandoli National Park in Western Ghats is studied for the first time. A total of 90 species belonging to 55 genera and 19 families are recorded from the study area during 2011-2013 with a dominance of Araneid, Salticid and Lycosid spiders. Key words: Spider diversity, Western Ghats I. Introduction Spiders comprise one of the largest orders of animals. The spider fauna of India has never been studied in its entirety despite of contributions by many arachnologists since Stoliczka (1869). The pioneering contribution on the taxonomy of Indian spiders is that of European arachnologist Stoliczka (1869). Review of available literature reveals that the earliest contribution by Blackwall (1867); Karsch (1873); Simon (1887); Thorell (1895) and Pocock (1900) were the pioneer workers of Indian spiders. They described many species from India. Tikader (1980, 1982), Tikader, described spiders from India. Tikader (1980) compiled a book on Thomisidae spiders of India, comprising two subfamilies, 25 genera and 115 species. Pocock (1900) and Tikader (1980, 1987) made major contributions to the Indian Arachnology, have high lightened spider studies to the notice of other researcher. Tikader (1987) also published the first comprehensive list of Indian spiders, which included 1067 species belonging to 249 genera in 43 families.

    ARTÍCULO: NEW EXTANT AND FOSSIL DOMINICAN REPUBLIC SPIDER RECORDS, WITH TWO NEW SYNONYMIES AND COMMENTS ON TAPHONOMIC BIAS OF AMBER PRESERVATION David Penney Abstract: A collection of 23 identifiable extant spider species from the Dominican Republic revealed eight (= 35%) new species records for the country and five (= 22%) for the island of Hispaniola. The collection includes the first record of the family Prodidomidae from Hispaniola. Phantyna guanica (Gertsch, 1946) is identified as a junior synonym of Emblyna altamira (Gertsch & Davis, 1942) (Dictynidae) and Ceraticelus solitarius Bryant, 1948 is identified as a junior synonym of C. paludigenus Crosby & Bishop, 1925 (Linyphiidae). Such a large proportion of new records in such a small sample demonstrates that the extant spider fauna of the Dominican Republic is poorly known ARTÍCULO: and is worthy of further investigation, particularly in light of its potential for quantifying New extant and fossil Dominican bias associated with the amber-preserved fauna. New records of fossil spider species Republic spider records, with two preserved in Miocene amber are provided. The taphonomic bias towards a significantly new synonymies and comments higher number of male compared to female spiders as inclusions in Dominican Republic on taphonomic bias of amber amber is a genuine phenomenon. preservation Key words: Arachnida, Araneae, Dictynidae, Linyphiidae, Miocene, palaeontology, taphonomy, taxonomy, Hispaniola.

  • Final Project Completion Report
    CEPF SMALL GRANT FINAL PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT Organization Legal Name: - Tarantula (Araneae: Theraphosidae) spider diversity, distribution and habitat-use: A study on Protected Area adequacy and Project Title: conservation planning at a landscape level in the Western Ghats of Uttara Kannada district, Karnataka Date of Report: 18 August 2011 Dr. Manju Siliwal Wildlife Information Liaison Development Society Report Author and Contact 9-A, Lal Bahadur Colony, Near Bharathi Colony Information Peelamedu Coimbatore 641004 Tamil Nadu, India CEPF Region: The Western Ghats Region (Sahyadri-Konkan and Malnad-Kodugu Corridors). 2. Strategic Direction: To improve the conservation of globally threatened species of the Western Ghats through systematic conservation planning and action. The present project aimed to improve the conservation status of two globally threatened (Molur et al. 2008b, Siliwal et al., 2008b) ground dwelling theraphosid species, Thrigmopoeus insignis and T. truculentus endemic to the Western Ghats through systematic conservation planning and action. Investment Priority 2.1 Monitor and assess the conservation status of globally threatened species with an emphasis on lesser-known organisms such as reptiles and fish. The present project was focused on an ignored or lesser-known group of spiders called Tarantulas/ Theraphosid spiders and provided valuable information on population status and potential conservation sites in Uttara Kannada district, which will help in future monitoring and assessment of conservation status of the two globally threatened theraphosid species T. insignis and Near Threatened T. truculentus. Investment Priority 2.3. Evaluate the existing protected area network for adequate globally threatened species representation and assess effectiveness of protected area types in biodiversity conservation.

Larger, more comprehensive treatments and papers describing new taxa are treated in the first part of this Records [Bishop Museum Occasional Papers 48]. Foraminifera of Hawaii: Literature Survey THOMAS A. BURCH & BEATRICE L. BURCH (Research Associates in Zoology, Hawaii Biological Survey, Bishop Museum, 1525 Bernice Street, Honolulu, HI 96817, USA) The result of a compilation of a checklist of Foraminifera of the Hawaiian Islands is a list of 755 taxa reported in the literature below. The entire list is planned to be published as a Bishop Museum Technical Report. This list also includes other names that have been applied to Hawaiian foraminiferans. Loeblich & Tappan (1994) and Jones (1994) dis- agree about which names should be used; therefore, each is cross referenced to the other. Literature Cited Bagg, R.M., Jr. 1980.
