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.

The proposed synonymy of H. laeta withH. torpida (D eeleman -R einhold 1983) is annuled. The epigean species seems to be endemic in the western part of the Carpathian Mountains (Roumania). The taxonomic affinities with Dalmatian cave dwelling species are discussed. Key-words: Araneae - Agelenidae - Taxonomy - Histopona - Carpathian Mountains - Roumania. Einleitung In der monographischen Bearbeitung der Spinnen Ungarns hatten Chyzer & Kulczynski (1897) aus dem südwestlichen Karpatenraum (der gegenwärtig zu Rumänien gehört) drei neue Trichterspinnen nur nach Weibchen beschrieben (Tegenaria sinuata, T laeta und T velox). Von T velox liegen seither keine weiteren Funde vor. Das Männchen der inzwischen zu Histopona gestellten troglophilen H. sinuata wurde erst vor wenigen Jahren entdeckt (Heimer & Weiss 1982). Auch Tegenaria laeta blieb seit der Erstbeschreibung verschollen. Der locus typicus liegt im Banater Bergland (Sasca-Montanä = Szaszkabänya, Muntii Aninei) bzw. bei Herkules-Bad (Bäile Herculane = Herkulesfürdö, Poiana Stäna Pogara). -

The genera Coelotes Blackwall, 1841 and Inermocoelotes Ovtchinnikov, 1999 are transferred from the Amaurobiidae to the Agelenidae. Key words: Coelotes, Inermocoelotes, nomenclature Er zijn dit keer nauwelijks nomenclatorische of taxonomische veranderingen te melden voor ons land, alleen verschuivingen. Eurocoelotes Wang, 2002 is volgens Mikhailov (Mikhailov 2010) een jonger synoniem van Inermocoelotes Ovtchinnikov, 1999. De enige Nederlandse soort uit dit genus is Inermocoelotes inermis (L. Koch, 1855). De genera Coelotes Blackwall, 1841 en Inermocoelotes Ovtchinnikov, 1999 zijn op aanwijzing van Miller et al. (2010) weer overgebracht naar de Agelenidae. Deze genera werden indertijd door Wunderlich (Wunderlich 1986) naar de Amaurobiidae verhuisd omdat zij volgens hem meer verwant waren aan Amaurobius C.L. -
A Summary List of Fossil Spiders
A summary list of fossil spiders compiled by Jason A. Dunlop (Berlin), David Penney (Manchester) & Denise Jekel (Berlin) Suggested citation: Dunlop, J. A., Penney, D. & Jekel, D. 2010. A summary list of fossil spiders. In Platnick, N. I. (ed.) The world spider catalog, version 10.5. American Museum of Natural History, online at http://research.amnh.org/entomology/spiders/catalog/index.html Last udated: 10.12.2009 INTRODUCTION Fossil spiders have not been fully cataloged since Bonnet’s Bibliographia Araneorum and are not included in the current Catalog. Since Bonnet’s time there has been considerable progress in our understanding of the spider fossil record and numerous new taxa have been described. As part of a larger project to catalog the diversity of fossil arachnids and their relatives, our aim here is to offer a summary list of the known fossil spiders in their current systematic position; as a first step towards the eventual goal of combining fossil and Recent data within a single arachnological resource. To integrate our data as smoothly as possible with standards used for living spiders, our list follows the names and sequence of families adopted in the Catalog. For this reason some of the family groupings proposed in Wunderlich’s (2004, 2008) monographs of amber and copal spiders are not reflected here, and we encourage the reader to consult these studies for details and alternative opinions. Extinct families have been inserted in the position which we hope best reflects their probable affinities. Genus and species names were compiled from established lists and cross-referenced against the primary literature. -

ZooKeys 841: 39–59. https:// doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.841.33271 Abstract The scarce and biased knowledge about the diversity and distribution of Araneae species in the Iberian Peninsula is accentuated in poorly known habitats such as the Mesovoid Shallow Substratum (MSS). The aim of this study was to characterize the spiders inventory of the colluvial MSS of the Sierra de Guadar- rama National Park, and to assess the importance of this habitat for the conservation of the taxon. Thirty-three localities were selected across the high peaks of the Guadarrama mountain range and they were sampled for a year using subterranean traps specially designed to capture arthropods in the MSS. -
