  • (ARANEA) for the FAUNA of SERBIA the Salticidae, Or Jumping
    Bulletin of the Natural History Museum, 2010, 3: 133-136. Received 1 Jun 2010; Accepted 9 Nov 2010. UDC: 595.44(497.11) Short communication TWO NEW SPECIES OF SALTICIDAE (ARANEA) FOR THE FAUNA OF SERBIA BOBAN STANKOVIĆ City Administration of Jagodina, Department of Environmental Protection, Kralja Petra I, 35000 Jagodina, Serbia, e-mail: [email protected] The Salticidae, or jumping spiders, are the most diverse spider family, with over 5000 species (Platnick 2008), most of which are tropical. This spider’s fauna are insufficiently studied in Serbia. According to Deltshev et al. (2003), only 49 species of jumping spiders have been recorded in Serbia. This is a small number compared to surrounding countries: 91 species are recorded in Bulgaria (Deltshev 2005), 84 in Croatia (Nikolić & Polenec 1981, Katušić 2008), 84 in Romania, 70 in Hungary (Szuts et al. 2003) and 58 in Macedonia (van Helsdingen 2007). In the present paper, two jumping spider species of the family Salticidae are reported as new for the fauna of Serbia. All specimens of the jumping spiders species were collected in the Jagodina region (the central part of Serbia) (UTM EP26; 21°14‘-21°16‘ 43°57‘-44°01; altitude range 118-229m).

  • Nieuwsbrief SPINED 21 ICIUS SUBINERMIS SIMON, 1937 IN
    2 Nieuwsbrief SPINED 21 ICIUS SUBINERMIS SIMON, 1937 IN NEDERLAND WAARGENOMEN (ARANEAE, SALTICIDAE) Peter J. van Helsdingen European Invertebrate Survey – Nederland, Leiden, Nederland ([email protected]) ABSTRACT A single male specimen of Icius subinermis Simon, 1937 was found inside a house in the city of Enschede in the province of Overijssel. The species is known from the western Mediterranean Region and locally from Central France, Switzerland and Germany where it has been found in houses or hothouses. There is no indication of recent import from the Mediterranean Region by the owner of the house in Enschede but nevertheless it is assumed that the species is not (yet) part of our indigenous fauna. Key words: Icius subinermis, imported species, Netherlands, Salticidae Dit jaar (30 maart 2006) werd in Enschede een exemplaar van Icius subinermis Simon, 1937 gevangen en gefotografeerd (fig. 1). Het mannetje werd mij levend toegestuurd, maar eindigde toch in de alcoholcollectie. Het fraaie diertje werd binnenshuis gevonden door Wim Bakker. Volgens zijn zeggen was hij niet kort geleden in het Middellandsezee gebied geweest, dus het was geen herleidbaar geval van import. Toch zal het dier wel op de een of andere manier zijn ingevoerd. Eerdere waarnemingen uit ons land zijn niet bekend. We zullen moeten afwachten of dit een voorbode is van echte vestiging van deze soort in ons land. Icius subinermis is een west-mediterrane soort, die bekend is van Italië (inclusief Sicilië en Sardinië), Frankrijk (inclusief Corsica), Spanje en Portugal. Daarnaast zijn exemplaren gevonden in Zwitserland en Duitsland (Van Helsdingen 2006: Fauna Europaea). De meest noordelijke vindplaatsen in Frankrijk liggen in het Département Maine-et-Loire in het Westen (Simon 1937) en in de buurt van Troyes (Département Aube) in het Oosten (Jäger 1995, 1996).

The family Salticidae (jumping spiders) is the largest family of spiders; it is known throughout the world, and consists of nearly 6,000 described species belonging to 625 genera, holding 13% of all species of spiders (Foelix, 1996; Jackson et al., 2001). Salticids usually show distinct sexual dimorphism in morphology of the adults. As a result, the male-female complementarity remains unclear for many nominal species in this family. This means that more than a few synonymies are likely hidden in the current classification of the family. Furthermore, due to insufficient sampling efforts in tropical and subtropical zones, it is likely that many species are yet to be discovered. The genus Phintella Strand in Bösenberg and Strand (1906) is one of the most speciose genera in the family Salticidae, and is thought to have diversified in the Oriental and Palearctic regions.

Ključne besede: pajki skakači, Salticidae, Slovenija Introduction With more than 5000 species (Platnick 2005), the jumping spiders (family Salticidae) represent the most diverse spider family in the World. Although most of the jumping spiders are tropical and only about 100 species are recorded in central Europe, the family is still among the numerous in Europe (Blick et al. 2004). ___________________________________________________________________________ * In October 2003 Luděk Jindřich Dobroruka from Prague kindly offered us his unpublished data on jumping spiders collected in Slovenia, including the previously unrecorded Phlegra cinereofasciata Simon, 1868. The correspondence was leading towards a joint publication on Slovenian jumping spiders, but was broken with a sudden death of our Czech colleague in July 2004.

Past records were compiled and four new surveys of spiders in Ulleungdo Island were conducted from May to September 2019. The surveys were conducted at 18 sites in seven of the nine major administrative districts. A total of 114 species from 84 genera in 26 families were identified from 958 individual spiders. The 21 spider species belonging to 10 families were added to the known spider fauna on Ulleungdo Island from the present study. The survey results were combined present results with previous records showed there were 242 species from 143 genera in 32 families on Ulleungdo Island. The species richness in each family was high, in the order Araneidae, Theridiidae, Salticidae, Linyphiidae, Tetragnathidae, Thomisidae, Gnaphodidae and Philodromidae. Four Korean endemic species, Coscinida ulleungensis Paik, 1995, Steatoda ulleungensis Paik, 1995, Drassodes taehadongensis Paik, 1995 and Phrurolithus pennatoides Seo, 2018, found only on Ulleungdo Island. In addition, the following six indigenous species that inhabit only in Ulleungdo Island: Euryopis octomaculata (Paik, 1995), Porrhomma montanum Jackson, 1913, Piratula knorri (Scopoli, 1763), Cladothela parva Kamura, 1991, Cladothela unciinsignita (Bösenberg and Strand, 1906) and Clubiona tongdaoensis Zhang, Yin, Bao and Kim, 1997.

  • Heliophanus Pygmaeus WESO£OWSKA Et RUSSELL-SMITH, 2000, a Small Beetle-Like Salticid from Africa (Araneae: Salticidae)
    Genus Vol. 15(2): 275-280 Wroc³aw, 30 VI 2004 A redescription of Heliophanus pygmaeus WESO£OWSKA et RUSSELL-SMITH, 2000, a small beetle-like salticid from Africa (Araneae: Salticidae) WANDA WESO£OWSKA Zoological Institute, Wroc³aw University, Sienkiewicza 21, 50-335 Wroc³aw, Poland, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Redescription of Heliophanus pygmaeus WESO£OWSKA et RUSSELL- SMITH, 2000 is provided. Female of the species was hitherto incorrectly described as the female of Xuriella prima WESO£OWSKA et RUSSELL-SMITH, 2000. New distributional data are presented. Key words: arachnology, Araneae, Salticidae, Heliophanus, Xuriella, redescription, Afrotropical Region, beetle mimicry. Heliophanus pygmaeus is a diminutive, beetle-like jumping spider, adult specimens reach only 2 mm. This epigeic salticid was collected in pitfall traps from woodland or grassland with bushes (WESO£OWSKA & RUSSELL-SMITH 2000) or found in litter (see below). The species was described from the Mkomazi Game Reserve in Tanzania on the basis of the males. The females, caught separately, were incorrectly connected to the male of another beetle-like species, Xuriella prima WESO£OWSKA et RUSSELL- SMITH, 2000. The latter species belongs to the subfamily Dendryphantinae; its eyes of the second row are close to the anterior row. In the female of H. pygmaeus the second eye row is placed further away (in the mid of eye field). This feature had been overlooked though, and the overall external similarity resulted in the decision of describing this spider as X. prima. New material from Western Africa, where spiders of both sexes were col- lected together, allowed to decide unequivocally on their conspecificity.
