  • 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.

The specimens were collected by pitfall trapping over 13 months from May 1994 in different wetland environments, each characterised by a specific plant community. Among the spe- cies identified Poecilochroa furcata and Poecilochroa senilis are first records of the species in Italy, while Leptodrassus albidus, Haplodrassus macellinus hebes and Zelotes reconditus are first records for Sicily. Differences in both diversity and abundance of species and specimens are recorded for the environments investigated. Most species have a Mediterranean distribution. Key words: Araneae, Gnaphosidae, faunistics, nature reserve ‘Oasis of Simeto’, Sicily, Italy INTRODUCTION spider fauna were reported by Di Franco & The ‘Oasis of Simeto’ is a nature reserve located Lovetere (2000).

  • Parson Spiders
    Colorado Arthropod of Interest Parson Spiders Scientific Name: Herpyllus species Order: Araneae (Spiders) Family: Gnaphosidae (Ground Spiders) Identification and Descriptive Features: The parson spiders are moderately large spiders (female 6.5-13mm; male 4.5-6.5mm) with overall black color. A broken white or silvery stripe prominently marks the back of the abdomen. (This marking is reminiscent of the old style neck band cravat formerly worn by parsons and others of the ministry.) A wide shiny band of reflective silvery hairs occurs on the cephalothorax. The legs that are brown, banded with black and relatively long; parson spiders are fast runners. Distribution in Colorado: Four species are known from Colorado: Herpyllus bubulcus, H. ecclesiasticus (eastern parson spider), H. Figures 1, 2. Top and side views of two hesperolus, and H. propinquus (western parson different spieces of parson spider (Herpyllus spider). At least one Herpyllus species can likely spp.).

Life History and Habits: Parson spiders can be common invaders of buildings in late summer and early fall. Indoors they may be found crawling on walls and they can move quickly, often running in a zig-zag pattern. They do not breed indoors. The parson spiders are active at night and in twilight hours. During the day they seek cover provided by loose bark, boards or other sheltering sites and often form a silken retreat within which they rest. Life history is poorly known. Eggs of at least some species are produced in late summer and early fall.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Corresponding author Abstract Spider community inventories have relatively well-established standardized collecting protocols. Such protocols set rules for the orderly acquisition of samples to estimate community parameters and to establish comparisons between areas. These methods have been tested worldwide, providing useful data for inventory planning and optimal sampling allocation efforts. The taxonomic counterpart of biodiversity inventories has received considerably less attention. Species lists and their relative abundances are the only link between the community parameters resulting from a biotic inventory and the biology of the species that live there. However, this connection is lost or speculative at best for species only partially identified (e. g., to genus but not to species). This link is particularly important for diverse tropical regions were many taxa are undescribed or little known such as spiders. One approach to this problem has been the development of biodiversity inventory websites that document the morphology of the species with digital images organized as standard views.

  • 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.

  • Araneae) Parasite–Host Association
    2006. The Journal of Arachnology 34:273–278 SHORT COMMUNICATION FIRST UNEQUIVOCAL MERMITHID–LINYPHIID (ARANEAE) PARASITE–HOST ASSOCIATION David Penney: Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, The University of Manchester, Manchester, M13 9PL, UK. E-mail: [email protected] Susan P. Bennett: Biological Sciences, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, M1 5GD, UK. ABSTRACT. The first description of a Mermithidae–Linyphiidae parasite–host association is presented. The nematode is preserved exiting the abdomen of the host, which is a juvenile Tenuiphantes species (Araneae, Linyphiidae), collected from the Isle of Mull, UK. An updated taxonomic list of known mer- mithid spider hosts is provided. The ecology of known spider hosts with regard to the direct and indirect life cycles of mermithid worms suggests that both occur in spiders. Keywords: Aranimermis, Isle of Mull, Linyphiidae, Mermithidae, Nematoda Nematode parasites of spiders are restricted to an updated and taxonomically correct list in Table the family Mermithidae but are not uncommon 1.
