3 PREFACE This Brochure Is a Second One in a Series of Annual Additions to the Catalogue of the Spiders of the Territories of Th PREFACE This brochure is a second one in a series of annual additions to the Catalogue of the spiders of the territories of the former Soviet Union. The basic structure of the main catalogue has not been changed in the present addition (for details, see the Methodology chapter). The checklist includes only species with revised distribution data (giv- en bold). Other novations, like generic affiliation of certain species (especially in the former Lepthyphantes), new synonymy, are to be checked completely in the revised edition of the main catalogue. I am deeply obliged to my colleagues Drs. Yu.M. Marusik (Ma- gadan), A.V. Tanasevitch (Moscow), D.V. Logunov (Novosibirsk), S.L. Esyunin (Perm), Mr. E.M. Zhukovets (Minsk), Mr. A.V. Gromov (Alma-Ata), and to numerous other persons for supplying me with all necessary publications. Several reviews of my catalogue printed during the last year were also taken into consideration. 3 METHODOLOGY Each spider species included in the checklist is supplied with an attribution both to main physiographical areas and to post-Soviet republics. The physiographical areas and republics are coded by Rus- sian letters and abbreviations, respectively. The sequence of referenc- es is as follows: Physiographical areas (see also Map 1). À Atlantic-Arctic insular area, Á Fennoscandia (Karelian-Kola area), Â Russian Plain, Ã1 Novaya Zemlya and Vaigach islands, Ã2 Urals, Ä Carpathians, Å1 Crimea, Å2 Caucasus, Æ1 Armenian Upland, Æ2 Kopetdagh Mts, Ç+È mountainous Middle Asia, Ê deserts of Middle Asia, Ë Kazakhstan hills, Ì West Siberia, Í+Î Middle Siberia, Ï mountains of South Siberia, Ð northeastern Siberia, Ñ1 continental Far North-East (without Kamchatka), Ñ2 Kamchatka, Ñ3 northern Kurile Islands, Ñ4 Commander Islands, Ò1 continental Southern Far East (Amur-Maritime area), Ò2 Sakhalin and Moneron islands, Ò3 southern Kurile Islands. Republics: ÐÔ Russia, Ýñò Estonia, Ëàòâ Latvia, Ëèò Lithuania, Áåë Byelorussia (Belarus), Óêð Ukraine, Ìîëä Moldavia (Moldova), 4 Ñ1 Ã1 Ð Ñ4 Á Ñ2 Â Ñ1 Ä Ì Ñ3 Â Ò2 Ã2 Í+Î Ò1 Å1 Ï Ò3 Â Ï Å2 Ë Æ1 Ê Ç+È Æ2 Ç+È Map 1. Physiographical areas of the ex-USSR territory (after Ãâîçäåöêèé, 1968, with some changes). Explana- 5 tions in text. Ãð Georgia, Àç Azerbaijan, Àðì Armenia, Êàç Kazakhstan, Óçá Uzbekistan, Òóðê Turkmenia (Turkmenistan), Êèðã Kirghizia (Kyrgyzstan), Òàäæ Tajikistan. Families are arranged according to Platnicks catalogue. Synonyms are marked with a = sign, only names cited in the Russian/Soviet arachnological literature are reported. Some old com- binations not accepted here are also incorporated without =. Valid subspecies are mentioned with a + sign. Nomina dubia are given in the main list, whereas nomina nuda are removed to the end of each family list. For nomina dubia, all available sources are reported. Doubtful identifications are marked with a ?, misidentifications with a ?? symbol. Species/generic names recorded in the former USSR territory with doubts or definitely erroneously are cited in figure brackets ({}) and in parentheses (), respectively. New data entered hereinafter are given bold. According to ICZN [1985], Article 33d, original species endings cannot be changed from -ii to -i. So, in theory a lot of traditionally accepted names of European spiders are to be changed: Maso sunde- vallii instead of M. sundevalli, Pachygnatha degeerii instead of P. degeeri, etc. I am not prepared yet to applying this rule directly, so I have simply marked all such cases in the text of the current checklist by one asterisk (*). Please note that the spelling of some Russian names has tradi- tionally been non-English, mostly German or Latin: Bachwalow instead of Bakhvalov, Charitonov instead of Kharitonov, Mcheidze instead of Mkheidze, Michailov instead of Mikhailov, Ponomarjov instead of Ponomarev (or Ponomaryov), Saveljeva instead of Save- lyeva (or Savelieva), Tystshenko instead of Tyshchenko, Utotschkin instead of Utochkin, Wagner instead of Vagner, Zawadsky instead of Zavadskiy. Yet in the bibliographical index all such names are anglified as opposed to their latinized (germanized) names used after their taxa in the main list. In the bibliographical index, all Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian, etc. paper and book names are translated into English, in square brackets ([]). Authors name is transliterated into English, also in 6 square brackets. An English, German, etc. name of Russian authors is given also in Russian. The journal, collective paper or newspaper names are given in the original language, mostly Russian, and can be easily transliterated, mainly according to the Science Citation Index. Cyrillic letters should be written as follows: à a; á b; â v; ã g, gh; ä d; å e; ¸ yo, e; æ zh; ç z; è i; é i,y; èé iy; ê k; ë l; ì m; í n; î o; ï p; ð r; ñ s; ò t; ó u; ô f; õ kh; ö ts; ÷ ch; ø sh; ù shch; ú to omit; û y; ü to omit; ý e; þ yu; ÿ ya. In the administrative divisions, the Russian oblast stands for Area, krai for Province, and rayon for District. Russian references to a certain year are given before the English ones of the same year, for example: Ìèõàéëîâ, 1995à, 1995á, Mikhailov, 1995a, 1995b, etc. Consecutive references to papers of one and the same Russian author with different foreign co-authors are given according to the Russian, not English, alphabet: [Ëîãóíîâ, Âåñîëîâñêà] Logunov, Weso³owska is cited before [Ëîãóíîâ, Êàòëåð] Logunov, Cutler. In some cases, necessary remarks to papers and books are given in parentheses () beginning a new paragraph. 7 ADDITION TO THE CHECKLIST OF THE SPIDERS OF RUSSIA AND OTHER TERRITORIES OF THE FORMER USSR Atypidae Atypus medius Oliger, 1999 Ï.

Biodiversity Data Journal 5: e21010. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.5.e21010 Abstract Background During a field course on spider taxonomy and ecology at the University of Helsinki, the authors had the opportunity to sample four plots with a dual objective of both teaching on field methods, spider identification and behaviour and uncovering the spider diversity patterns found in the southern coastal forests of Hankoniemi, Finland. As an ultimate goal, this field course intended to contribute to a global project that intends to uncover spider diversity patterns worldwide. With that purpose, a set of standardised methods and procedures was followed that allow the comparability of obtained data with numerous other projects being conducted across all continents. New information A total of 104 species and 1997 adults was collected.

  • 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).

Both of his parents, Gleb K. Mikhailov (1929–2021) and Galina R. Mikhailova (1926–2019), were research scientists. Kirill’s father was an expert in the history of mechanics, and mother, a biologist. Since early childhood Kirill was raised mainly by his maternal grandparents, Ro- man P. Nosov and Antonina V. Nosova. Kirill’s grandfather, a CPSU official and a career administrator at the Ministry of Energetics, retired from his post in 1965 to take care of the grandson. Kirill’s grandmother, an obstetrician by profession, received disability at a military plant during the WWII in evacuation, and was a housewife after the war. In 1978, Kirill began his studies at the Division of Biology (Biologicheskii Fakul’tet) of the Moscow State University (below, MSU). Even earlier, as a schoolboy, Kirill used to buy books on zoology, especially separate issues of the Fauna of the USSR and Keys to the Fauna of the USSR, then relatively cheap and available.

  • Distribution of Spiders in Coastal Grey Dunes
    kaft_def 7/8/04 11:22 AM Pagina 1 SPATIAL PATTERNS AND EVOLUTIONARY D ISTRIBUTION OF SPIDERS IN COASTAL GREY DUNES Distribution of spiders in coastal grey dunes SPATIAL PATTERNS AND EVOLUTIONARY- ECOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE OF DISPERSAL - ECOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE OF DISPERSAL Dries Bonte Dispersal is crucial in structuring species distribution, population structure and species ranges at large geographical scales or within local patchily distributed populations. The knowledge of dispersal evolution, motivation, its effect on metapopulation dynamics and species distribution at multiple scales is poorly understood and many questions remain unsolved or require empirical verification. In this thesis we contribute to the knowledge of dispersal, by studying both ecological and evolutionary aspects of spider dispersal in fragmented grey dunes. Studies were performed at the individual, population and assemblage level and indicate that behavioural traits narrowly linked to dispersal, con- siderably show [adaptive] variation in function of habitat quality and geometry. Dispersal also determines spider distribution patterns and metapopulation dynamics. Consequently, our results stress the need to integrate knowledge on behavioural ecology within the study of ecological landscapes. / Promotor: Prof. Dr. Eckhart Kuijken [Ghent University & Institute of Nature Dries Bonte Conservation] Co-promotor: Prf.

    Behavioral Ecology Symposium ’96: Cushing 165 MYRMECOMORPHY AND MYRMECOPHILY IN SPIDERS: A REVIEW PAULA E. CUSHING The College of Wooster Biology Department 931 College Street Wooster, Ohio 44691 ABSTRACT Myrmecomorphs are arthropods that have evolved a morphological resemblance to ants. Myrmecophiles are arthropods that live in or near ant nests and are considered true symbionts. The literature and natural history information about spider myrme- comorphs and myrmecophiles are reviewed. Myrmecomorphy in spiders is generally considered a type of Batesian mimicry in which spiders are gaining protection from predators through their resemblance to aggressive or unpalatable ants. Selection pressure from spider predators and eggsac parasites may trigger greater integration into ant colonies among myrmecophilic spiders. Key Words: Araneae, symbiont, ant-mimicry, ant-associates RESUMEN Los mirmecomorfos son artrópodos que han evolucionado desarrollando una seme- janza morfológica a las hormigas. Los Myrmecófilos son artrópodos que viven dentro o cerca de nidos de hormigas y se consideran verdaderos simbiontes. Ha sido evaluado la literatura e información de historia natural acerca de las arañas mirmecomorfas y mirmecófilas . El myrmecomorfismo en las arañas es generalmente considerado un tipo de mimetismo Batesiano en el cual las arañas están protegiéndose de sus depre- dadores a través de su semejanza con hormigas agresivas o no apetecibles. La presión de selección de los depredadores de arañas y de parásitos de su saco ovopositor pueden inducir una mayor integración de las arañas mirmecófílas hacia las colonias de hor- migas. Myrmecomorphs and myrmecophiles are arthropods that have evolved some level of association with ants. Myrmecomorphs were originally referred to as myrmecoids by Donisthorpe (1927) and are defined as arthropods that mimic ants morphologically and/or behaviorally.

ZooKeys 474: 1–91. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.474.8474 Abstract The research of the spider fauna of Slovenia dates back to the very beginning of binomial nomenclature, and has gone through more and less prolific phases with authors concentrating on taxonomy, faunistics, ecology and zoogeographic reviews. Although the body of published works is remarkable for a small na- tion, the faunistic data has remained too scattered for a thorough understanding of regional biotic diver- sity, for comparative and ecological research, and for informed conservation purposes. A national checklist is long overdue. Here, a critical review of all published records in any language is provided. The species list currently comprises 738 species, is published online at http://www.bioportal.si/katalog/araneae.php un- der the title Araneae Sloveniae, and will be updated in due course.

  • Araneae: Sparassidae)
    EUROPEAN ARACHNOLOGY 2003 (LOGUNOV D.V. & PENNEY D. eds.), pp. 107125. © ARTHROPODA SELECTA (Special Issue No.1, 2004). ISSN 0136-006X (Proceedings of the 21st European Colloquium of Arachnology, St.-Petersburg, 49 August 2003) A study of the character palpal claw in the spider subfamily Heteropodinae (Araneae: Sparassidae) Èçó÷åíèå ïðèçíàêà êîãîòü ïàëüïû ó ïàóêîâ ïîäñåìåéñòâà Heteropodinae (Araneae: Sparassidae) P. J ÄGER Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, Senckenberganlage 25, D60325 Frankfurt am Main, Germany. email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The palpal claw is evaluated as a taxonomic character for 42 species of the spider family Sparassidae and investigated in 48 other spider families for comparative purposes. A pectinate claw appears to be synapomorphic for all Araneae. Elongated teeth and the egg-sac carrying behaviour of the Heteropodinae seem to represent a synapomorphy for this subfamily, thus results of former systematic analyses are supported. One of the Heteropodinae genera, Sinopoda, displays variable character states. According to ontogenetic patterns, shorter palpal claw teeth and the absence of egg-sac carrying behaviour may be secondarily reduced within this genus. Based on the idea of evolutionary efficiency, a functional correlation between the morphological character (elongated palpal claw teeth) and egg-sac carrying behaviour is hypothesized. The palpal claw with its sub-characters is considered to be of high analytical systematic significance, but may also give important hints for taxonomy and phylogenetics. Results from a zoogeographical approach suggest that the sister-groups of Heteropodinae lineages are to be found in Madagascar and east Africa and that Heteropodinae, as defined in the present sense, represents a polyphyletic group.
