    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.

Two new species are described: Agelena chayu sp. nov. and Agelena cuspidata sp. nov. The specific name A. silvatica Oliger, 1983 is revalidated. The female is newly described for A. injuria Fox, 1936. Two specific names are newly synony- mized: Agelena daoxianensis Peng, Gong et Kim, 1996 with A. silvatica Oliger, 1983, and A. sub- limbata Wang, 1991 with A. limbata Thorell, 1897. Some names are proposed for these species to represent some particular genital structures: conductor ventral apophysis, conductor median apo- physis, conductor distal apophysis and conductor dorsal apophysis for male palp and spermathecal head, spermathecal stalk, spermathecal base and spermathecal apophysis for female epigynum. Key words: genital structure, revalidation, synonym, review, taxonomy Introduction The funnel-weaver spider genus Agelena was erected by Walckenaer (1805) with the type species Araneus labyrinthicus Clerck, 1757.

MORo Neurophysiology Laboratory, Department of Zoology, Bangalore University, Bangalore--560056, India Synopsis GEETHABALIand Sulochana D. MoRo (Neurophysiology Laboratory, Depart- ment of Zoology, Bangalore University, Bangalore-560056, India) : The disposition and external morphology of trichobothria in two arachnids. Acta arachnol,, 36: 11-23 (1988). The distribution and external morphology of trichobothria in the whip scorpion, Thelyphonus indicus, and the scorpion, Heterometrus fulvipes, have been studied. While the whip scorpion has its trichobothria remarkably reduced in number to just 10 distributed on the tibiae of the legs, the scorpion has totally 96 trichobothria with 48 on each pedipalp. The sockets as well as hair shafts of the trichobothria on the antenniform legs of the whip scorpion differ widely in their appearance from those on the walking legs. The trichobothria of the scorpion resemble those on the antenniform legs of the whip scorpion, but differ due to the lamellated wall of the cup of the trichobothrium in the scorpion. The directions of mobilities of individual trichobothria in both the arachnids have also been mapped. Introduction The trichobothria of arachnids are very fine hair sensilla remarkably sensi- tive to air currents, articulated within and emerging from independent sockets in the cuticle. They were first discovered on the extremities in Araneae by DAHL (1883) who called them `Horhaare' (hairs of hearing). The sensitivity of trichobothria to air currents was demonstrated in a scorpion,. (HOFFMAN, 1967) and a spider (GORNER & ANDREWS, 1969). Since the number and arrangement of trichobothria remain constant within individuals of a species but vary from species to species, trichobothrial patterns are used in systematics and classification and in the study of development (WEY- 12 GEETHABALIand Sulochana D.

    First Cytogenetic Analysis of Eratigena Agrestris (Araneae: Agelenidae) from Turkey

    Journal of Insect Science, (2019) 19(5): 7; 1–4 doi: 10.1093/jisesa/iez086 Research First Cytogenetic Analysis of Eratigena agrestris (Araneae: Agelenidae) From Turkey Z. Kumbıçak Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Faculty of Art and Science, Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli University, 50300 Nevşehir, Turkey ([email protected]) Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jinsectscience/article/19/5/7/5581989 by guest on 10 June 2021 Subject Editor: Yael Lubin Received 29 May 2019; Editorial decision 7 August 2019 Abstract In this study, chromosomal characteristics of Eratigena agrestris (Agelenidae) were investigated for the first time. Karyotype features including diploid chromosome number, sex chromosome system, chromosome morphology, and meiotic behavior were obtained from specimens collected in two localities of Mediterranean region. A spreading method including dissection, hypotonization, fixation, and staining was used to prepare the chromosome slides. In a total, 10 adult males were used due to having high numbers of dividing cells. Cytogenetical results showed that the diploid chromosome number and sex chromosome system was 2n♂ = 42 (X1X20). The sex chromosomes were identified tentatively. All chromosomes were telocentric. Relative chromosome lengths of autosomal pairs ranged between 5.65 and 3.32%, and relative chromosome lengths of X1 and X2 were 5.33 and 4.19%, respectively. In the first meiotic division stages, bivalents usually had one chiasma, but some had two chiasmata. At the end of the meiosis, two kinds of nuclei, with or without sex chromosomes, have occurred. These results contribute to a better characterization of the Agelenidae cytogenetic. Key words: karyotype, chromosome, meiosis The order Araneae is a diverse group of arachnids that are widely Most spider species have a multiple X chromosome system called distributed all over the world.

Based on the results of the present work, we describe Histopona leonardoi sp. n. and H. fioni sp. n. and revise the distribution pattern of H. italica group in Italy and Switzerland.

Most of the spiders After one year since publication of the Indian Checklist, this is described during the British period from South Asia were by an attempt to provide a comprehensive checklist of spiders of foreigners based on the specimens deposited in different South Asia with eight countries - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The European Museums. Indian checklist is also updated for 2006. The South Asian While the Indian checklist (Siliwal et al., 2005) is more spider list is also compiled following The World Spider Catalog accurate, the South Asian spider checklist is not critically by Platnick and other peer-reviewed publications since the last scrutinized due to lack of complete literature, but it gives an update. In total, 2299 species of spiders in 67 families have overview of species found in various South Asian countries, been reported from South Asia. There are 39 species included in this regions checklist that are not listed in the World Catalog gives the endemism of species and forms a basis for careful of Spiders. Taxonomic verification is recommended for 51 species. and participatory work by arachnologists in the region.
