Acta Arachnologica 70表紙3mm Acta Arachnologica, 70 (1): 29–32, June 28, 2021 A new species of the genus Otacilia (Araneae: Phrurolithidae) from Shikoku and Awaji-shima Is., Japan Takahide Kamura 1–1–527, Chiyoda-cho, Takatsuki-shi, Osaka 569–0087 Japan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract ― A new species is described from Shikoku and Awaji-shima Is., Japan under the name of Otacilia meles. This species is similar to O. stella Kamura 2005, but is distinguished from the latter by the male palpal bulb lacking an apophysis on the prolateral side and the longer spermathecae in the female genitalia.

Introduction The sac spider family Phrurolithidae Banks 1892, elevated to family status by Ramírez (2014), currently consists of 207 species, 14 genera worldwide (World Spider Catalog 2016), and about 65 species in four genera have been found in China (Li & Wang 2015). They are hunting spiders living on the ground, and are usually found in leaf litter, woody debris or on the forest floor. The genus Phrurolithus was established by C. L. Koch (1839) based on two Palaearctic species, P. festivus (C.L. Koch, 1835) and P. minimus C.L. Koch, 1839. Phrurolithus, the most species-rich genus of Phrurolithidae (World Spider Catalog 2016), is recorded from Europe, Asia and North America (Holarctic).

    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Number 3930, 24 pp. June 26, 2019 Myrmecicultoridae, a New Family of Myrmecophilic Spiders from the Chihuahuan Desert (Araneae: Entelegynae) MARTÍN J. RAMÍREZ,1 CRISTIAN J. GRISMADO,1 DARRELL UBICK,2 VLADIMIR OVTSHARENKO,3 PAULA E. CUSHING,4 NORMAN I. PLATNICK,5 WARD C. WHEELER,5 LORENZO PRENDINI,5 LOUISE M. CROWLEY,5 AND NORMAN V. HORNER6 ABSTRACT The new genus and species Myrmecicultor chihuahuensis Ramírez, Grismado, and Ubick is described and proposed as the type of the new family, Myrmecicultoridae Ramírez, Grismado, and Ubick. The species is ecribellate, with entelegyne genitalia, two tarsal claws, without claw tufts, and the males have a retrolateral palpal tibial apophysis. Some morphological characters suggest a pos- sible relationship with Zodariidae or Prodidomidae, but the phylogenetic analysis of six markers from the mitochondrial (12S rDNA, 16S rDNA, cytochrome oxidase subunit I) and nuclear (histone H3, 18S rDNA, 28S rDNA) genomes indicate that M. chihuahuensis is a separate lineage emerging near the base of the Dionycha and the Oval Calamistrum clade. The same result is obtained when the molecular data are combined with a dataset of morphological characters. Specimens of M. chi- huahuensis were found associated with three species of harvester ants, Pogonomyrmex rugosus, Novomessor albisetosis, and Novomessor cockerelli, and were collected in pitfall traps when the ants are most active. The known distribution spans the Big Bend region of Texas (Presidio, Brewster, and Hudspeth counties), to Coahuila (Cuatro Ciénegas) and Aguascalientes (Tepezalá), Mexico. 1 Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales “Bernardino Rivadavia” – CONICET, Buenos Aires. 2 California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco.

  • Species of the Genus Otacilia from Hainan Island, China (Araneae: Phrurolithidae)
    Zoological Systematics, 40(4): 436–450 (October 2015), DOI: 10.11865/zs.20150402 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Species of the genus Otacilia from Hainan Island, China (Araneae: Phrurolithidae) Li-Na Fu, Jing-Chao He, Feng Zhang* The Key Laboratory of Invertebrate Systematics and Application, College of Life Sciences, Hebei University, Baoding, Hebei 071002, China *Corresponding author, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Five spider species of the genus Otacilia Thorell, 1897 from Hainan Island are reported, including two species described as new to science, O. biarclata sp. nov. and O. florifera sp. nov. and three species reported, O. bawangling Fu, Zhang & Zhu, 2010, O. jianfengling Fu, Zhang & Zhu, 2010, and O. limushan Fu, Zhang & Zhu, 2010. The male of O. limushan is reported here for the first time. Morphological illustrations and descriptions of new species and O. limushan are presented, and photos of all species are provided. Key words spider, taxonomy, Otacilia, China. 1 Introduction Hainan Island, the southernmost province of China, located in the South China Sea, varies from 18°10′N to 20°10′N and 108°37′E to 111°03′E, and separated from Guangdong’s Leizhou Peninsula to the north by Qiongzhou Strait. It has the excellent natural conditions, which is the home to many rare animals and plants (Fu, Zhang & Zhu, 2010). The present paper deals with the spider species of the genus Otacilia from Hainan. Otacilia Thorell, 1897, a paraphyletic taxon of Phrurolithidae (Jäger & Wunderlich, 2012), includes 22 species in China (42 spp. worldwide) (World Spider Catalog, 2015), and wide distributed from East to Southeast Asia.

Key words: spider, taxonomy, China. INTRODUCTION Phrurolithidae Banks 1892, raised to family status by Ramírez (2014) in agreement with Deeleman-Reinhold (2001), currently consists of 14 genera and 188 species (World Spider Catalog 2015). The Phrurolithidae are hunt- ing spiders living in leaf litter, especially bamboo leaves, woody debris or on the forest floor. Otacilia Thorell, 1897, one of the most species-rich genera of the sac spider family Phrurolithidae (World Spider Catalog 2015), is widely dis- tributed in Southeast Asia and East Asia. Presently, 39 Otacilia species have been reported in the world. This genus can be recognized by the following characteristics: a relatively broad opisthosomal scutum (less than half of the opisthosoma) in most males; one or two strong anterior bristles on chelicerae; several prolateral spines (most often four) on femur I; six to ten retroventral or proventral spines on tibia I; a femoral ventral apophysis with a depression retrolaterally on male palp; one or two RTA with different sizes; weakly scle- rotized bulb and relatively short embolus; epigyne generally with a median plate and vulva with pairs of transparent bursae and spermathecae (Jäger & Wunderlich 2012).

Key words: spider, taxonomy, China Introduction Phrurolithidae Banks, 1892 was elevated to family status and delimited by Ramírez (2014), and now includes 14 genera and 182 species worldwide (Platnick 2014). Of these, four genera and 40 species are recorded from China (Li & Wang 2014). The Phrurolithidae are hunting spiders living on the ground, and are usually found in leaf litter, woody debris or on the forest floor. The genus Otacilia was established by Thorell in 1897 based on a single female specimen from Burma (today: Myanmar), Otacilia armatissima (Thorell, 1897). Till now, 32 Otacilia species have been reported in the world, mainly from Southeast Asia (Platnick 2014). Among them, 15 species are reported from China, including five species that were transferred from Phrurolithus C.L. Koch, 1839 (Hu & Zhang 2011). Apart from these species, Zhang et al.

  • The Guardstone Spiders of the Phrurotimpus Palustris Group (Araneae, Phrurolithidae)
    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Number 3944, 29 pp. December 9, 2019 The Guardstone Spiders of the Phrurotimpus palustris Group (Araneae, Phrurolithidae) NORMAN I. PLATNICK1 ABSTRACT The type species of Phrurotimpus, Herpyllus alarius Hentz, was based on a female from Alabama; because Hentz’s type specimens were destroyed long ago, the identity of this species has been controversial for over a century. Examination of Hentz’s original color paintings of his specimen indicates that earlier authors, such as Bishop and Crosby, and Chamberlin and Ivie, were correct in arguing that Emerton erred in assigning the name to a species common in the northeastern United States. Unfortunately, Kaston (who had access only to the published, black- and-white illustrations) subsequently sided with Emerton, and that misidentification has been followed in all more recent literature. Phrurotimpus palustris (Banks) and P. annulatus Cham- berlin and Ivie are removed from the synonymy of P. al ar iu s and considered valid. P. palustris refers to the common northeastern species, whereas P. annulatus refers to a sibling species apparently restricted to the southeastern United States; Hentz’s P. al ar iu s is a member of a dif- ferent species group entirely. Four other species are assigned to the palustris group, which is known only from the eastern United States and Canada: P. umbratilis (Bishop and Crosby), P. wallacei (Gertsch, here transferred from Phrurolithus), and two new species: P. sorkini from Georgia and Florida and P. bernikerae from Florida. INTRODUCTION Phrurolithid spiders have been recognized as a group since Simon (1897: 146) established the Micariosomateae, based on a generic name now placed as a junior synonym of Phrurolithus C.

It is represented by a new species, C. wesolowskae sp. nov. (♂♀), which is close to the generotype, C. calcarata (Emerton, 1911). Additionally, a new species, Phrurolithus lindemanni sp. nov. (♀), is described from the Maritime Province as well. It has unusually light colouration in comparison to other congeners. Trans- Pacific disjunctive ranges on species, genus and family levels in arthropods are briefly discussed.
