The spiders of Lesbos 4 I. Introduction The most recent and complete listing of spiders from Greece is the catalogue of BOSMANS & CHATZAKI (2005). In this catalogue, all distribution data of Greek spiders are presented. This includes a total of 856 spider species of which 213 are currently considered to be endemic to the country. The catalogue includes all data on the distribution of Greek spiders, including the catalogue of BRISTOWE (1935), with 373 species reported, and the regional catalogue of the spiders of Attiki by HADJISSARANTOS (1940), with 316 species presented. Data from Lesbos are very scarce and until now, the arachnofauna of the Eastern Aegean Island Lesbos is very poorly known. Only a few scientists observed spiders on this island and there is only one paper in the literature dealing with the arachnofauna of that part of Greece. In his ‘Ergebnisse einer zoologischen Studien- und Sammlungsreise nach die Inseln des Ägäischen Meeres’, the German WERNER (1934, 1935) reported on the spiders that were caught during his journeys. His papers mention 13 species from Lesbos: Palpimanus gibbulus Dufour, Eresus cinnaberinus Olivier, Steatoda grossa (C. L. Koch), Steatoda paykulliana (Walckenaer), Agalenatea redii (Scopoli), Araneus circe (Audouin), Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli), Larinioides suspicax (O.P.- Cambridge), Geolycosa vultuosa (C. L. Koch), Pardosa atomaria (C. L. Koch), Olios argelasius (Walckenaer), Heriaeus orientalis Simon and Thomisus onustus Walckenaer. All are rather large, common species in the Mediterranean. The other citations from Lesbos are included in a small number of revisions of genera or families. BRIGNOLI (1976) revised the genus Scytodes and reported S. velutina Heineken & Lowe from Lesbos. DEELEMAN- REINHOLD & DEELEMAN (1988) revised the genus Dysdera from the East Mediterranean region and cited Dysdera lata Wider and D. romantica Deeleman-Reinhold from Lesbos. BOSMANS (1997) revised the genus Zodarion of Central Europe and mentioned Zodarion frenatum Simon. Finally there is METZNER’s excellent revision of the jumping spiders of Greece published in 1999, in which 24 Salticids are mentioned: Aelurillus blandus (Simon), Ballus chalybeius (Walckenaer), Chalcoscirtus infimus (Simon), Cyrba algerina (Lucas), Euophrys sulphurea (L. Koch), Evarcha jucunda (Lucas), Habrocestum papilionaceum (L. Koch), Heliophanus auratus C. L. Koch, Heliophanus equester L. Koch, Heliophanus kochii Simon, Heliophanus melinus L. Koch, Heliophanus tribulosus Simon, Hyllus insularis Metzner, Macaroeris nidicolens (Walckenaer), Menemerus semilimbatus (Hahn), Pellenes flavipalpis (Lucas), Philaeus chrysops (Poda), Phlegra fasciata (Hahn), Phlegra lineata (C. L. Koch), Plexippoides gestroi (Dalmas), Pseudicius kulczynskii Nosek, Saitis tauricus Kulczyn’ski, Salticus mutabilis Lucas, Salticus noordami Metzner and Synageles dalmaticus (Keyserling). Recently, LOGUNOV (2006) added Xysticus laetus Thorell, and LOGUNOV & DEMIR (2006) added Xysticus thessalicus Simon and X. thessalicoides Wunderlich; GASPARO (2007) published a small contribution to the cave spiders of Lesbos, mentioning Hoplopholcus figulus Brignoli, Pholcus phalangioides Fuesslin and Tegenaria dalmatica Kulczyn'ski and LOGUNOV & GUSEINOV (2008) cited Philodromus rufus from Lesbos. This results in a total of 43 species that are actually known from the island Lesbos. Dysdera romantica is an endemic species of the Eastern Aegean Islands, and Salticus noordami is the only endemic species of Lesbos.

II. Methods and Material

Study area Lesbos is an island located in the north-eastern Aegean Sea, with an area of 1632 km² and 320 kilometres coastline, making it the third largest Greek island and the largest of the numerous Greek islands scattered in the Aegean. Administratively, it forms part of the Lesbos Prefecture. Its population is approximately 90,000, a third iving in its capital, Mytilini, in the south-eastern part of the island. The remaining population is distributed in small towns and villages. Administratively they are: Aghia Paraskevi, Agiasos, Kalloni, Eresos-Andissa, Evergetoula, Gera, Loutropoli Thermis, Petra, Plomari, Polychnitos, Mandamanos and Molyvos (the ancient Mythymna). The island is mountainous with two large peaks, Oros Lepetymnos (968 m) and Oros Olympus (967 m), dominating its northern and central sections. The island’s volcanic origin is manifested in several hot springs. Eleven million olive trees cover 40% of the island together with other fruit trees. Forests of Mediterranean pines, chestnut trees and some oaks occupy 20%, and the remainder is scrub, grassland or urban area. In the western part of the island is the world’s second largest petrified forest of Sequoia. There are two important bays: the large bay of Kalloni and the smaller bay of Gera. Lesbos has a wide range of habitats, including large salt marshes, lowland phrygana (the Greek name for garrigue, Mediterranean vegetation dominated by spiny under shrubs), montane phrygana, flower-rich grassland, pine forest, chestnut and oak forest, fresh water marsh, rocky stream valleys and gorges. Coastal habitats include sandy beaches, reed beds, rocky cliffs and one small saline area. There are a number of caves on the island but these were not visited during the survey; one cave was investigated by GASPARO (2007).

The spiders of Lesbos 5 Identification

Identification was carried out by the authors, using keys currently used in temperate Europe and particularly on a long list of papers on the spiders of the Mediterranean. The works of CHATZAKI et al. (2002a, 2002b, 2003) and METZNER (1999) were extremely useful.

Survey periods and methods

The periods of survey were from the 4th to the 12th October 2006 (RB and JVK), from the 25th March to the 4th April 2008 (HDK, JB, JPM, JVK, LB, LM, RB) and from the 30th May to the 9th June 2008 (RB with his son). In addition, some data from the Liverpool and Manchester Museum were added, kindly provided by Dmitri Logunov. During the survey the majority of sampling was by hand searching but sweep-netting of grassland and beating of shrubs and the lower branches of trees as well as sifting leaf-litter was also used. Sampling of specific micro- habitats include under stones in rock phrygana and grasslands, on walls, on and under the bark of trees (particularly old olive trees). On a number of occasions, pitfall traps were used to sample ground-active species. These included sample areas in salt marshes (Skala Sykoundas, Mesa Sanctuary), in the Mikri Limni marsh, in pine forests (Megali Limni, Steni Klidi) and in Castanea forest (Agiasos). All specimens were preserved in 70% ethanol for subsequent examination and identification; LB collected his specimens in 95 % ethanol for eventual molecular studies.

The spiders of Lesbos 52 Discussion

Before the excursions of the Belgian Arachnological Society to Lesbos, 43 spider species were known from the island. Actually, at least 294 have been observed on Lesbos annex 1), but not all could be identified to species level yet. Twelve species are most probably new to science and will be described in separate papers. They belong to the following families: Agelenidae (one Tegenaria species), Amaurobiidae (one Amaurobius species), Dysderidae (three Harpactea species and one Stalagtia species), Filistatidae (genus Filistata), Linyphiidae (genera Diplocephalus, Letphyphantes, Palliduphantes and Tapinocyba, each with one species) and Liocranidae (one Agroeca species). One more species has already been described by one of us: Arabelia pheidoleicomes Bosselaers. Two species were erroneously cited from Lesbos: Palpimanus gibbulus (misidentified for P. uncatus) and Heriaues orientalis (misidentified for H. simoni). Fortytwo species are cited here for the first time in Greece. Species belonging to the family Linyphiidae are dominant in this list and appear to be very poorly known. They are: Centromerus albidus Simon, Dactylopisthes digiticeps (Simon), Hypsocephalus dahli (Lessert, 1909), Microctenonyx subitanea (O.P.-Cambridge), Microneta viaria (Blackwall), Neriene clathrata Sundevall, Ostearius melanopygius (O.P.-Cambridge), Palliduphantes khobarum (Charitonov), Pelecopsis elongata (Wider), Pelecopsis krausi Wunderlich, Porrhomma pygmaeum (Blackwall), Silometopus nitidithorax Simon, Tallusia vindobonensis Kulczyn’ski, Walckenaeria abantensis Wunderlich, Walckenaeria monoceros (Wider) and Walckenaeria stylifrons (O.P.- Cambridge). Among them are some very common European spiders, but never collected in Greece yet. Five Theridiidae are new to Greece: Dipoena galilaea Levy, Dipoena melanogaster (C.L. Koch), Paidiscura dromedaria (Simon), Phycosoma inornatum (O.P.-Cambridge) and Simitidion agaricographum (Levy & Amitai), Dipoena galilaea and Simitidion agaricographum are only recently described species. Gnaphosidae also count for four new species: Echemus angustifrons Westring, Haplodrassus minor (O.P.-Cambridge), Haplodrassus morosus Levy and Zelotes atrocaeruleus (Simon); especially Echemus angustifrons is remarkable, because it is very rare in Europe. Thomisidae have four new species: Ozyptila sanctuaria (O.P.- Cambridge), Xysticus caperatus Simon, Xysticus embriki Kolosvary and Xysticus pseudorectolineus WunderlichAnother family with small species are the Dictynidae. Altella lucida (Simon), Archaeodictyna consecuta (O.P.- Cambridge), Lathys arabs Simon and Lathys simplex (Simon) are cited here for the first time in Greece. Two Lycosidae are new to Greece: Pirata tenuitarsis Simon and Trabaea paradoxa Simon. There is one species belonging to the Agelenidae: Agelescape caucasica Guseinov et al.; it was only recently described from the Caucasus. There are some more families with one new species for Greece added: Miturgidae, with Cheiracanthium pennatum Simon; Liocranidae, with Liocranoeca striata (Kulczyn'ski); Oxyopidae, with Peucetia arabica (Simon); Philodromidae, with Philodromus bistigma Simon; Zodariidae, with Zodarion granulatum Kulczyn’ski; Salticidae, with Salticus marenzelleri Nosek. This last family appears to be the best known in Greece, thanks to the work of METZNER (1999).

Compared to other Greek islands, Lesbos is now the richest in species (table 1). Even Crete, which is five times larger, has less species. Of course this is no reality, it gives only proof that Greek spiders are poorly studied.

Table 1. Area of the ten largest Greek islands and the number of spider species on each island (based on data of Bosmans & Chatzaki, 2005 and present data for Lesbos).

Number of Island Area (km²) species Crete 8345 289 Evvoia 3658 84 Lesbos 1630 292 Rhodos 1400 232 Chios 842 28 Kefalonia 780 71 Kerkyra 593 154 Samos 476 34 Limnos 460 12

Salticidae appear to be the richest in species on Lesbos (table 2), what is commonly known in the Mediterranean region. It is unexpected to see Linyphiidae on the second place. This is probably mainly due to an excursion in autumn, when many species of Linyphiidae become adult. Also several more females were found, that could not

The spiders of Lesbos 53 be identified to genus level and these are not included in the list. Theridiidae and Gnaphosidae have respectively 36 and 35 species.
