Zoropsis Spinimana Zoropsis spinimana Zoropsis spinimana est une espèce d'araignées aranéomorphes 1 de la famille des Zoropsidae . Zoropsis spinimana Sommaire Distribution Habitat Description Éthologie Prédation Morsure Reproduction Publication originale Zoropsis spinimana ♀ Liens externes Notes et références Classification selon The World Spider Catalog (http://research.amnh.org/iz/spi ders/catalog/INTRO1.html) Distribution Règne Animalia Cette espèce se rencontre en l'Europe méditerranéenne (jusqu'à Embranchement Arthropoda 1 la Bretagne au Nord), en Afrique du Nord et jusqu'à la Russie . 2 Elle a été introduite aux États-Unis , essentiellement vers la Sous-embr. Chelicerata 3, 4 baie de San Francisco . Classe Arachnida Ordre Araneae Habitat Sous-ordre Araneomorphae Les araignées de l'espèce se trouvent souvent aux abords des forêts sous les pierres ou l'écorce des arbres. Comme cette Famille Zoropsidae araignée ne peut pas survivre sous un climat rude, elle se Genre Zoropsis réfugie fréquemment dans les maisons où la température est 5 Nom binominal plus douce pour elle et la nourriture plus abondante. Zoropsis spinimana Description (Dufour, 1820) Synonymes Les mâles mesurent de 10 à 13 mm et les femelles de 10 à 6 19 mm de long , max 2 cm. Les pattes sont longues et fortes, Dolomedes spinimanus Dufour, 1820 de couleur brun moucheté. Dolomedes dufourii Walckenaer, 1837 Dolomedes ocreatus C. L. Koch, 1841 Les caractères communs de la famille rappellent ceux des Lycosoides algirica Lucas, 1846 Lycosidae, mais l'organisation oculaire permet de les distinguer. Zora algeriensis Simon, 1864 Chez les deux familles, les huit yeux sont répartis sur trois rangs (4-2-2) Hecaerge wrightii Blackwall, 1870 et les yeux Zoropsis albertisii Dahl, 1901 centraux et Zoropsis quedenfeldti Dahl, 1901 latéraux Zoropsis triangularis Dahl, 1901 arrière sont Zoropsis pluridentata Franganillo, 1925 légèrement plus grands que les quatre petits yeux avant. Mais chez Zoropsis, la répartition de ses quatre Zoropsis spinimana de Gênes petits yeux est plus étalée à l'avant du céphalothorax. Zoropsis spinimana de Sète Vue macro du céphalothorax et de la disposition oculaire Le corps est moucheté. L'avant du corps (céphalothorax ou prosoma) a une forme allongée, ovale et plate. L'agencement des poils blancs sur fond marron est caractéristique, et évoque une "tête de Nosferatu". L'abdomen (opisthosoma) Zoropsis spinimana mâle est également allongé, ovale et relativement plat. Il est brun voire orangé et porte des marques médianes noires. Éthologie Prédation Comme toutes les Zoropsidae, Zoropsis spinimana ne construit pas de toile, mais chasse ses proies la nuit ou au crépuscule. Morsure Zoropsis spinimana est très peu agressive, mais elle peut sauter sur la main de son agresseur lorsqu'elle se sent en danger et ses crochets chélicériens sont capables de percer la peau humaine. Son venin n'est cependant pas toxique pour l'homme et sa morsure n'entraîne en principe pas de conséquence autre qu'une douleur temporaire [réf. nécessaire]. Reproduction Les araignées de l'espèce Zoropsis spinimana sont sexuellement matures à l'automne. Les femelles pondent des œufs au printemps dans un cocon entouré de flocons de soie sur lequel elles reposent, parfois jusqu'à l'éclosion des œufs et leur propre mort.

  • A Cladistic Analysis of Zoropsidae (Araneae), with the Description of a New Genus
    Belg. J. Zool., 132 (2): 141-154 July 2002 A cladistic analysis of Zoropsidae (Araneae), with the description of a new genus Jan Bosselaers “Dochterland”, R. novarumlaan 2, B-2340 Beerse, Belgium ABSTRACT. A cladistic analysis of the spider family Zoropsidae has been performed. The ingroup of the analysis consisted of eight species traditionally classified in Zoropsidae, including Zoropsis cyprogenia Bosselaers, 1997, of which the hitherto unknown male has been recently discovered, and Takeoa nishimurai (Yaginuma, 1963). The outgroup contained four species, belonging to the genera Ctenus Walckenaer, 1805, Acanthoctenus Keyserling, 1876 and Griswoldia Dippenaar-Schoeman & Jocqué, 1997. Three different weighting schemes allowed selection of one preferred, most parsimonious tree. This tree implies that Zoropsis cyprogenia has to be placed in a new genus within Zoropsidae. A description of Akamasia n. gen. is given, as well as a redescription of Acanthoctenus gaujoni Simon, 1906. KEY WORDS: Araneae, Zoropsidae, Ctenidae, Zoropsis, Takeoa, Akamasia, Acanthoctenus, cladistics, parsi- mony, weighting.

  • 129 Malta, December 2005
    The Central Mediterranean Naturalist 4(2): 121 - 129 Malta, December 2005 THE CURRENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE SPIDER FAUNA OF THE MALTESE ISLANDS WITH THE ADDITION OF SOME NEW RECORDS (ARACHNIDA: ARANEAE). 1 2 3 David Dandria , Victor Falzon & Jonathan Henwood ABSTRACT The current knowledge of the spider fauna of the Maltese Islands is reviewed. Four species are recorded for the first time, and information is given about the banded argiope, Argiope trifasciata, which is thought to be a recently introduced species. An updated checklist of the spider fauna of the Maltese Islands is also provided. INTRODUCTION The recorded spider fauna of the Maltese Islands hitherto comprises 137 species in 31 Families, including seven endemic species. Only one species belongs to the suborder Orthognatha - the endemic trapdoor spider Nemesia arboricola, first recorded by R.I. Pocock in 1903, and recently re-described by Kritscher (Kritscher, 1994). Another nemesiid (N. macrocephala) was recorded by Baldacchino et al. (1993), but after re-examination of the specimens in the light of Kritscher's 1994 redescription, this was found to be based on misidentification and the material was assigned to N. arboricola (Dandria 2001). The other 136 species belong to the sub-order Labidognatha, and their occurrence was documented by Cantarella (1982), Baldacchino et al. (1993), Bosmans & Dandria (1993) and Kritscher (1996). The largest family is that of the ground spiders, Gnaphosidae, numbering 21 species including the endemic Poecilochroa loricata Kritscher 1996. The jumping spiders, Salticidae, which were the first Maltese spider family to receive serious attention in Cantarella's 1982 study, are represented by 19 species, among which is the sub-endemic Aelurillus schembrii Cantarella 1983, which has so far only been recorded from Malta and Sicily.

    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.

  • Zoropsis Spinimana (DUFOUR), Eine Für Österreich Neue Adventivart (Araneae, Zoropsidae)
    © Naturwiss.-med. Ver. Innsbruck; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Ber. nat.-med. Verein Innsbruck Band 85 S. 173 - 185 Innsbruck, Okt. 1998 Zoropsis spinimana (DUFOUR), eine für Österreich neue Adventivart (Araneae, Zoropsidae) von Konrad THALER & Barbara KNOFLACH ·) Zoropsis spinimana (DUFOUR), a Recent Newcomer to Austria (Araneae, Zoropsidae) Synopsis: In Oct. 1997 a female Z. spinimana was found at the wall of a house in Innsbruck, N. Tyrol. Northermost localities of this mediterranean species were previously known from the southern border of the Alps only. As inadult specimens recently have been observed in S. Tyrol, Z. spinimana may be an expansive species and a recent addition to the urban fauna of Austria. The species is illustrated in both sexes, with notes on biology from the literature. For comparison further mediterranean congeners are briefly characterised, with new records: Z. bilineata DAHL (Mallorca), Z. lutea (THORELL) (S. Greece, Cyprus), Z. oertzeni DAHL (N. Greece, Croatia, Italy; removed from synonymy of Z. bilineata), Z.rufipes (LUCAS) (Tenerife). The pattern of distribution resulting from these records should be completed by further field work. Literature records are thought to be basically ambiguous and in need of revision or corroboration by fresh specimens. 1. Einleitung: Die Arten der Gattung Zoropsis weisen einen gewissen Verbreitungsschwerpunkt im Mittel- meer-Gebiet auf. Manche leben auch in urbaner Umgebung und synanthrop, so Z. spinimana im Stadtgebiet von Venedig (HANSEN 1988,1992). Von dieser Art wurden sogar harmlose Giftbisse gemeldet (HANSEN 1996). Andere neigen zu Verschleppung: Z. rufipes galt als häufigste Art der Bananen-Importe von den Kanarischen Inseln (SCHMIDT 1956a). Das Auftreten einer Zorop- sis -Art im Stadtgebiet von Innsbruck ist trotzdem überraschend und der Mitteilung wert, mag diese auch bereits als "noch zu erwarten" in einen Bericht über adventive Spinnentiere in Öster- reich aufgenommen worden sein (THALER & KNOFLACH 1995).
