Il morso di questo ragno ha provocato, a livello locale, acuto e persistente dolore ed edema della parte colpita, seguiti da parestesia della mano sinistra durata alcune ore. La sintomatologia consequenziale, sia locale che sistemica, si è risolta all’incirca in una settimana. SUMMARY A case of arachnidism produced in a woman by Segestria florentina has been reported from Leverano, a town near Lecce, Salento, South Italy. At a local level, the bite provoked a keen and persistent pain and oedema of the part affected, followed by paresy of the left hand lasting some hours. The consequent symptomatology, both local and systemic, disappeared in about a week. INTRODUCTION In nature all spiders are hunters and use many different and sophisticated strategies, the most effective of them being the production and injection of poison through their chelicerae, used to immobilize and kill their prey. Man is only occasionally bitten, with a derived fear and confusion also among those who must to treat the situation. In Italy a large majority of autochthonous spiders are inoffensive, and usually only a small number of them bite man causing, through its poison, a series of local, rarely systemic, symptoms. -

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. -

Determining with SEM, Structure of the Venom Apparatus in the Tube Web
Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies 2013;1 (4): 61-65 Determining with SEM, structure of the venom ISSN 2320-7078 apparatus in the tube web spider, Segestria JEZS 2013;1 (4): 61-65 © 2013 AkiNik Publications florentina (Araneae: Segestriidae) Received 22-07-2013 Accepted: 04-08-2013 Mehlika Benli*, Nazife Yigit, Mehmet Karakas and Suna Cebesoy ABSTRACT The objective of the present study was to describe functional morphological features of venom apparatus in the tube web spider, Segestria florentina (Rossi, 1790) (Araneae: Segestriidae) by using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The venom apparatus is situated in the anterior part of the prosoma, and is composed of a pair of venom glands and chelicerae. The chelicera of S. florentina has two parts: basal segment and a movable articulated apical segment (fang). The cheliceral fang rests in a groove on the basal segment of chelicerae. A venom hole is located on the subterminal part of each fang. A pair of venom glands is completely separate but similar to each other within the prosoma. Each venom gland is surrounded by striated muscle bundles, such as with the capsules. The venom, produced in the venom glands, is carried by venom ducts passing throughout the chelicerae. Each venom gland has its own venom duct, chelicera and fang. The venom is excreted from the Mehlika Benli venom pore on the subterminal part of the fang by means of muscular contractions covering the Ankara University, Faculty of venom gland.

Venomous Spiders of Turkey (Araneae)
Journal of Applied Biological Sciences 1 (3): 33-36, 2007 Venomous Spiders of Turkey (Araneae) Abdullah BAYRAM1* Nazife YİĞİT1 Tarık DANIŞMAN1 İlkay ÇORAK1 Zafer SANCAK1 Derya ULAŞOĞLU2 1 Department of Biology, Faculty of Science and Arts, University of Kırıkkale, 71450 Kırıkkale, TURKEY 2 Vera Pest Control, Ulus, İstanbul, TURKEY * Corresponding Author Received: 26 May 2006 e-mail: [email protected] Accepted: 25 October 2006 Abstract Over 50.000 species have been described on the world. Among them about 100 species are dangerous for human. Members of Latrodectus and Loxosceles share the habitats of human beings. Chemically, spider venom is heterogeneous, and contains poly peptide, poly amine, nucleic acid, free amino acid, monoamine, neurotoxin, enzyme and inorganic elements. In enzymes, proteases, hyaluronidase, sphingo-myelinase, phospholipase and isomerase form necrosis. Venom is neurotoxic, and it causes paralysis. In Turkey, some species of Latrodectus, Steatoda, Loxosceles, Cheiracanthium, Segestria, Agelena, Tegenaria, Araneus and Argiope are venomous. The specimens that collected from different habitats and localities of Turkey were examined under stereo microscope. They were identified as species level, and the venom organs of some spiders were investigated morphologically with the light and electron microscope. Key words: Spider, Venom, Turkey, Araneae. INTRODUCTION The aim of this article is to explain the venomous spiders, and inform their habitats and distributions in Turkey. About 50.000 species have been described on the world. All of the spiders have venom glands except the members of MATERIAL AND METHODS Uloboridae and Archaeidae. Preys of spiders are insects, other arthropods and invertebrates, and from vertebrates small fishes, The specimens were collected from different habitats frogs, lizards, birds and even mammalians such as mice. -

Gallon* & Gareth Farrº Last year SEWBReC, the Local Environmental Record Centre covering southeast Wales organised a BioBlitz to Flat Holm Island in the Bristol Channel. Flat Holm is a small (0.23 km²), roughly circular, Carboniferous Limestone island sitting approximately 4.5 km from the south Wales mainland in the Bristol Channel. It is also the southern-most point of Wales. The island has had a long history of fortification and human occupation, but has received little attention from arachnologists (20 species recorded previously compared with England’s adjacent Steep Holm Island, approximately 4 km to the south, with 60 species (Chase, 1969; Spider Recording Scheme)).

The Evolution of Dragline Initiation in Spiders: Multiple Transitions from Multi- to Single-Gland Usage
diversity Article The Evolution of Dragline Initiation in Spiders: Multiple Transitions from Multi- to Single-Gland Usage Jonas O. Wolff Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia; jonas.wolff@mq.edu.au Received: 21 November 2019; Accepted: 17 December 2019; Published: 19 December 2019 Abstract: Despite the recognition of spider silk as a biological super-material and its dominant role in various aspects of a spider’s life, knowledge on silk use and silk properties is incomplete. This is a major impediment for the general understanding of spider ecology, spider silk evolution and biomaterial prospecting. In particular, the biological role of different types of silk glands is largely unexplored. Here, I report the results from a comparative study of spinneret usage during silk anchor and dragline spinning. I found that the use of both anterior lateral spinnerets (ALS) and posterior median spinnerets (PMS) is the plesiomorphic state of silk anchor and dragline spinning in the Araneomorphae, with transitions to ALS-only use in the Araneoidea and some smaller lineages scattered across the spider tree of life. Opposing the reduction to using a single spinneret pair, few taxa have switched to using all ALS, PMS and the posterior lateral spinnerets (PLS) for silk anchor and dragline formation. Silk fibres from the used spinnerets (major ampullate, minor ampullate and aciniform silk) were generally bundled in draglines after the completion of silk anchor spinning. Araneoid spiders were highly distinct from most other spiders in their draglines, being composed of major ampullate silk only. This indicates that major ampullate silk properties reported from comparative measurements of draglines should be handled with care. -

Bull. Ir. biogeog. Soc. No. 32 (2008) FIRST RECORDS OF THREE SPIDER SPECIES IN IRELAND (ARANEAE): GLYPHESIS COTTONAE (LA TOUCHE), MIOXENA BLANDA (SIMON) (LINYPHIIDAE) AND SEGESTRIA FLORENTINA (ROSSI) (SEGESTRIIDAE) Myles Nolan 48 Rathmines Road Upper, Rathmines, Dublin 6, Ireland. Postal address: Natural History Museum, Merrion Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. Introduction The first records of three spiders in Ireland are detailed: two of these are presumed native, the third is of uncertain origin. None of these species are noted in Helsdingen (1996) or subsequent publications pertaining to the Irish spider fauna. Glyphesis cottonae (La Touche) was collected at All Saints Bog, Co. Offaly, a site of considerable interest due to the presence of substantial birch Betula woodland on the raised bog. G. cottonae may be an internationally threatened species and is one of a number of species in Britain for which a Biodiversity Action Plan is to be developed. Mioxena blanda (Simon) is considered rare in Britain and was collected in Ireland in 1980 on coastal dune in Co. Wexford, though the specimen was misidentified at the time. Segestria florentina (Rossi) is a species that has been quite frequently imported into Britain and has established colonies at a number of coastal and market towns. It is not known if it is established in Ireland and a number of possible origins for the specimen are discussed. All three species were identified using Roberts (1985; 1987). Glyphesis cottonae (La Touche, 1945) (Linyphiidae) One male and one female of this very small (1-1.1mm) linyphiid spider were caught in pitfall traps set in All Saints Bog, Co. -

Journal of Arachnology 45:242–247 SHORT COMMUNICATION Spiders feeding on earthworms revisited: consumption of giant earthworms in the tropics Martin Nyffeler1, Witold Lapinski2, Andrew Snyder3 and Klaus Birkhofer4,5: 1Section of Conservation Biology, Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Basel, CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland. E-mail: martin.nyffeler@ unibas.ch; 2Institute of Evolutionary Ecology and Conservation Genomics, University of Ulm, 89069 Ulm, Germany; 3Department of Biology, University of Mississippi, Oxford, MS 38677, USA; 4Department of Biology, Lund University, SE-223 62 Lund, Sweden; 5Chair of Ecology, Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg, 03046 Cottbus, Germany Abstract. Predation on earthworms is common in some generalist predator species, as for example several ground beetle species (Coleoptera: Carabidae) that frequently feed on earthworms. In spiders (Araneae), however, such behavior is far less well documented. A survey of reports on spiders feeding on earthworms yielded a total of 44 naturally occurring predation events. Spiders from 14 families were observed feeding on earthworms in nature, and species from two additional families consumed earthworm prey in captivity. Earthworm predation by spiders has been observed in temperate, subtropical, and tropical regions in 18 different countries. Tropical spiders from the families Theraphosidae (Mygalomorphae) and Ctenidae (Araneomorphae) accounted for 59% of the reported predation events. Reports from French Guiana document the capture of giant earthworms (0.6–1 m in length) by the giant tarantula, Theraphosa blondi (Latreille, 1804). Predation on giant earthworms by large tarantulas has also been observed in rainforest habitats in Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Wandering spiders (Ctenidae) are known to feed on earthworms in Belize, Brazil, Costa Rica, French Guiana, Guyana, and Singapore.
