Further Study of Two Chinese Cave Spiders 77 Doi: 10.3897/Zookeys.870.35971 RESEARCH ARTICLE Launched to Accelerate Biodiversity Research

ZooKeys 870: 77–100. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.870.35971 Abstract The current paper expands knowledge of two Chinese cave spider species originally described in the genus Maymena Gertsch, 1960: M. paquini Miller, Griswold & Yin, 2009 and M. kehen Miller, Griswold & Yin, 2009. With the exception of these two species, the genus Maymena is endemic to the western hemisphere, and new evidence presented here supports the creation of a new genus for the Chinese species, which we name Yamaneta gen. nov. The male of Y. kehen is described for the first time. Detailed illustrations of the habitus, male palps and epigyne are provided for these two species, as well as descriptions of their webs. -
A Protocol for Online Documentation of Spider Biodiversity Inventories Applied to a Mexican Tropical Wet Forest (Araneae, Araneomorphae)

C. P. 04510. Del. Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, México. E-mail: [email protected] 2Corresponding author Abstract Spider community inventories have relatively well-established standardized collecting protocols. Such protocols set rules for the orderly acquisition of samples to estimate community parameters and to establish comparisons between areas. These methods have been tested worldwide, providing useful data for inventory planning and optimal sampling allocation efforts. The taxonomic counterpart of biodiversity inventories has received considerably less attention. Species lists and their relative abundances are the only link between the community parameters resulting from a biotic inventory and the biology of the species that live there. However, this connection is lost or speculative at best for species only partially identified (e. g., to genus but not to species). This link is particularly important for diverse tropical regions were many taxa are undescribed or little known such as spiders. One approach to this problem has been the development of biodiversity inventory websites that document the morphology of the species with digital images organized as standard views. -

Higgins Chuck Parker The insect Order Trichoptera, or caddisflies, consists of an estimated 50,000 species worldwide, with approximately 1700 species known from North America north of Mexico. One hundred sixty-five have been identified from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, out of possibly 300 species that may eventually be found here. This compares with a total of slightly more than 400 species presently known from Ten- nessee as a whole. Caddisflies are very abundant in the Smokies, but are rarely noticed Limnephilus sp. makes its case of plant material, by most Park visitors. Adult caddisflies are nocturnal and closely resemble moths. such as twigs and leaves. Larval caddisflies are aquatic, living in virtually all of the Parks 2000 miles of streams, as well as in the springs, seeps, ponds, and lakes. Some caddisfly larvae are free-living, ranging about the rocks and moss in the streams searching for food. Many other larvae D. Penrose D. build shelters fixed to rocks, logs, or other stable substrates. These shelters may be made almost entirely of a sheet of silk and placed over a slight depression on the substrate surface. Others build delicate tubes of silk that are kept open by the current, which also brings food to a net which they construct. The larvae then simply graze their meals from particles trapped by the nets. Larvae of the family Hydropsychidae build sturdy retreats of sand particles glued together with silk, securely fixed to rocks and logs often in the strongest currents. -

Critical analysis of existing spider species lists for Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois reveals 900 species recorded from the five-state region (284 genera, 40 families). All non- native, Palearctic, or otherwise questionable species records were scrutinized, and their status is discussed. The most speciose families in the region are the Linyphiidae (almost 24% of species), Salticidae (10.3%), Theridiidae (8.9%), Lycosidae (8.8%), and Araneidae (7.7%). All sources used for spider species names and species records are unambiguously quoted. Spider species records are presented in tables allowing comparison of family composition among the states, and prediction of number of heretofore unrecorded species. Richness among states is analyzed and found to be dependent on varying degrees of sampling effort. As a new tool, a Spider Species Name Concordance Table allows tracking previously published spider species names to the currently valid name of every species record. -

The circumscription and diagnosis of the symphytognathoid family Mysmenidae have always been elusive, and its monophyly has never been thoroughly tested. We combine sequence data from six genes with a morphological dataset in a total-evidence phylogenetic analysis (ca. 6100 characters, 109 taxa: 74 mysmenids), and explore the phylogenetic signal of the combined dataset, individual genes, and gene combinations with different parsimony methods and model-based approaches. Several support values and parameter-sensitivity schemes are explored to assess stability of clades. Mysmenidae monophyly is supported by ca. 20 morphological and ca. 420 molecular synapomorphies. Mysmenidae is monophyletic under all combined analyses that include morphology. Almost no gene or gene combination supports Mysmenidae monophyly. Symphytognathoids are delimited to include: (Theridiosomatidae (Mysmenidae (Synaphridae (Anapidae + Symphytognathidae)))). Micropholcommatids are a lineage nested within the anapid clade and thus are synonymized with Anapidae (Micropholcommatinae New Rank). We provide morphological diagnoses for all symphytognathoid families and discuss the behavioural evolutionary implications of our hypotheses of relationships. -

Agradeço especialmente ao Adal por aceitar me orientar, mesmo que eu tenha “entrado” no laboratório por difusão, em algum momento minhas visitas ficaram tão frequentes que minha presença se tornou usual e me tornei um membro da aracnologia e estávamos discutindo sobre possíveis trabalhos. Também agradeço pela paciência, compreensão e incentivo em executar um projeto que só tende a crescer, mesmo não tendo o foco sistemático da zoologia. Ao Bira, agradeço a oportunidade de me coorientar e, antes disso, de me apresentar essa disciplina fantástica que é a biogeografia e mostrar que ela não precisa ser o método de um trabalho, mas uma área totalmente diferente. A todos os colegas de laboratório fica um agradecimento especial, obrigado por deixarem o ambiente de trabalho algo tão descontraído e confortável, mesmo que em vários momentos meu humor não estivesse tão bom. -
