    Check-list of Polish spiders (Araneae, except Salticidae) file:///D:/Internet/Polen/Polen Spinnenliste 2004.htm Check-list of Polish spiders (Araneae, except Salticidae) 1. November, 2004 by Wojciech STARĘGA Instytut Biologii, Katedra Zoologii, Akademia Podlaska, Siedlce [email protected] The present list is a compilation and continuation of the earlier check-lists of Polish spiders (PRÓSZYŃSKI & STARĘGA 1971, 1997, 2003, STARĘGA 1983, PROSZYNSKI & STAREGA 2002]. It will be currently updated, according to the progress of cognition of the country's spider fauna. I give also a list of the most important faunistic and other publications after 1971 which add any species new to the Polish fauna (or cross out some of them). The nomenclatural changes were regarded as far as possible to unify the names used in Polish arachnological literature with those in foreign check-lists and catalogues (e.g. PLATEN & al. 1995, commented by BLICK 1998), NENTWIG et. at. 2003, TANASEVITCH 2004, and first of all, with the latest version (5.0) of the "Spider Catalog" by PLATNICK (2004). The species, which occurrence in Poland is certain, have serial numbers, some exceptions which need confirmation or re-examination are marked with "X" sign instead of a number; doubtful species were not listed, though named in earlier papers (pre-1971). Species described from Poland (or with Polish localities mentioned in their original descriptions) are marked with „☼” sign. Species not "officially" known (i.e. published) from Poland but whose occurrence is already confirmed have remark „(fide ... [the name of its finder])". Some nomenclatorical remarks are given in square brackets. The species protected by law are marked with an asterisk (*), threatened ones - with symbols (in italics) used in the newest "Red list of threatened species in Poland" (STARĘGA & al.

FIRST PORTUGUESE RECORD OF THE GENUS ATRICHOPS VERRALL (DIPTERA: ATHERICIDAE) Rui Andrade Rua Calouste Gulbenkian 237 4H3, Porto, Portugal – [email protected] Abstract: The dipteran family Athericidae is, in Portugal, insufficiently known with only one species recorded to date. In this paper, the species Atrichops crassipes (Meigen, 1820) is recorded for the first time in Portugal increasing the number of species of this family in the country from one to two. Key words: Diptera, Athericidae, Atrichops crassipes, new record, distribution, Portugal. Primera cita portuguesa del género Atrichops Verrall (Diptera: Athericidae). Resumen: La familia de dípteros Athericidae está insuficientemente conocida en Portugal, de donde se ha citado sólo una especie hasta ahora. En este trabajo, la especie Atrichops crassipes (Meigen, 1820) se cita por primera vez de Portugal, incrementando el número de especies de esta familia en el país de una a dos. Palabras clave: Diptera, Athericidae, Atrichops crassipes, cita nueva, distribución, Portugal. Athericidae (Diptera) is a small family of brachyceran flies The location where the single specimen was collected, related to the Tabanidae.

We studied 17 different macro and microhabitat factors that influence the altitudinal distribution of 40 Hemerodromiinae and Clinocerinae species in the Pieniny Mts., Poland. This is the first such study in Central Europe and one of only a few in the world. The results clearly show that species richness and distribution of Hemerodromiinae and Clinocerinae species are changing with the elevational gradient, with a monotonic decline in species richness with increasing elevation observed for the first subfamily and the hump-shaped distribution pattern noted for the second subfamily, as well as the size of the stream/river and the surrounding area in species distribution in the Pieniny Mts. Abstract: The two subfamilies Hemerodromiinae and Clinocerinae, also known as aquatic dance Citation: Słowi´nska,I.; Jaskuła, R. flies, are a group of small predatory insects occurring mainly in mountainous areas and the northern Distributional Patterns of Aquatic temperate. However, very little is known about distribution patterns for most of the species.
