The Mississippi list includes 26 families with 263 species, whereas the Arkansas collection includes 24 families with 206 species. Various methods of collecting were used in an effort to sample all populations and to contribute to knowledge of the taxonomy ecology and distribution of the spiders found in both Mississippi and Arkansas. This paper presents a list of spiders collected in the 82 Ctenlzidae counties ofMississippi and in a random sampling of Arkansas * counties. The Mississippi collection, housed at the University of Ummidia audouini (Lucas) Mississippi, includes 26 families and 263 species; the Arkansas collection includes 24 families and 206 species. Amauroblidae Elections were made at various times ofday and in every Amaurobius bennetti (Blackwall) th of the year. Every county of Mississippi was covered Titanoeca americana Emerton een summer I960 and spring 1966.

This was repDrted in Science (Stiles, 1937) and constituted the first official record of the black widow for Iowa. This record was of special interest because Minnesota and Iowa had been listed as the only states from which this spider had not been reported officially. It was discovered at that time that the spider was one of Iowa's most neglected animals.

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.

In Bangladesh, very few contributions are available on the taxonomic study on these arachnids. The present paper contains an updated checklist of the spider fauna of Bangladesh based on the published records of different workers and the identified collections of the recent studies by the author. It includes a total of 334 species of spiders belong to the infraorders Mygalomorphae and Araneomorphae under 21 families and 100 genera. A brief diagnosis of different families and their domination together with the distribution throughout the country are provided herewith. Key words: Checklist, spiders, Araneae, Arachnida, Bangladesh INTRODUCTION Bangladesh is basically a riverine agricultural country. It lies between 20.35ºN and 26.75ºN latitude and 88.03ºE and 92.75ºE longitude, covering an area of 1,47,570 sq. km (55,126 sq. miles). The country as such offers varied climatic situations viz., temperature, rainfall, humidity, fogmist, dew and Haor- frost, winds etc. (Rashid 1977). With the vast agricultural lands, also there are different kinds of evergreen, deciduous and mangrove forests staying different areas of the country viz., the southern Sunderbans, northern Bhawal and Madhupur forests and eastern Chittagong and Chittagong Hill-Tracts forest. Along with the agricultural lands, each of the forest ecosystems is composed of numerous species of spider fauna of the country.

The new species can easily be diagnosed by the presence of anterior epigynal hood, triangular spermatheca, short, horn like fertilization ducts, anteromedian greyish lanceolate patch and lateral black bands running from base to apex of abdominal dorsum. New combinations, Hamataliwa ovata (=Oxyopes ovatus) and H. reticulata (=O. reticulatus) are also proposed for the two endemic oxyopids. Hamataliwa ovata should be characterized by the circular spermatheca, long, U shaped copulatory ducts and convergent brown marking on each lateral side of abdomen. The second named species, H. reticulata stands distinct by the longer than wide spermatheca, short, outwardly curved fertilization ducts and median chalk white reticulations and 2 pairs of muscular apodemes on abdominal dorsum. Females of the three lynx spider species are described and illustrated. Key words: Oxyopes Hamataliwa New species New combination India INTRODUCTION West Bengal, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh.

Abstract Faunal biodiversity of the lynx spiders (Oxyopidae: Araneomorphae: Araneae: Arachnida) in different states of India and union territories is presented herewith. A total of 96 species placed under 4 genera of Oxyopidae were recorded in all states and union territories of India except for Nagaland, Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Ladakh, out of which 65 species (67.7%) were strictly endemic. However, among them, 4 species seem to be erroneous report or misidentification. The maximum number of species (35 species) were recorded in Maharashtra followed by 34 species from West Bengal, 28 species each from Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, 27 species from Kerala, 19 species from Tamil Nadu, 18 species each from Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh, 15 species from Rajasthan, 14 species from Assam, 13 species from Karnataka and less than 15 species are recorded from other states. No species of lynx spider is recorded from Nagaland and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. Indeed, no survey was conducted in these regions and need extensive researches in these areas. Key words: Oxyopidae, checklist, faunal distribution, lynx spiders, India.

  • Arachnida: Araneae) of the Canadian Prairies
    75 Chapter 4 Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) of the Canadian Prairies Héctor Cárcamo Lethbridge Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lethbridge, AB Jaime Pinzón Department of Renewable Resources, Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton Robin Leech 10534, 139 St NW, Edmonton AB John Spence Department of Renewable Resources, Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton Abstract. Spiders are the seventh most diverse order of arthropods globally and are prominent predators in all prairie habitats. In this chapter, a checklist for the spiders of the Prairie Provinces (767 recorded species and 44 possible species) is presented along with an overview of all 26 families that occur in the region. Eighteen of the species from the region are adventive. Linyphiidae is by far the dominant family, representing 39% of all species in the three provinces. Gnaphosidae and Lycosidae each represent 8% and three other families (Salticidae, Dictynidae, and Theridiidae) each account for 7%. A summary of biodiversity studies conducted in the Prairies Ecozone and from transition ecoregions is also provided. The Mixed Grassland Ecoregion has the most distinctive assemblage; Schizocosa mccooki and Zelotes lasalanus are common only in this ecoregion. Other ecoregions appear to harbour less distinctive assemblages, but most have been poorly studied. Lack of professional opportunities for spider systematists in Canada remains a major barrier to the advancement of the taxonomy and ecology of spiders. Résumé. Les aranéides forment le septième ordre le plus diversifi é d’arthropodes dans le monde; ce sont des prédateurs très présents dans tous les habitats des Prairies.

The review cleared that diversity of lycosoid spider fauna is maximum in West Bengal followed by Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and they are not distributed maximally in the states and union territories within Biodiversity hotspots. This fauna is distributed all over the country. There is nearly 69.35% endemism (in context of India). Keywords: Distribution; Lycosoidea; India; State; Union Territories; Annotated; checklist 1. INTRODUCTION Spiders, composing the order Araneae Clerck, 1757 is the largest group among arachnids and separated into two suborders: Mesothelae Pocock, 1892 (segmented spiders) World Scientific News 47(2) (2016) 298-317 and Opisthothelae Pocock, 1892 (includes all other spiders). Later one is further divided into two infraorders: Mygalomorphae Pocock, 1892 (ancient' spiders) and Araneomorphae Smith, 1902 (modern' spiders include the vast majority of spiders) (Coddington, 2005; WSC, 2015).
