Arachnids from the Greenhouses of the Botanical Garden of the PJ Šafárik University in Košice, Slovakia (Arachnida: Araneae, Opiliones, Palpigradi, Pseudoscorpiones)
© Arachnologische Gesellschaft e.V. Frankfurt/Main; http://arages.de/ Arachnologische Mitteilungen / Arachnology Letters 53: 19-28 Karlsruhe, April 2017 Arachnids from the greenhouses of the Botanical Garden of the PJ Šafárik University in Košice, Slovakia (Arachnida: Araneae, Opiliones, Palpigradi, Pseudoscorpiones) Anna Šestáková, Martin Suvák, Katarína Krajčovičová, Andrea Kaňuchová & Jana Christophoryová doi: 10.5431/aramit5304 Abstract. This is the first detailed contribution on the arachnid fauna from heated greenhouses in the Botanical Garden of the P.J. Šafárik University in Košice (Slovakia). Over ten years 62 spider taxa in 21 families were found. Two spiders, Mermessus trilobatus (Emerton, 1882) and Hasarius adansoni (Audouin, 1826), were recorded in Slovakia for the first time. Another interesting record was the cellar spider Hoplopholcus sp. and a new locality for the exotic spiders Coleosoma floridanum Banks, 1900 and Triaeris stenaspis Simon, 1891 was discovered. Additionally, a short survey of other arachnids (except Acari) was done. A single specimen of a provisionally identifiable palpigrade species (cf. Eukoenenia florenciae), one harvestmen species, Opilio canestrinii (Thorell, 1876), and four pseudoscorpion species were recorded. The rare pseudoscorpion species Chthonius ressli Beier, 1956 was collected for the second time in Slovakia.

Huber, Jonathan Neumann, Arno Grabolle & Vladimír Hula doi: 10.5431/aramit5303 Abstract. The pholcid spiders Modisimus culicinus (Simon, 1893) and Micropholcus fauroti (Simon, 1887) are pantropical species that have spread around the world at least several decades ago. Here we present numerous new records for both species, most of which fall into the expected latitudes, i.e. between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn (93 % and 87 % of records respectively). However, we also report the first records for M. culicinus from Central Europe (Germany and Czech Republic, >50°N) and the first European record for M. fauroti from outside of Belgium (Germany). The fact that in both species several specimens have been found at more than one locality suggests that they may already be in the stage of establishment and spreading in Europe. Finally, we present an updated identification key to the genera of Pholcidae in Europe. Key words: alien, harmless, invasive, pantropical, synanthropic Zusammenfassung.

A total of 1117 spider species and two subspecies belonging to 52 families have been reported. The list is dominated by members of the families Gnaphosidae (145 species), Salticidae (143 species) and Linyphiidae (128 species) respectively. KEY WORDS: Araneae, Checklist, Turkey, Fauna To date, Turkish researches have been published three checklist of spiders in the country. The first checklist was compiled by Karol (1967) and contains 302 spider species. The second checklist was prepared by Bayram (2002). He revised Karol’s (1967) checklist and reported 520 species from Turkey. Latest checklist of Turkish spiders was published by Topçu et al. (2005) and contains 613 spider records. A lot of work have been done in the last decade about Turkish spiders. So, the checklist of Turkish spiders need to be updated. We updated all checklist and prepare a new checklist using all published the available literatures. This list contains 1117 species of spider species and subspecies belonging to 52 families from Turkey (Table 1). This checklist is compile from literature dealing with the Turkish spider fauna. The aim of this study is to determine an update list of spider in Turkey. -

Jelen közleményünk- ben bemutatjuk a hazai pókfaunából is régóta ismert két - elsősorban épületekhez kötődő, ún. szinantróp - faj biológiájának megismerésére irányuló vizsgálataink eddigi eredményeit. A Magyarországról kimutatott álkaszáspókokkal több tanulmány is foglalkozott. Hazánk történelmi területét illetően HERMAN (1879) Magyarország pók-faunája III. kötetében a mintás álkaszáspókot még Forskal kancsalpókjaként Pholcus forskalii néven, a nagy álkaszáspókot pedig lábas kancsalpókként jegyzi. CHYZER és KULCZYNSKI (1918) a Magyar Birodalom Állatvilága című művükben a mintás álkaszáspókot Holocnemus forskali-ként említik.

FAUNISTIC DIVERSITY AND ZOOGEOGRAPHY OF CAVE-DWELLING SPIDERS ON THE BALKAN PENINSULA Christo Deltshev Institute of Zoology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract — A total of 326 species from 115 genera and 31 families of Araneae have been established in caves of the Balkan Penisula so far. The species are distributed in different territories as follows: Bulgaria – 99; Greece (Mainland) – 72; Greece (Insular part) – 16; Crete – 44; Croatia – 63; Serbia – 59; Bosnia – 52; Macedonia – 44; Montenegro – 44; Slovenia – 43; Albania – 10; Turkey – eight; and Romania – four species. The largest number of troglobites are encountered in the Dinaric region – 113 (39 blind), Pindus region – 32 (eight blind), Thracian-Macedonian region – 18 (four blind), Balkanid region – 13 (two blind), Danubian region — one; and North Dobruja region — four (three blind) species. The extreme rich- ness of troglobitic spiders in these regions leads to the assumption that these were major centers of speciation and evolution of species. On the basis of their current distribution, the established 324 species can be classified into 17 zoogeographical categories, grouped into four complexes (widely distributed, European, Mediterranean, and Balkan endemics). The largest number of species belong to the group of Balkan endemics (56.5%), which are also the most characteristic and reflect the local character of the fauna.
