A number of populations previously considered as subspecies or varieties of Buthus occitanus Leach, 1815 have been raised to the rank of species, but also many new species have been described. Most of the species considered in these studies come from North Africa, in particular from Morocco, Mauritania, Chad, Sudan, Libya and Egypt, but only three of them have been recorded from Algeria. One more new species of Buthus is here described from the Algerian mountains, raising the number of confirmed Buthus in Algeria to six. Key words: Scorpiones, Buthidae, Buthus, new species, mountains, Algeria. Una especie nueva de Buthus Leach, 1815 de Argelia (Scorpiones: Buthidae) Resumen: Desde el principio de la década de 2000 el género Buthus Leach, 1815 (Buthidae) ha sido objeto de una importante serie de estudios, dedicados especialmente a las especies del complejo ‘Buthus occitanus’. Diversas poblaciones previamente consideradas como subespecies o variedades de Buthus occitanus Leach, 1815 se han elevado a especies, pero además se han descrito muchas especies nuevas. La mayoría de las especies recogidas en esos estudios son del norte de África, especialmente de Marruecos, Mauritania, Chad, Sudán, Libia y Egipto, aunque sólo tres especies de ellas se han citado de Argelia. Aquí se describe otra especie nueva de las montañas de Argelia, elevando a seis el número de los Buthus confirmados de este país.

NOTES ON THE MAJORCAN CENTROMERUS DAHL (ARANEAE, LINYPHIIDAE) WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF A NEW CAVE SPECIES (BALEARIC ISLANDS, SPAIN) Jørgen Lissner Natural History Museum Aarhus, Wilhelm Meyers Allé 210, Universitetsparken, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark. — [email protected] Abstract: Centromerus ponsi Lissner sp. n. is described from a cave in Majorca (Spain). Specimens attributed to C. sylvaticus (Blackwall, 1841) in previous biospeleological studies of the Balearic troglofauna are considered conspecific with the new species, hence removal of C. sylvaticus from the checklist of Balearic spiders is proposed. The new species seems closest to C. acutidentatus Deltshev, 2002 and C. obenbergeri Kratochvíl & Miller, 1938, known from caves in the Balkan Peninsula. Centromerus desmeti Bosmans, 1986 is reported from Majorca, representing the first European record of this species.

Notas sobre los Centromerus Dahl (Araneae, Linyphiidae) de Mallorca y descripción de una especie nueva cavernícola (islas Baleares, España) Resumen: Se describe Centromerus ponsi Lissner sp. n. de una cueva de Mallorca (España). Los especímenes atribuidos a C. sylvaticus (Blackwall, 1841) en previos estudios bioespeleológicos de la troglofauna balear se consideran aquí como coespecíficos con la especie nueva, por lo cual se propone la retirada de C. sylvaticus de la lista de arañas de las Baleares. La especie nueva parece emparentada sobre todo con C. acutidentatus Deltshev, 2002 y C. obenbergeri Kratochvíl & Miller, 1938, conocidas de cuevas de la Penínisula Balcánica.

Gnaphosidae We studied the impact of sheep and goat grazing on 50 assemblages of ground spiders (Araneae: Gnaphosidae) in Crete phryganic, maquis and forest habitats from zero to 2000 m elevation on Crete, Greece using pitfall traps for one Maquis year at each sampling site. In total, 58 gnaphosid species and 16,592 individuals were collected. Cretan endemic Livestock grazing Gnaphosidae were negatively affected by intensive grazing and, contrary to findings on other taxa studied on the Habitat degradation island, they were sparse and rare throughout the study area. The species composition of gnaphosid assemblages was primarily determined by elevation. Trachyzelotes lyonneti, Urozelotes rusticus, Zelotes scrutatus, Anagraphis pallens and Berinda amabilis proved to be significant indicators of overgrazing. The vast majority of spiders belonging to synanthropic and nationally red-listed species were found in overgrazed sites.

Schmidt1: 1University of Bern, Baltzerstrasse 6, CH-3012 Bern, Switzerland; 2Mitrani Department of Desert Ecology, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, 84990 Midreshet Ben-Gurion, Israel Abstract. Intensively cultivated arable land and semi-desert are two dominant habitat types in the arid agroecosystem in the northwest Negev Desert (Israel). The present study compares activity-densities and species richness of spiders in these distinctive habitat types. Sixteen wheat fields and twelve locations in the semi-desert were sampled during the winter growing season of wheat. Semi-desert habitats had more spider species and higher spider activity-densities than irrigated wheat fields. The majority of spider families, namely Gnaphosidae, Thomisidae, Salticidae, Zodariidae, Philodromidae, Dysderidae, and Clubionidae had significantly higher activity-densities in the semi-desert compared to wheat. Only two families, the Linyphiidae that strongly dominated the arable spider community and Corinnidae had higher activity- densities in wheat than in semi-desert. Out of a total of 94 spider species, fourteen had significantly higher activity-densities in semi-desert than in wheat fields and eight species had significantly higher activity-densities in wheat fields than in semi- desert. Spider families and species that dominated the semi-desert communities also occurred in the wheat fields but at lower activity-densities.

  • Distribution of Spiders in Coastal Grey Dunes

The knowledge of dispersal evolution, motivation, its effect on metapopulation dynamics and species distribution at multiple scales is poorly understood and many questions remain unsolved or require empirical verification. In this thesis we contribute to the knowledge of dispersal, by studying both ecological and evolutionary aspects of spider dispersal in fragmented grey dunes. Studies were performed at the individual, population and assemblage level and indicate that behavioural traits narrowly linked to dispersal, con- siderably show [adaptive] variation in function of habitat quality and geometry. Dispersal also determines spider distribution patterns and metapopulation dynamics. Consequently, our results stress the need to integrate knowledge on behavioural ecology within the study of ecological landscapes. / Promotor: Prof. Dr. Eckhart Kuijken [Ghent University & Institute of Nature Dries Bonte Conservation] Co-promotor: Prf.

As a result of this it has become more and more difficult to consider all relevant information in preparation for further studies, especially faunistic projects. To improve the situation the East-Ger- man Spider Study Group (Arbeitskreis Arachnologie) has published bibliographies since 1982. Three parts have come out till now. They exclusively contain papers with faunistic dates to lay a foundation for a regional fauna. This bibliography will be the last one of the series. All four parts contain 637 references.

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 the past, this area was used mainly for grazing, but this is currently very limited. Our research site is an aban- doned pasture; therefore, ecological succession is carried out intensively here. Forgot- ten aer-utility areas (abandoned quarries, pastures, industrial sites) are usually con- sidered to be ‘sterile’ and unattractive for zoological research, but this may not always correspond to reality. Even in our research site, we have carried out several rare and surprising ndings. We would like to present the results of our research in this paper.
