It is based on both original data and published data dating from 1861 to October 2000. Northern Asia is defined as the territories of Siberia, the Russian Far East, Mongolia, northern provinces of China, and both Korea and Japan (Hokkaido only). The catalogue lists 216 valid species belonging to 41 genera. The following data are supplied for each species: a range character- istic, all available records from northern Asia with approximate coordinates (mapped), all misidentifications and doubtful records (not mapped), habitat preferences, references to available biological data, taxonomic notes on species where necessary, references to lists of regional fauna and to catalogues of general importance. 24 species are excluded from the list of the Northern Asian salticids. 5 species names are newly synonymized: Evarcha pseudolaetabunda Peng & Xie, 1994 with E. mongolica Danilov & Logunov, 1994; He- liophanus mongolicus Schenkel, 1953 with H. baicalensis Kulczyñski, 1895; Neon rostra- tus Seo, 1995 with N. minutus ¯abka, 1985; Salticus potanini Schenkel, 1963 with S. lati- dentatus Roewer, 1951; and Synageles lepidus Kulczyñski in Chyzer & Kulczyñski, 1897 with S. subcingulatus (Simon, 1878). One Evarcha species is transferred to Pancorius: Pancorius crassipes (Karsch, 1881) comb. nov. 5 species names, Attus quadrifasciatus Grube, 1861, Salticus japonicus Karsch, 1879, Phidippus procus Karsch, 1879, Pseudohe- liophanus similis Schenkel, 1963 and Attus basalis Karsch, 1878, are recognized to be nomina nuda. 2 species names, Attus dimidiatus Grube, 1861 and Attus fuscostriatus Grube, 1861, are reported as nomina oblita. This catalogue is intended for zoologists, mainly arachnologists, as well as for biogeogra- phers, local biologists and naturalists.

The tribe Aelurillini (7 genera, 27 species) is represented in 16 states and in 2 union territories, Euophryini (10 genera, 16 species) in 14 states and in 4 union territories, Leptorchestini (2 genera, 3 species) only in 2 union territories, Plexippini (22 genera, 73 species) in all states except Mizoram and in 3 union territories, and Salticini (3 genera, 11 species) in 15 states and in 4 union terrioties. West Bengal harbours maximum number of species, followed by Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. Out of 129 species of the spiders listed, 70 species (54.3%) are endemic to India.

Wilcza 64, 00–950 Warszawa, Poland Summary The genus Euophrys from Britain and Central Europe (excluding the Mediterranean) is redefined. Of seventeen species analysed, only E. frontalis (Walckenaer, 1802) and E. herbigrada (Simon, 1871) are proposed to represent Euophrys (sensu stricto). Genus Pseudeuophrys is reinstated to include four European species. Six species are listed in Talavera. The relationships between the three genera and their distribution are discussed. The status of three species has still to be clarified.

Both of his parents, Gleb K. Mikhailov (1929–2021) and Galina R. Mikhailova (1926–2019), were research scientists. Kirill’s father was an expert in the history of mechanics, and mother, a biologist. Since early childhood Kirill was raised mainly by his maternal grandparents, Ro- man P. Nosov and Antonina V. Nosova. Kirill’s grandfather, a CPSU official and a career administrator at the Ministry of Energetics, retired from his post in 1965 to take care of the grandson. Kirill’s grandmother, an obstetrician by profession, received disability at a military plant during the WWII in evacuation, and was a housewife after the war. In 1978, Kirill began his studies at the Division of Biology (Biologicheskii Fakul’tet) of the Moscow State University (below, MSU). Even earlier, as a schoolboy, Kirill used to buy books on zoology, especially separate issues of the Fauna of the USSR and Keys to the Fauna of the USSR, then relatively cheap and available.

  • 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.

ZooKeys 842: 85–112. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.842.32970 Abstract A previously unreported radiation of myrmarachnine jumping spiders from New Guinea is described, which, although having few known species, is remarkably diverse in body forms. This clade is the new subtribe Levieina, represented by seven new species in three new genera. Within Leviea gen. n. are three new species, L. herberti sp. n., L. lornae sp. n., and L. francesae sp. n., all of which are unusual among the myrmarachnines in appearing as typical salticids, not antlike. Papuamyr gen. n. superficially resembles Ligonipes Karsch, 1878 or Rhombonotus L. Koch, 1879 as a compact antlike spider, but lacks their laterally- compressed palp and bears an ectal spur on the paturon of the chelicera.

  • “There Would Doubtless Be a Just Feeling of Pride
    “There would doubtless be a just feeling of pride and satisfaction in the heart of a naturalist who could say that he had made himself thoroughly acquainted with all the species of a particular group of animals, had learned their most secret habits, and mastered their several relations to the objects, animate and inanimate, which surrounded them. But perhaps a still keener pleasure is enjoyed by one who carries about with him some problem of the kind but partially solved, and who, holding in his hand the clue which shall guide him onwards, sees in each new place that he visits fresh opportunities of discovery.” J.
