Abstract Six species, including two new species, of the spider genus Plator Simon 1880 belonging to the family Trochanteriidae from China are reviewed, which are Plator bowo sp. nov., P. insolens Simon 1880, P. pandeae Tikader 1969, P. pennatus Platnick, 1976, P. sinicus Zhu & Wang 1963 (revalidated) and P. yunlong sp. nov. The male of P. pennatus is described for the first time. Two species groups, Plator insolens group (including P. i ns ole n s, P. sinicus and the Japanese species P. nipponicus Kishida 1914) and Plator pennatus group (including P. bowo sp. nov., P. insolens, P. pandeae, P. pennatus and an Indian species, P. in di c us Simon 1897) are recognized. Key words: Plator, new species, taxonomy Introduction The spider family Trochanteriidae Karsch, 1879, commonly called flat-spiders in China, is a relatively small family. A series of disquisitions on the family were published from 1969 to 2002 by Tikader, Platnick and others. Up to now, 18 genera and 146 species in 3 subfamilies are reported from all over the world (Platnick 2006), occuring in South Africa, Southern Europe, Central and South America, Southeast Asia and mostly in Australia. Only 2 genera, Plator and Olin have been recorded from Asia. The genus Olin, was established from Southeast Asia by Deeleman-Reinhold (2001) for a single species, O. platnicki Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001. The genus Plator was erected by Simon (1880) for a single female, P. insolens, as type species of the genus on the basis of the specimen collected from Beijing (Peking), China. Up to the present, eight species were known all Accepted by P. Jäger: 1 Feb. 2006; published: 6 Mar. 2006 31.

J ÄGER Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, Senckenberganlage 25, D60325 Frankfurt am Main, Germany. email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The palpal claw is evaluated as a taxonomic character for 42 species of the spider family Sparassidae and investigated in 48 other spider families for comparative purposes. A pectinate claw appears to be synapomorphic for all Araneae. Elongated teeth and the egg-sac carrying behaviour of the Heteropodinae seem to represent a synapomorphy for this subfamily, thus results of former systematic analyses are supported. One of the Heteropodinae genera, Sinopoda, displays variable character states. According to ontogenetic patterns, shorter palpal claw teeth and the absence of egg-sac carrying behaviour may be secondarily reduced within this genus. Based on the idea of evolutionary efficiency, a functional correlation between the morphological character (elongated palpal claw teeth) and egg-sac carrying behaviour is hypothesized. The palpal claw with its sub-characters is considered to be of high analytical systematic significance, but may also give important hints for taxonomy and phylogenetics. Results from a zoogeographical approach suggest that the sister-groups of Heteropodinae lineages are to be found in Madagascar and east Africa and that Heteropodinae, as defined in the present sense, represents a polyphyletic group.

Checklist of Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) from India-2012
© Indian Society of Arachnology ISSN 2278 - 1587(Online) CHECKLIST OF SPIDERS (ARACHNIDA: ARANEAE) FROM INDIA-2012 Keswani, S.; P. Hadole and A. Rajoria* SGB Amravati University, Amravati-444602 [email protected]; [email protected] *Indraprastha University, Delhi; [email protected] ABSTRACT Spiders comprise one of the largest (5-6th) orders of animals. The spider fauna of India has never been studied in its entirety despite of contributions by many arachnologists since Stoliczka (1869). In the present paper, we provide an updated checklist of spiders from India based on published records and on the collections of the Arachnology Museum, SGB Amravati University. A total of 1686 species of spiders are now recorded from India. They belong to two infraorders, Mygalomorphae and Araneomorphae, 60 families and 438 genera. The list also includes 70 species from Karakorum. The spider diversity in India is dominated by Saltisids followed by Thomisids and then Araneids, Gnaphosids and Lycosids. Key words: India, Araneae, spider fauna, checklist. INTRODUCTION The pioneering contribution on the taxonomy of Indian spiders is that of European arachnologist Stoliczka (1869). Review of available literature reveals that the earliest contribution by Blackwall (1867); Karsch (1873); Simon (1887); Thorell (1895) and Pocock (1900) were the pioneer workers of Indian spiders. They described many species from India. Tikader (1980, 1982), Tikader, and Malhotra (1980) described spiders from India. Tikader (1980) compiled a book on Thomisid spiders of India, comprising two subfamilies, 25 genera and 115 species. Of these, 23 species were new to science. Descriptions, illustrations and distributions of all species were given. Keys to the subfamilies, genera, and species were provided.

Past records were compiled and four new surveys of spiders in Ulleungdo Island were conducted from May to September 2019. The surveys were conducted at 18 sites in seven of the nine major administrative districts. A total of 114 species from 84 genera in 26 families were identified from 958 individual spiders. The 21 spider species belonging to 10 families were added to the known spider fauna on Ulleungdo Island from the present study. The survey results were combined present results with previous records showed there were 242 species from 143 genera in 32 families on Ulleungdo Island. The species richness in each family was high, in the order Araneidae, Theridiidae, Salticidae, Linyphiidae, Tetragnathidae, Thomisidae, Gnaphodidae and Philodromidae. Four Korean endemic species, Coscinida ulleungensis Paik, 1995, Steatoda ulleungensis Paik, 1995, Drassodes taehadongensis Paik, 1995 and Phrurolithus pennatoides Seo, 2018, found only on Ulleungdo Island. In addition, the following six indigenous species that inhabit only in Ulleungdo Island: Euryopis octomaculata (Paik, 1995), Porrhomma montanum Jackson, 1913, Piratula knorri (Scopoli, 1763), Cladothela parva Kamura, 1991, Cladothela unciinsignita (Bösenberg and Strand, 1906) and Clubiona tongdaoensis Zhang, Yin, Bao and Kim, 1997.

Patil Sangludkar Mahavidyalaya, Daryapur, India. corrosponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper contains a systematic list of species and the literature references of the spiders precinctive in India. Spiders from 58 families, 340 genera and 1238 species are precinctive in India. However, there is an urgent need to revise all these species. Key words: Precinctive spiders, India INTRODUCTION The first information on the precinctive spider fauna of India came from the female specimen of Oxyopes indicus (Walckenaer, 1805). Thereafter, the work of Sundevall (1833); Walckenaer (1841); Blackwall (1864, 1867); Simon (1864, 1885, 1887, 1888, 1889, 1892, 1893, 1895, 1897, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1905, 1906); Frauenfeld (1867); Thorell (1868, 1891); Stoliczka (1869) O.

These workers reported 408 spider species from India which are endemic to India. Later on, spider research was geared up in India from 1962 by the work of Tikader (1960-1991), Gajbe (1975-2008), Biswas (1984-2004) and Patel (1972-2005) who reported more than 500 spider species precinctive in India.

Handbook Indian Spiders
Spiders,. though ubQuitous, have re .. mained a. neglected group and aoout eighty five years agio a consolidated vo'ume on entire Arachnida was published by Pocock (1900) in the Fauna of British India. During the last 3,0 years, mainly through the work of the author. enormous amount of infor mation on Indian spiders has been gathered. The first (1980) and second volume (1982). and the third volume on scorpions ( 1983) were published by the author. The present Handbook on spiders deals wi,th and gives complete information about Arach nida and especially the spiders o,f India. Apart from systematic studi:es on spiders belonging to 43 families, the author has given a detailed general account of external and internal anatomy, characters of taxonomic importance, habitat, food and feeding habits and other phenomenon of their life. Keys of the families and list of higher categories, and other infor mations related to each family of spiders are given along with the orb weaving mechani,sm of spiders in the famity Araneidae ( == Argiopidae). It is earnesUy hoped that the present Handbook will provide a handy tool to speciali.sts, research students and naturalists in India and elsewhere · interested in the study of Indian Arach nida, especially the spiders.
