A new genus and ten new species of spiders (Arachnida, Araneae) from Iran.

ABSTRACT: One new genus (Sestakovaia gen. nov.; Liocranidae) and 10 new species of five families of spiders are described from different provinces of Iran: Brigitteaavicenna sp. nov. (♂♀, Alborz and Kurdistan provinces) (Dictynidae), Micariaatropatene sp. nov. (♂, East Azerbaijan Province), Zagrotesborna sp. nov. (♂, Hormozgan Province), Z.parla sp. nov. (♂, Kerman Province) (Gnaphosidae), Sestakovaiahyrcania sp. nov. (♂, Golestan Province), Mesioteluspatricki sp. nov. (♂, Golestan Province) (Liocranidae), Palpimanuscarmania sp. nov. (♂, Kerman Province), P.persicus sp. nov. (♂♀, Hormozgan Province) (Palpimanidae), Rhysodromusgenoensis sp. nov. (♂, Hormozgan Province), and R.medes sp. nov. (♂, Hormozgan Province) (Philodromidae). Furthermore, Sestakovaiaannulipes (Kulczyński, 1897), comb. nov. (ex. Mesiotelus) and Zagrotesbifurcatus (Zamani, Chatzaki, Esyunin & Marusik, 2021), comb. nov. (ex. Berinda) are proposed as new combinations.

Heteroonops (Araneae, Oonopidae) spiders from Hispaniola: the discovery of ten new species.

Project description:The Caribbean biodiversity hotspot harbors vast reserves of undiscovered species. A large-scale inventory of Caribbean arachnids (CarBio) is uncovering new species across the arachnid tree of life, and allowing inference of the evolutionary history that has generated this diversity. Herein we describe ten new species of Heteroonops (Oonopidae, or goblin spiders), from Hispaniola: H. scapula sp. nov., H. jurassicus sp. nov., H. aylinalegreae sp. nov., H. verruca sp. nov., H. renebarbai sp. nov., H. yuma sp. nov., H. carlosviquezi sp. nov., H. gabrielsantosi sp. nov., H. solanllycarreroae sp. nov. and H. constanza sp. nov. The occurrence of the pantropical type species Heteroonops spinimanus (Simon, 1891) is reported and new localities are given for: H. validus (Bryant, 1948), H. vega (Platnick & Dupérré, 2009) and H. castelloides (Platnick & Dupérré, 2009). Molecular phylogenies indicate substantial genetic divergence separating these taxa. This work adds to evidence that the depth of diversity in the Caribbean biodiversity hotspot is particularly striking for tiny taxa living in leaf litter.

A new genus and two new species of oonopid spiders from Myanmar (Araneae, Oonopidae).

Project description:A new genus, Promolotra gen. nov., including two new species, P. hponkanrazi sp. nov. (??) and P. shankhaung sp. nov. (?), is described from Myanmar. The new genus is similar to Molotra Ubick & Griswold, 2011 but can be distinguished by the completely fused bulb and cymbium, the presence of a receptacle, the absence of grooves connecting either the anterior or posterior pairs of spiracles, and the incised labium of both sexes.

Cytogenetics of entelegyne spiders (Arachnida, Araneae) from southern Africa.

Project description:Spiders represent one of the most studied arachnid orders. They are particularly intriguing from a cytogenetic point of view, due to their complex and dynamic sex chromosome determination systems. Despite intensive research on this group, cytogenetic data from African spiders are still mostly lacking. In this study, we describe the karyotypes of 38 species of spiders belonging to 16 entelegyne families from South Africa and Namibia. In the majority of analysed families, the observed chromosome numbers and morphology (mainly acrocentric) did not deviate from the family-level cytogenetic characteristics based on material from other continents: Tetragnathidae (2n? = 24), Ctenidae and Oxyopidae (2n? = 28), Sparassidae (2n? = 42), Gnaphosidae, Trachelidae and Trochanteriidae (2n? = 22), and Salticidae (2n? = 28). On the other hand, we identified interspecific variability within Hersiliidae (2n? = 33 and 35), Oecobiidae (2n? = 19 and 25), Selenopidae (2n? = 26 and 29) and Theridiidae (2n? = 21 and 22). We examined the karyotypes of Ammoxenidae and Gallieniellidae for the first time. Their diploid counts (2n? = 22) correspond to the superfamily Gnaphosoidea and support their placement in this lineage. On the other hand, the karyotypes of Prodidominae (2n? = 28 and 29) contrast with all other Gnaphosoidea. Similarly, the unusually high diploid number in Borboropactus sp. (2n? = 28) within the otherwise cytogenetically uniform family Thomisidae (mainly 2n? = 21-24) supports molecular data suggesting a basal position of the genus in the family. The implementation of FISH methods for visualisation of rDNA clusters facilitated the detection of complex dynamics of numbers of these loci. We identified up to five loci of the 18S rDNA clusters in our samples. Three different sex chromosome systems (X0, X1X20 and X1X2X30) were also detected among the studied taxa.

Taxonomic notes on Leptonetidae (Arachnida, Araneae) from China, with descriptions of one new genus and eight new species.

Project description:Species of the spider family Leptonetidae Simon, 1890 from China are revised based on molecular and morphological data analyses. A new genus, Jingneta Wang & Li gen. nov., is erected, with Leptoneta cornea Tong & Li, 2008 as the type species. Twenty-two Chinese species previously assigned to the genus Leptoneta Simon, 1872 are revised, with eight transferred to Falcileptoneta Komatsu, 1970, seven transferred to Jingneta gen. nov., five transferred to Leptonetela Kratochvíl, 1978, and one species each transferred to Longileptoneta Seo, 2015 and Masirana Kishida, 1942. Eight new species are described: i.e., Falcileptoneta shuanglong Wang & Li sp. nov. (♂), Jingneta caoxian Wang & Li sp. nov. (♂♀), J. jingdong Wang & Li sp. nov. (♂♀), Longileptoneta gutan Wang & Li sp. nov. (♂♀), L. huangshan Wang & Li sp. nov. (♂♀), L. shenxian Wang & Li sp. nov. (♂♀), L. yeren Wang & Li sp. nov. (♂), and L. zhuxian Wang & Li sp. nov. (♂♀). In total, 127 leptonetid species from six genera are documented from China: nine species of Falcileptoneta, nine species of Jingneta gen. nov., 101 species of Leptonetela, six species of Longileptoneta, one species of Masirana, and one species of Rhyssoleptoneta Tong & Li, 2007.
