In den Jahren 1992 und 1993 wurden von L. Nunnenmacher zur Erfassung potentieller Blattlausprädatoren kurzzeitige Bodenfallenfänge aufVersuchsflächen mit Kopfsalatanbau durchgeführt. Die dabei erfaßten Spinnen wurden 1997 determiniert (Belege in coil. Blick). Die Artenliste und die Fangsummen sind bereits bei NUNNENMACHER (1998) genannt. Die Daten sollen hiermit arachnologisch zuganglich gemacht werden.
In winter 2000/01 and in June 2001 branch-beating methods were used for sampling spiders in canopies of spruce (Picea abies) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) in SW-Bavaria (Germany). Differences in spider assemblages between the two tree species are discussed with particular emphasis on the dominant species and taxa. For the rare species Theridion boesenbergi Strand, 1904 remarks on their occurrence in Bavaria, Germany and Europe are given. For Cinetata gradata (Simon, 1881) we present an update to the entire known distribution including a new map. For both species new records are specified and discussed concerning habitat preference, phenology and distribution. Both species seem to be obligate tree colonisers, C. gradata primarily in the canopy stratum. Adults of C. gradata are to be found during all months of the year; T. boesenbergi exhibits an abundance peak in June, males are known to occur from May to August and females the whole year round. The distribution of both species is restricted to Europe, excluding the northern and western parts (Arctic and Atlantic climate) and the Mediterranean zone.
The spider fauna of open habitats adjacent to arable land was investigated in northern Switzerland. The three habitat types were (1) herbaceous edges of fields (Sa), (2) fallow land sowed with flowers (BB), and (3) grass borders of fields (GS). Four funnel pitfall traps (10 cm diameter) were used to catch spiders in three stripe-types in two geographical regions in two years over 5 weeks in May and June: in total 12 sets of data. Spider species typical for open habitats were dominant, mostly lycosids (6 of the 10 most active species). The results were analysed together with environmental factors using a canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) and spiders were compared with carabid beetles (Coeloptera: Carabidae). Geographical region, though not very distant, had the largest influence on both spiders and carabids. The age and type of the habitats had a stronger influence on spiders than on carabids. In spiders a larger part of the total variance was explained by the analysed factors. Finally we discuss briefly a remarkable spider species. A review of all known records of Phrurolithus nigrinus in Switzerland and Germany, together with adjacent regions in France, is given. Its phenology is indicated, its habitat discussed and the overall distribution within Europe is listed.
Results are presented with respect to faunistics and are briefly discussed. Notes concerning Bavarian faunistics are added for the following remarkable species: Arctosa perita, Centromerus capucinus, Collinsia inerrans, Haplodrassus dalmatensis, Haplodrassus minor, Meioneta foscipalpa, Talavera aperta.
Caused by the similarity with the type species Aculepeira packardi and with A. ceropegia we confirm the combination Aculepeira lapponica for the arctic araneid Aranea lapponica Holm, 1945.
Trogulus martensi CHEMINI, 1983 - bisher als Endemit des italienischen Alpenvorlandes eingestuft-wird von mehreren Fundorten aus der unmittelbaren Umgebung von Basel gemeldet (Erstnachweise Schweiz und Frankreich). Auf Differenzialmerkmale zu syntop lebenden T. closanicus (formaler Erstnachweis für Frankreich) und zu sympatrischen T. nepaeformis Populationen wird hingewiesen. Biometrische sowie autökologische und phänologische Befunde werden mitgeteilt. Die Art steht T. galasensis AVRAM , 1971 aus dem Karpatenraum nahe.
Data and a drawing of the epigyne of Phoneutria boliviensis (F.O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1897), recently recorded from Germany, are presented. The specimen was introduced with cargo (bananas) from Brazil. Characters of the single female are illustrated to facilitate identification in the future, since in the two recent revisions of the genus no drawing of the epigyne of P. boliviensis was included. Another case of introduction from 1998 of an unidentified subadult Phoneutria specimen, probably P. boliviensis too, with bananas from Ecuador is documented.
