Chthonius heterodactylus Tömösváry, 1882 is recorded for the first time from the Czech Republic (Hranická chasm). The occurence of this Carpathian species in Central Europe is discussed and the positions of the type localities are corrected.
N. bidentatum Roewer, 1914 was found at two places in Germany: first on the island “Harriersand” in the Weser river (Lower Saxony), second on the banks of the river Elbe in the Elbsandsteingebirge (Saxony). Adjacent to the latter locality an occurrence in the Czech Republic could be located close to the German/Czech border in the floodplain of the river Elbe as well. These records are the first for Germany and the Czech Republic. They enlarge the distribution area of N. bidentatum remarkably in both a northern and a western direction. The two populations show conspicuous differences in the form of the male cheliceral apophysis, which assigns them to the subspecies bidentatum Roewer, 1914 (in Lower Saxony) and sparsum Gruber & Martens, 1968 (in Saxony and the Czech Republik respectively). Differences, morphological characters and variability of the populations are illustrated. Relationships, abundance, ecology and provenance are discussed. N. dentigerum Canestrini, 1873 is recorded in Saxony for the first time. New records of N. triste C. L. Koch, 1835 and N. lugubre (Müller, 1776) are given.
The first record of the Mediterranean spider Zelotes tenuis (L. Koch, 1866) in Austria (Burgenland, Leithaprodersdorf ) was made in a small meadow strip which is situated between a moist ditch and a small grassy road verge. The site is partly shaded by adjacent trees and shrubs. Notes are given on the records, zoogeography and ecology of Z. tenuis.
Die Radnetzspinne Cyclosa oculata (Walckenaer, 1802) wurde an elf Orten in der Nordwestschweiz nachgewiesen. Alle Fundorte lagen in Buntbrachen mit relativ hohem Anteil abgestorbener Vegetation vom Vorjahr, relativ niedriger Vegetationshöhe und geringem Anteil von Gräsern an der Vegetation. C. oculata baute ihr kleines Radnetz in Bodennähe, tief in der Vegetation. Unter den ecribellaten Radnetzspinnen Mitteleuropas ist C. oculata einzigartig, da sie manchmal ein rudimentäres Netze baut und verwendet, da sie ihre Kokons in das Netz einbaut, und da sie ein dauerhaftes Detritus-Stabiliment baut. Aufgrund unserer Beobachtungen nehmen wir an, dass das Stabiliment C. oculata zur Tarnung dient.
