Specimens of T. vulgaris were recently introduced in Germany with cricket boxes from southern United States. The species has been sent within Germany with post packages to different pet dealers. These samples represent probably the first confirmed records of T. vulgaris for Germany. Further observation could show, whether the populations are stabile in synanthropic habitats, especially inside buildings. Female genitalia are illustrated. One structure is recognized as a glandular part of the spermathecae. Terminology of female genitalia is given in comparison of terms used in the past by different authors.
Es wird ein Fall einer Gnaphoside (Scotophaeus scutulatus) geschildert, bei dem ein adultes Weibchen ein ebenfalls adultes Weibchen von Tegenaria atrica in deren Netz überwältigt. Ein Netzeindring-Verhalten ist von 4 weiteren Gnaphosiden-Arten bekannt (Poecilochroa senilis, Poecilochroa pugnax, Scotophaeus blackwalli, Taieria erebus), ein araneophages Verhalten ebenfalls bei 4 Arten (Drassodes lapidosus, Poecilochroa senilis (auspex), Scotophaeus scutulatus, Taieria erebus). Die Frage, ob ein Netzeindring-Verhalten bzw. ein araneophages Verhalten ein typischer Bestandteil des Verhaltensrepertoires epigäisch lebender Gnaphosiden ist, kann erst nach weiteren Beobachtungen und Versuchen beantwortet werden.
The cave spider Nesticus eremita is recorded in Mainz and Mannheim in the sewerage. It seems that this species has a wider distribution as suggested before. It is supposed that the species originally distributed in the southern alps respectively in southern Europe, was introduced in the last hundred years, whereby the Rhine river (driftwod, riparian habitats) is suggested besides the introduction by man as one possible way of introducing. During examining individuals of N. eremita and N. cellulanus it was found, that the position of the thrichobothrium is not useful for distinguishing these species, but the genital characters are.
