Nine recently described or poorly known species of the thomisid genera Cozyptila Lehtinen & Marusik, 2005 and Xysticus C.L. Koch, 1835 are reported from Turkey. Five species, Cozyptila blackwalli (Simon, 1875), C. thaleri Marusik & Kovblyuk, 2005, Xysticus bacurianensis Mcheidze, 1971, X. thessalicoides Wunderlich, 1995 and X. xerodermus Strand, 1913, are new records for the Turkish spider fauna. Two species, X. bacurianensis and X. xerodermus are illustrated and a distribution map is provided for the former. A few additional records are given for Greece and the Caucasian countries, of which X. bacurianensis is new for Azerbaijan.
The taxonomic position of the poorly known species Roeweriella balcanica Kratochvíl, 1932 from Croatia is discussed. The species is illustrated and re-described on the basis of the female holotype. The genus Roeweriella Kratochvíl, 1932 (type species: R. balcanica Kratochvíl, 1932 by monotypy) is synonymized with Marpissa C.L. Koch, 1846, and therefore the new combination, Marpissa (Marpissa) balcanica (Kratochvíl, 1932) comb.nov., is proposed.
Dieses Buch (mit einem Vorwort des leider verstorbenen Jean-Pierre Maelfait) wurde von einem Kollektiv von 10 Autoren verfasst und besteht aus zwei Teilen. Der erste Teil, welchem eine Liste aller im Buch vorgestellten Gattungen und Arten vorangestellt ist, enthält eine kurze allgemeine Einleitung in die Biologie der Spinnen, mit Beschreibungen von Anatomie, Physiologie, Reproduktion und des Netzbaus (S. 1-63), sowie eine Einführung in das Sammeln von Spinnen (S. 64-69). Zusätzlich sind dort noch zwei Schlüssel zu Spinnenfamilien, einer basierend auf morphologischen Merkmalen und ein zweiter basierend auf den Netztypen, vorhanden.
The distribution of the poorly known Central Asian wolf-spider Oculicosa supermirabilis Zyuzin, 1993 is clarified, discussed and mapped on the basis of both original and literature-derived data. The species is currently known from the Turan Lowland between the 41st and 43rd degrees of latitude north; its distribution coincides with that of the grey-brown desert soil and lies within the geobotanical sub-zone of southern deserts. Both sexes are also illustrated and diagnosed.
