A list of spiders is provided (Arachnida: Araneae), collected in April 2019 in the south-west of Turkey (Antalya Province, Kemer district). In total 95 species from 28 families have been recorded. Sintula karineae spec. nov. is described based on female specimens.
Brigittea innocens (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872), a relatively unknown and poorly documented species, is redescribed. Besides the newly described member of Sintula, further eight species are new for the fauna of Turkey: Canariphantes nanus (Kulczyński, 1898), Cyclosa algerica Simon, 1885, Hogna effera (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872), Lepthyphantes magnesiae Brignoli, 1979, Oecobius navus Blackwall, 1859, Phrurolithus azarkinae Zamani & Marusik, 2020, Pseudeuophrys rhodiensis Schäfer, 2018 and Theridion helena Wunderlich, 2011. One female of Ozyptila Simon, 1864 (Araneae: Thomisidae) is described and illustrated and possibly represents the unknown female of O. spirembola Wunderlich, 1995, but no accompanying male was collected. Moreover, the findings of several other species already known from Turkey represent important records for the local fauna: Berinda cooki Logunov, 2012, Harpactea sturanyi (Nosek, 1905), Heriaeus setiger (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872), Improphantes turok Tanasevitch, 2011, Mermessus denticulatus (Banks, 1898), Nomisia orientalis Dalmas, 1921, Philodromus femurostriatus Muster, 2009, Tegenaria faniapollinis Brignoli, 1978, Tegenaria vankeerorum Bolzern, Burckhardt & Hänggi, 2013 and Zaitunia kunti Zonstein & Marusik, 2016.

Good environmental management needs evidence-based conservation measures, and those measures need both faunistical and ecological information. Following this path, for the first time in Serbia, a faunistical research of spiders at Subotica Sandland was organised in 2014 as a base for ecological arguments in landscape management of the area. The spiders were collected at ten different habitats on sandy soil, in the period from 27th April till 30th October by pitfall trapping and sweep netting. A total of 16304 adult and 7246 juvenile individuals were captured, and 225 species from 27 families were determined. Thirty species represent new records for Serbia. Diversity and species compositions provided an insight into the quality of the habitats and the influence of the conservation and development measures that were already applied. The main endangerment factors are outlined. Conclusions and suggestions according to the analysis of the spider fauna, are mostly in correlation with those made earlier based on other groups of organisms. Within the scope of nature protection, wet and sandy meadows are prioritised over the woods. For future monitoring, two flagship and umbrella species are suggested: Argiope lobata (Pallas, 1772) for the sandy area and Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck, 1757) for the wetlands.

A collection of the permanent slides containing fragments of dictynid spiders (stored in canadian balsam), deposited at the Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Aquatic Ecology, Perm State University, is described. The basis of a collection comprises series of slides prepared by D.E. Kharitonov during the first half of ХХ century. Totally, 61 slides contain the body parts of 62 spider specimens collected from various regions of Russia (50 specimens), Azerbaijan (2 specimens), Georgia (2 specimens), Ukraine (4 specimens) and Uzbekistan (4 specimens). Overall, 15 species were revealed on the slides, with one (female Lathys sp. from Altai), uncertain identity. The collection examined contain a holotype and a paratype of Kharitonovia uzbekistanica (Charitonov, 1946). The key characters for ten species were illustrated with color and black-and-white photographs: Archaeodictyna minutissima (Miller, 1958) (male palpa), Argenna subnigra (O.P.-Cambridge, 1861) (epigyne), Dictyna arundinacea (Linnaeus, 1758) (epigyne), D. ottoi Marusik et Koponen, 2017 (epigyne), D. pusilla Thorell, 1856 (male palpa, epigyne), D. uncinata Thorell, 1856 (male palpa, epigyne), Dictynomorpha strandi Spassky, 1939 (epigyne), Emblyna brevidens (Kulczyński, 1897) (male palpa, epigyne), E. mitis (Thorell, 1875) (male palpa, epigyne) and Lathys sp. (epigyne). The misidentification of Dictyna armata Thorell, 1875 for Georgia, suggested by Marusik and Koponen (2017), has been proven. The record of D. armata by Kulczyński (1895) actually refers to the closely related species D. ottoi. Emblyna brevidens (Kulczyński, 1897) was recorded for the Urals fauna for the first time. Some earlier misidentifications have been corrected. Such include: all records of Emblyna annulipes (Blackwall, 1846) for the Urals and the CisUrals in fact belong to E. mitis; all Ural records of Lathys humilis (Blackwall, 1855) are erroneous and in fact belong to L. heterophthalma Kulczyński, 1891; the record of the D. pusilla for the Chelyabinsk Region by Azheganova (1968: Figures 74-75) in fact belong to E. brevidens. For dictynid females, three new terms are proposed for description of parts of the copulatory (insemination) ducts: the proximal part (pCD) – the section immediately adjacent to the receptacule; the distal part (dCD) – the section opening outward and serving for the penetration of the male embolus; the median part (mCD) – the section located between dCD and pCD. Presence of these parts, as well as their form and location are vary significantly in different dictinid’s genera. These features allow to specify and formalize the diagnoses for genera and groups of species.
... The common wall spider, Brigittea civica (Lucas, 1850) is not medically or really economically important, but is known to pollute the faces of buildings (Billaudelle 1957, Hertel 1968). This spider belongs to the family Dictynidae and was reclassified from the genus Dictyna recently (Marusik et al., 2015;World Spider Catalogue, 2017). Females reach a size of 3-3.5 mm, males are smaller, 2.5-3 mm. ...
This study is focused on distribution of the spider Brigittea civica (Lucas, 1850). It is probably a non‑native species in the Czech Republic, which occurs synanthropically in central European conditions. It is well adapted to coexistence with humans, and since there is no natural enemy, it may freely redistribute. The aim of this study was to supplement the knowledge of distribution of this species in South Moravia. The present occurrence data were recorded from a total of 92 towns and villages via observing typical cobwebs. In 86 cases, the incidence was observed, in only six cases, there was not found even a single cobweb of the spider. Based on our records, we can suggest that B. civica is much more common than was previously mapped and the presence of this species in the Czech Republic was underestimated.
... The genus Dictynomorpha was originally described as monotypic, with the generotype being Dictynomorpha strandi Spassky, 1939 from Kyrgyzstan. The latest taxonomic revision of the genus was conducted by Marusik et al. [2015], who argued that the genus would contain two species: D. strandi and D. daemons Marusik, Esyunin et Tuneva, 2015. Although Lehtinen [1967] treated Dictynomorpha and Nigma as independent genera in his monograph, he also doubted whether they better be "considered the subgenera of Ajmonia". ...

A new genus and two poorly known species of the Dictynidae from Central Asia are (re)described. Dictyna uzbekistanica Charitonov, 1946, hitherto known from the holotype female from Uzbekistan, is redescribed and illustrated on the basis of the holotype and new material from Iran; it is transferred to a newly erected monotypic genus Kharitonovia gen.n. The widespread Central Asian "Nigma" laeta (Spassky, 1952) known from Tajikistan, western Azerbaijan and Iran is redescribed and illustrated on the basis of newly collected material from Iran. Dictyna uzbekistanica vittata Charitonov, 1946 syn.n. is synonymized with K. uzbekistanica (Charitonov, 1946). Four species of the genus Nigma Lehtinen, 1967 are shown to be treated as insertae sedis: "Nigma" conducens (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1876) (Egypt), "Nigma" laeta (Spassky, 1952) (Central Asia), "Nigma" linsdalei (Chamberlin et Gertsch, 1958) (California), and "Nigma" longipes (Berland, 1914) (Kenya).

A new species Dictyna sinuata sp.n. is described from the steppe zone of Orenburg Area, Russia. This species belongs to the arundinacea
species group and is closely related to the North American D. bostoniensis Emerton, 1888, from which it can readily be distinguished by the shape of conductor, the smaller body size, and the body coloration. New combinations are proposed for five species names (all ex. Dictyna): Nigma albida (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1885) comb.n., Sudesna flavipes (Hu, 2001) comb.n., Bannaella lhasana (Hu, 2001) comb.n., Nigma nangquianensis (Hu, 2001) comb.n. and Brigittea varians (Spassky, 1952) comb.n. Dictyna xinjiangensis Song, Wang et Yang, 1985, syn.n., is synonymized with Brigittea varians (Spassky, 1952). The earlier synonymy is confirmed: Dictyna felis Bösenberg et Strand, 1906 = Dictyna paitaensis Schenkel, 1953 syn.rev. Four species of Dictyna known from the females are to be treated as insertae sedis: “Dictyna” linzhiensis Hu, 2001, “Dictyna” namulinensis Hu, 2001, “Dictyna” tristis Spassky, 1952 and “Dictyna” zhangmuensis Hu, 2001
The present study contains information about a small number of spiders collected between 2018 and 2023. The spiders were determined to species level and partially assisted by genetic barcoding of the COI gene. Among the resulting 33 species, 23 species and three genera, are recorded from Georgia for the first time, of which 11 are new records for the entire Caucasus. Of the 26 barcoded specimens representing 18 species, six species ( Agroeca maculata L. Koch, 1879; Aituaria eriashvilii (Marusik, 1987); Evippa sjostedti Schenkel, 1936; Lathys cf. lehtineni Kovblyuk, Kastrygina & Omelko, 2014; Zelotes segrex (Simon, 1878); Lathys lehtineni Kovblyuk, Kastrygina & Omelko, 2014; Maculoncus obscurus Tanasevitch, Ponomarev & Chumachenko, 2016) are barcoded for the first time. In addition, 12 new regional records for 10 species are provided. The collecting information for each record is provided in detail, together with a discussion of the barcoding results and remarks, supported by 48 diagnostic drawings of 22 first-recorded species. A potential synonymy of Pelecopsis odontophora (Kulczyński, 1895) with P. parallela (Wider, 1834) and Bassaniodes loeffleri (Roewer, 1955) with B. pseudorectilineus (Wunderlich, 1995) is discussed.
