Abstract and Figures

In this contribution we present the Catalog of Italian spiders, produced on the base of the available scientific information regarding spider species distribution in Italy. We analysed an amount of 1124 references, resulting in a list of 1670 species and subspecies, grouped in 434 genera and 53 families. Information on spider biodiversity in Italy has increased rapidly in the last years, going from 404 species at the end of XIX century, to 1400 in the 1990s, to the current 1670. However, the knowledge on the distribution of the Italian species is far from being complete and it seems likely that there are still new species to be found or described. The Italian spider fauna is characterized by the presence of a relevant number of endemic species (342). Concerning families, Linyphiidae show the highest number of species (477) and the highest number of endemics (114). Gnaphosidae (166) and Salticidae (144) follows in terms of species richness, while Dysderidae (72) and Agelenidae (38) follows as total number of endemics. Information regarding the regional distribution revealed great unbalance between Northern and Southern Italy, with very scarce records for some regions in the South. This work is accompanied by an online version freely available online at www.araneae.it, where all information is thoroughly detailed and regularly updated by the authors. Besides spiders, we also provide, the species lists of other Arachnid orders occurring in Italy (Opiliones, Palpigradi, Pseudoscorpionida, Scorpiones, Solifugae).

Abstract
In this contribution we present the Catalog of Italian spiders, produced on the base of the available scientic information regarding spi-
der species distribution in Italy. We analysed an amount of 1124 references, resulting in a list of 1670 species and subspecies, grouped
in 434 genera and 53 families. Information on spider biodiversity in Italy has increased rapidly in the last years, going from 404 species
at the end of XIX century, to 1400 in the 1990s, to the current 1670. However, the knowledge on the distribution of the Italian species is
far from being complete and it seems likely that there are still new species to be found or described. The Italian spider fauna is character-
ized by the presence of a relevant number of endemic species (342). Concerning families, Linyphiidae show the highest number of spe-
cies (477) and the highest number of endemics (114). Gnaphosidae (166) and Salticidae (144) follows in terms of species richness, while
Dysderidae (72) and Agelenidae (38) follows as total number of endemics. Information regarding the regional distribution revealed great
unbalance between Northern and Southern Italy, with very scarce records for some regions in the South. This work is accompanied by an

Introduction
Knowledge about the diversity and the abundance of the
taxa inhabiting a certain area represents an essential basis
for any scientic studies focusing on biodiversity. In addi-
tion, this kind of information is essential for nature conser-
vation, fruition and management.
Thanks to the publication of the “Checklist delle specie
della fauna italiana” (Minelli et al. 1993-1995), Italy was
among the rst countries in Europe to organize a national-
based faunistic census. Some years later, the CKMap Pro-
ject (Ruffo & Stoch 2005) aimed to quantify and consoli-
date the knowledge of biodiversity in Italy.
Since 2010, Italy has adopted a National Strategy for
Biodiversity (Ministero dell’Ambiente 2010), a complex
and articulated plan for the preservation of the national bi-
odiversity based on three key themes: 1) biodiversity and
ecosystem services, 2) biodiversity and climate change, 3)
biodiversity and economic policies. Each theme and the
corresponding aims are pursued with the contribution de-
riving from different sector-based policies, identied in 15
working areas. The rst of these areas focuses specical-
ly on “Species, habitat and landscape” aiming to reach 14
specic objectives by 2020, including the need “to deep-
en knowledge and ll gaps on consistency, characteristics
and state of conservation of habitats, species and the eco-
system services they offer, as well as on direct and indirect
factors threatening them”. The National Strategy also aims
to promote programs and initiatives with reference to as
required by the Global Taxonomy Initiative (GTI) of the
Rio Convention on Biological Diversity.
Despite the will and the purposes declared in the Na-
tional Strategy for Biodiversity, knowledge concerning
many groups of terrestrial invertebrates is still highly in-
complete and scattered in scientic literature. In view of
that, and in the frame of the National Strategy of Biodi-
versity, the need to produce rigorous comprehensive sci-
entic works reviewing knowledge on poorly studied ani-
mal groups is essential, as well as the need to make this
information publicly available and regularly updated on
expert base.
Despite these important initiatives, knowledge on Ital-

ian biodiversity still remains far from being complete, in
particular when considering invertebrates (Ruffo & Vigna
Taglianti 2002). Among these, spiders are highly diverse
and widespread predators, capable of colonizing all terres-
trial habitats. Moreover, given their sensibility to human-
induced environmental changes and their strategic posi-
tion in the food chain, spiders are particularly important in
ecological studies.
In this work, we aim at providing an updated frame-
work of the knowledge on Italian spiders by presenting a
synthesis of all available published scientic information
regarding spiders in Italy including data on biogeography,
bibliography and taxonomy. In addition, we include a mi-
nor section providing the list of the species of other orders
of Arachnids occurring in Italy. This work is accompanied
by a web version freely available online at www.araneae.
it, where all information here presented is thoroughly de-
tailed and regularly updated by the authors.
Historical background
The history of Italian spiders formally begins with the
publication of the comprehensive catalog “Araneidi Ital-
iani” by Canestrini and Pavesi (1868), followed by its next
re-edition (Canestrini & Pavesi 1870). The work summa-
rized all previous knowledge (1599-1870) about the re-
gional distribution of Italian spiders and added numer-
ous data provided by the authors themselves. Altogether
the authors reported a list of 404 species (corresponding
to 321 currently valid species) occurring in Italy at that
time. The picture emerging depicted a great unbalance be-
tween Northern and Southern Italy, with several regions in
the South totally lacking information about spiders living
therein (Fig. 1). It goes without saying, that such unbal-
ance was mostly related to the main areas of study of Gio-
vanni Canestrini (Revò, 1835 – Padova, 1900) and Pietro
Pavesi (Pavia, 1884 – Asso, 1907), authors of the rst Cat-
alog and major Italian arachnologists at that time. Knowl-
edge on Italian spiders increased rapidly after the publica-
tion of the rst catalog, especially thanks to the follow-up
works of Canestrini and Pavesi and to the contributions
of their contemporary Italian colleagues. A plateau was
reached at the beginning of XX century, with nearly 600
species recorded for Italy.
During the XX century, several arachnologists contrib-

The Catalog of Italian spiders – Araneae.it
uted signicantly to expand the eld of arachnology in Ita-
ly. Lodovico Di Caporiacco (Udine, 1901 – Parma, 1951)
stands among others for his brilliant academic career and
his wide scientic and humanistic culture. During the rst
years of 1900 he published a great number of publications,
39 of them focused on Italian spiders, including the de-
scription of 48 new species. He studied material from all
over Italy, especially Carnia, Puglia, Emilia-Romagna,
Umbria, Veneto and Toscana. In 1940 he published a valu-
able general overview on the Italian arachnid fauna known
at that time (Di Caporiacco 1940).
Indeed, the most important Italian arachnologist was
Paolo Marcello Brignoli (Roma, 1942 - L’Aquila, 1986).
He played a major role in scientic arachnology at the in-
ternational level, with more than 200 authored publica-
tions, more than 370 new species and 25 new genera of
spiders described from all over the world. Concerning the
Italian fauna, between 1966 and 1986 he published 53 sci-
entic works and described 40 new species, 39 of them
Italian endemic. Concerning the scientic production on
Italian spiders, Brignoli deserved particular interest to
Agelenidae, Araneidae, Theridiidae, Leptonetidae and to
cave dwelling spiders (e.g., Fig. 2), the latter reviewed in a
remarkable comprehensive catalog (Brignoli 1972, 1985).
From the late 1950s to the end of the XX century, sev-
eral authors provided important contributions to the study
of Italian spiders. In particular, Pietro Alicata (Dysderi-
dae), Teresa Cantarella (Salticidae), Francesca Di Fran-
co (Gnaphosidae), Fulvio Gasparo (Dysderidae), Harald
Hansen (Germany, 1935 - Venezia, 2017) (Salticidae),
Barbara Knoach (Theridiidae), Richard Maurer (Cybae-
us and Coelotes), Carlo Pesarini (Milano, 1946 – Ferrara,
2017) (several families) Konrad Thaler (Innsbruck, 1940 –
Innsbruck, 2006) (Linyphiidae) and Paolo Tongiorgi (Pi-
sa, 1936 – Pisa, 2018) (Lycosidae).
Since the end of the 1990s to the present days, the most
important contributions to the knowledge of Italian arach-
nology were given by Francesco Ballarin, Simone Ballini,
Marco Isaia, Stefano Mammola, Paolo Pantini, Karl-Heinz
Steinberger and Alessio Trotta. We report in Table 1 the
list of the arachnologists that focused on Italian spiders
over time, with the relative number of published works
and described taxa. The increase of knowledge on Italian
spiders over time is represented in Fig. 3.
Despite the great quantity of scientic papers published
over time, only a few works reviewed the existing knowl-
edge about Italian spiders. The rst such an attempt was
made by Carlo Pesarini (Pesarini 1994), more than one
century after Canestrini & Pavesi’s rst Catalog. In his
work, the author provided a list of 1406 species (corre-
sponding to 1277 currently valid species), with schematic
information about their distribution in Italy (North, South,
Sicilia and Sardegna) (see Fig. 1). The list is introduced by
a short presentation and ends with a brief selection of bib-
liographic references on Italian spiders. A few years later
Alessio Trotta (Trotta 2005) reported a new updated list of
1534 species, supplied with a list of general references use-
ful for the study of the Italian spider fauna. Besides the na-
tional spider fauna, an important review focusing speci-
cally on cave dwelling species was published by Brignoli
in the 1980s. His “Catalogo dei ragni cavernicoli italiani”
(Brignoli 1972, 1985) summarizes an impressive collection
Fig. 2Histopona palaeolithica (Brignoli, 1971) (Agelenidae). This species, strictly endemic to Italy, was discovered in a cave of the W
Ligurian coast (near Finale Ligure, Savona province) by the great naturalist and biospelologist Augusto Vigna Taglianti, recently passed
away (1943-2019); it was later described by the prominent arachnologist Paolo Marcello Brignoli (1942-1986). Recent researches car-
ried out by the author MI in small caves of the same area allowed the discovery and description of the thus far unknown male of this ex-
tremely rare and little-known species (Mammola et al. in press). Photo by E. Biggi.

references on Italian spiders. Data referring to spiders in It-
aly are scattered in hundreds of scientic papers published
over time that we progressively collected in the frame of
this work. A portable document format (pdf) version of
most articles cited in the Catalog is stored in our personal
digital archive. For the works published before 1940, we
primarily referred to Bonnet’s Bibliographia Araneorum
(Bonnet 1955-1959), to Brignoli’s “Catalogue of the Ara-
neae described between 1940 and 1981” (Brignoli 1983)
and to Platnick’s “Advances in spider taxonomy” (Plat-
nick 1989, 1993, 1998) for later works. Concerning recent
works, we referred to the online database “World Spider
Catalog” (World Spider Catalog 2019) as main source.
Moreover, we integrated our list with additional taxonomi-
cal information deriving from scientic literature and from
an array of personal communications provided by our Ital-
ian and other European arachnologists colleagues.
Our bibliography of Italian spiders includes all scien-
tic publications referring to Italian spiders: taxonomical
and faunistic works, catalogs and checklists, ecological
works, obituaries and biographies of Italian arachnologists
etc. We also included works that are not explicitly refer-
ring to Italian spiders, but report about specimen collected
in Italy. We did not include the so-called “grey literature”
(bachelor, Master and PhD thesis, technical reports, con-
gress posters and presentations) or unpublished records.
All biospeleological works published before 1985 and
reported in Brignoli’s “Catalogo dei ragni cavernicoli ital-
iani” (Brignoli 1972, 1985) are included in the list. Con-
cerning recent biospeleological papers, we included all pa-
pers published by arachnologists. Other speleological pa-
pers published in local journals reporting data on spiders
are being progressively veried and integrated in the list.
As a general rule, we only included data veried by
the authors of the publication. However, in a few cases
for example recapitulatory catalogs we reported all species
therein included. At the time this paper is being written,
the process of inclusion of the remaining available papers
is still in progress.
The current version of the Catalog encompasses 1124
references. We analysed nearly 90% of them and included
the data therein contained in the relational database system
of Araneae.it (Table 2).
The Catalog and its web version “Araneae.it”
The Catalog is freely available online at www.araneae.it,
where the information contained in the associated relation-
al database can be explored. The “Browse Araneae” func-
tion (www.araneae.it/browse.php) allows searches by taxa
(family, genus or species level) or by regional distribution.
The taxonomic list (www.araneae.it/taxonomic-list.php)
reports the list of the families, the genera and the species
of spiders currently recorded in Italy. The list is presented
in alphabetical order to allow faster and easier use. No-
menclature is regularly updated according to current ver-
sion of The World Spider Catalog. We excluded nomina
of data on spiders occurring in Italian caves, supplied with
the complete list of the bibliographic sources used therein.
Over time, several publications synthetized knowledge
on spider distribution at the regional level. Starting from
Alto Adige (Noatscher 1996), a number of regional spi-
der checklists were published over time: Valle d’Aosta
(Isaia 2005; Paschetta et al. 2016), Piemonte (Isaia et al.
2007), Lombardia (Isaia et al. 2007; Pantini et al. 2016),
Veneto (Ballarin et al. 2011), Calabria (Pantini & Mazzo-
leni 2018) and Sardegna (Pantini et al. 2013).

dubia and species inquirendae. Changes and updates are
implemented regularly by the authors.
In addition to general taxonomical information, for
each species included in the list we reported:
the presence of the species in Mainland Italy (It),
Sardegna (Sa) and Sicilia (Si). The archipelagos and
the minor islands are not specied. In such cases, we
refer to the region of administrative competence (e.g.
Toscana for Isola d’Elba);
restricted distribution ranges: we labelled with “En-
demic Italian”, the species whose range is entirely
included within the national borders. “Endemic” in-
dicates species with restricted range whose distribu-
tion encompasses Italy and one or more neighbouring
countries (i.e. border areas);
information about the distribution of each species at
the level of Italian Province (we refer to 110 Italian
Provinces, grouped in 20 Regions). Such information
is available for each species by clicking on the relative
Info” link;
other information concerning the distribution are avail-
able by clicking on the “More details” link. We aim at
increasing the resolution of the data in the near future, in
particular concerning the distribution of endemic species;
whenever available, a small camera indicates the avail-
ability of photos of the species;
remarks referring to: 1) the type locality and the distri-
bution of endemic species, 2) species cited in out-of-
date works whose presence in Italy needs to be veri-
ed, 3) alien species, 4) species or group of species of
difcult identication in relation to problematic taxo-
nomical issues.
In order to avoid the inclusion of doubtful species (in-
correctly reported for Italy due to misidentications or
oversights), we omitted several taxa. The list of such data
along with the reasons for their exclusion, is reported in
the “Omitted taxa” section (www.araneae.it/omitted-taxa.
php). In particular, we excluded nomina dubia, species in-
quirendae, misidentied species according to literature or
to our direct check, and species whose occurrence in Italy
is not plausible.

Results
To date (May 2019), an amount of 49876 records referring
to 1670 taxa of specic or sub-specic range are included
in the Catalog. Data refer to 1659 species, 435 genera and
53 families. Moreover, 22 subspecies, referring to 11 spe-
cies are also included. Omitted taxa pertain more than 500
records, corresponding to 122 species.
The families with highest number of records were Lin-
yphiidae (7908) and Salticidae (6820), followed by Ara-
neidae (4537) and Lycosidae (4035) (Fig. 4). The high-
est number of species was found in Linyphiidae (477) and
Gnaphosidae (166), followed by Salticidae (144), Theri-
diidae (114) and Lycosidae (105 species) (Tab. 3). Knowl-
edge about the distribution of each species was extremely
uneven, with most species known on a single or few re-
cords (Fig. 5).
The worldwide distribution of the Italian species is rep-
resented in Fig. 6, showing a large proportion of Palearctic
and European species, followed by a remarkable percent-
age of Endemic (21%) and Mediterranean (14%) species.
Less than 1% of the total number of species pertains alien
species.
Linyphiidae and Dysderidae show the highest number
of endemic species (see Table 3) with 116 endemics out
of 477 species (24%) and 72 out of 83 (87%), respective-
ly. Together, these two families represent more than 50%
of the total endemic species of spiders currently recorded
in in Italy. Agelenidae, Gnaphosidae and Nemesiidae fol-
lows, with 38 out of 65 (58%), 23 out of 166 (14%) and 11
out of 21 (52%) endemic species, respectively (Tab. 3).
The areas of endemism showing the highest species
richness are the Alps and the Apennines (Alpine and Al-
pine-Apenninic species: 65% of the total endemics) fol-
lowed by the Tyrrhenian basin (9%), Sardegna (12%), and
Sicilia (6%) (Table 4, Fig. 7).
A small fraction of the Italian spider diversity is repre-
sented by alien species (1%, 21 species). More than oth-
ers, these species deserve particular attention, due to the
ecological implications of the introduction of alien species
in a territory. Some of them, like the North American lin-
yphiids Erigone autumnalis Emerton, 1882 and Mermes-
sus trilobatus (Emerton, 1882) were introduced in Italy re-
cently (Pesarini 1996, Zingerle 1997) and now are com-
monly found throughout the northern Italian regions. The
Nearctic linyphiid Mermessus denticulatus (Banks, 1898)
was recently found in a greenhouse in the area of Savona
(Trotta 2012) and the hahniid Cicurina japonica (Simon,
1886), originally from Japan and Korea, was recorded in
Lombardia in 2008 (Pantini & Isaia 2008). The cosmopol-
itan araneid Argiope trifasciata (Forsskål, 1775) was re-
corded in Italy and for the rst time in Europe in 2011 by
Di Pompeo et al. (2011) while the South-Iberian endemic
macrothelid Macrothele calpeiana (Walckenaer 1805) re-

Pantini & Isaia
cently entered in Italy via the trade of ornamental olive
trees (Pantini & Isaia 2008, 2010). The theridiid Steatoda
nobilis (Thorell, 1875), originally from Madeira and Ca-
nary Islands is recorded in Italy for a number of southern
Italian regions and Sardegna (Kulczycki et al. 2012). The
nesticid Nesticodes rupes (Lucas, 1846) is probably one
of the older record of alien species in Italy, recorded at the
beginning of the XX century in the greenhouses of the bo-
tanical garden of Pavia (Mariani 1900, 1901).
The regional distribution of spider species in Italy ap-
pears very uneven, attesting a strong unbalance in the lev-
el of knowledge within the 20 Italian administrative re-
gions (Fig. 1, Table 5). In general, the northern regions
are characterized by relatively high numbers of species re-
cords compared to the southern ones. Concerning endem-
ics, Piemonte, Sardegna, Lombardia, Toscana and Tren-
tino stands among the richest regions, with more than 50
endemic species recorded therein (Table 5).
Compared to other countries in Europe (data issued
from Nentwig et al. 2019), the distribution of species per
family appears very similar to France and, to a certain
extent, to the Iberian Peninsula and to Central European
countries, sharing the rst ve dominant families (Linyph-
iidae, Gnaphosidae, Salticidae, Theridiidae and Lycosi-
dae). The family distribution is remarkably different in
Greece, with Salticids, Gnaphosidae, Theridiidae and Ly-
cosidae as the four dominant families and in Turkey, with
Gnaphosidae, Linyphiidae, Salticidae and Thomisidae as
the four most representative families (Fig. 8).

CHECKLIST OF THE ITALIAN SPIDERS
Here follows the checklist of the Italian spider species pre-
sented in alphabetical order (updated May 2019), with an
indication of the general distribution in Mainland Italy
(It), Sardegna (Sa) and Sicilia (Si). An “E” indicates en-
demic species, “EI” indicates those species whose distri-
bution entirely falls within the Italian territory. For details
concerning data sources, regional distribution, bibliogra-
phy, other information and future updates, refer to the on-
line free version of this work at www.araneae.it.

ADDENDA
CHECKLISTS OF OTHER ORDERS OF ARACHNIDS
OCCURRING IN ITALY
We here provide the lists of the species of Opiliones, Pal-
pigradi, Scorpiones and Solifugae occurring in Italy (up-
date May 2019), including general information about their
distribution in Mainland Italy, Sardegna and Sicily. An
“E” indicates endemic species, “EI” indicates those spe-
cies whose distribution entirely falls within the Italian
territory. The lists are accompanied by an online version
available at www.araneae.it/other-arachnids.php, which is
regularly updated by the authors. Unlike spiders, no fur-
ther detailed information about biogeography, bibliogra-
phy and taxonomy is given in the online version.
The list of Pseudoscorpionida presented in the online
version is issued from Gardini (2000), courtesy of the jour-
nal Fragmenta entomologica.
OPILIONES
The list was compiled thanks to the supervision and the
updates of Luca Cavigioli, Emmanuel Delfosse, Christoph
Muster and Axel Schonhofer. We list the occurrence of
134 species of Opiliones in Italy, grouped in 44 genera
and 10 families. Endemic species (48) represent 35% of
the total species.

... New family record for the Maltese Islands. A typically Mediterranean species, also found in nearby Sicily (Pantini & Isaia 2019). Like most of its congeners, A. sabina inhabits dense vegetation, though there is no preference for a particular vegetation type, and gravid females may leave foliage and reside under stones instead (Urones et al. 1995). ...
... Remarks. Although a new record for the Maltese Islands, its presence here is unsurprising as this species is extremely widespread throughout the Mediterranean and also found in nearby Sicily (World Spider Catalog 2024, Pantini & Isaia 2019). Hypsosinga albovittata constructs its circular webs in low vegetation relatively close to the ground in insolated habitats (Roberts 1995). ...
... Remarks. A spider found in most circum-Mediterranean countries in both South Europe and North Africa, the presence of A. trifasciata in Malta is unsurprising, and it is also found in nearby Sicily (Pantini & Isaia 2019). It appears to be relatively widespread and euryecious in Malta, and becomes the second species of its genus known from here, after A. cinc ta (L. ...

The arachnid fauna of the Maltese Islands has not yet been adequately investigated. In the present work, from a total of 117 species sampled, 36 taxa represent newly recorded spider species (Araneae) for Malta, with an additional new record of a harvestman (Opiliones). These new records include three new spider families and one new harvestman family for the Maltese archipelago: Anyphaenidae Bertkau, 1878, Mimetidae Simon, 1881, Oxyopidae Thorell, 1869 and Sclerosomatidae Simon, 1879; as well as two species which are recorded from Europe for the first time: Acartauchenius insigniceps (Simon, 1894) and Zelotes poecilochroaeformis Denis, 1937. Ecological, distributional, biogeographical and taxonomic notes are provided for the newly recorded species.
... The spiders of the genus Zoropsis Simon, 1878 (family Zoropsidae) generally show a circum-Mediterranean distribution, although a number of species can also be found in the Canary Islands, China, the Middle East and Eurasia (Natural History Museum Bern, 2023). Zoropsis spinimanawhich is now called 'Nosferatu-Spinne' in Germany due to its prominent carapace markings that resemble the face of the main character of the German movie Nosferatu (Breitling et al., 2020) is known from Italy (Pantini and Isaia, 2019), Croatia (Thaler and Knoflach, 1998), France (Simon, 1914), and the Iberian Peninsula (Branco et al., 2019). The first record of Z. spinimana north of the Alps dates back to a sighting in Basel in 1994 (Hänggi, 2003). ...

In Germany, Zoropsis spinimana (Dufour, 1820) is an introduced, likely synanthropic spider species. Here, we report the results of a nationwide mapping appeal conducted by the citizen science platform NABUnaturgucker.de, used to assemble live distributional data for the species in Germany. With the help of media interest in this species, we gathered a valuable dataset and a large image gallery of the species. In just five weeks, we received more than 15,000 records, representing a 2.3-fold increase in occupied territory compared to previous knowledge. By analyzing the data in detail, we obtained novel insights into the ecology and eco-geography of Z. spinimana in Germany, including information on prey, coloration, potential predators, altitudinal distribution and temporal appearance, along with two cases of accidental human translocation.

Pardosa wagleri a été observée au sein d'une carrière de granulats sans présence de zone humide à proximité. Pour cette espèce rare et inféodée aux grèves de cours d'eau, cet habitat de substitution pourrait constituer une piste d'aménagement dans un but conservatoire. Note on a particular habitat of Pardosa wagleri (Hahn, 1822) and its conservation interest Abstract.-Pardosa wagleri was observed in a gravel quarry with no wetlands nearby. For this rare species, which is dependent on watercourse strikes, this alternative habitat could constitute a development trail for conservation purposes.

*Parva Naturalia* ENG The current paper aims to provide the first and preliminary checklist of harvestmen (Arachnida, Opiliones) from the province of Piacenza. Through 13 sight samplings, mainly conducted at night, 45 specimens belonging to 5 species were collected: Nelima sempronii (Szalay, 1951), Odiellus spinosus (Bosc, 1792), Opilio canestrinii (Thorell, 1876), Opilio saxatilis (C.L. Koch, 1839) and Phalangium opilio (Linnaeus, 1761). The collected species are widely distributed in Europe and synanthropic, in line with the sampling environments, often located near human artefacts or inhabited centres. In addition, two cases of harvestmen found in spider webs (Arachnida, Araneae) are highlighted, specifically Holocnemus pluchei and the alien species Parasteatoda tepidariorum. Finally, dichotomous keys useful for recognizing the collected species, to date, in the province of Piacenza are reported. ITA Il presente lavoro si prefigge di stilare la prima e preliminare checklist degli opilioni (Arachnida, Opiliones) della provincia di Piacenza.

Background Urbanisation is a rapidly growing global phenomenon leading to habitat destruction, fragmentation and degradation. However, urban areas can offer opportunities for conservation, particularly through the presence of green spaces which can even provide important habitats for imperilled species. Spiders, which play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, include many species that can successfully exploit urban environments. Placed in the middle of the Mediterranean global biodiversity hotspot, Italy possesses an exceptionally rich spider fauna, yet comprehensive data on urban spider communities are still limited. More information on urban spiders in Italy would be extremely beneficial to support conservation efforts, especially in central and southern Italy, where knowledge on the spider fauna is largely incomplete. New information The current study focused on the spider diversity of a large protected area (Appia Antica Regional Park) in urban Rome, Italy. A total of 120 spider species belonging to 83 genera and 28 families were identified, with 70 species being new records to the Province of Rome, 39 to the Latium Region and two (Pelecopsis digitulus Bosmans & Abrous, 1992 and Palliduphantes arenicola (Denis, 1964)) to Italy. Forty-one species were recorded during autumn/winter sampling and 107 in spring/summer. The spider fauna recorded from the study area included about 37% of the total spider fauna known from the Province of Rome, 28% of that of the Latium Region and 7% of the entire Italian territory. The most represented families in terms of species richness were Gnaphosidae and Linyphiidae, which accounted for more than 40% of the sampled fauna. Lycosidae were the most abundant family (29% of captured individuals), followed by Zodariidae (16% of captured individuals), Linyphiidae (13% of captured individuals) and Gnaphosidae (7.5% of captured individuals). From a biogeographical point of view, most of the collected species belonged to chorotypes that extend for large areas across Europe and the Mediterranean. The research highlights the role of urban green spaces as refuges for spiders and the importance of arachnological research in urban areas as sources of information on spider biodiversity at larger scales.

ABSTRACT – New data concerning spiders in Lombardy (Arachnida, Araneae). Ten years on from the publication of the catalogue of Lombard spiders, our knowledge of the araneofauna of the region has been expanded thanks to previously unpublished books and other material. New data has emerged regarding 66 species belonging to 20 families not included in the previous catalogue. Overall, 735 species of spiders belonging to 44 families have been identified as present in Lombardy. Trichoncus auritus (L. Koch, 1869) has been reported for the first time in Italy, whilst 36 species have been reported for the first time in the region thanks to unpublished material.

We provide the regional catalogue of the spider species of Aosta Valley (NW Italy, Graian and Pennine Alps) based on literature records and original material collected from 2011 to 2013 in the frame of a collaboration project between the University of Torino and the Regional Museum of Natural Sciences of Aosta Valley. The revision of 1162 literature records scattered in 37 papers published between 1878 and 2015 provided a list of 382 species potentially occurring in this region. On the base of taxonomical and faunistic arguments discussed in the text, we here revise the literature and exclude 74 species from the list, of which seven of unlikely occurrence and 67 in need of verification. The original data here presented raise the total number of species occurring in this region to 384, grouped in 182 genera and 36 families. For each species reported in the catalogue, we provide new collection data, previous literature records, the known distribution and the habitat in which they occurred. Compared with other northern Italian regions and considering its extent, Aosta Valley presents a moderately high number of species, hosting 26% of the species recorded in Italy. In terms of species richness, linyphiids dominate with 99 species (26%), followed by gnaphosids (50 species, 13%), lycosids (45 species, 11%) and salticids (30 species, 7%). Wetlands host cumulatively the highest number of species, followed by shrublands, broadleaved forests and riparian habitats. Regarding chorotypes, most of the species have Palearctic distribution, followed by European and Holarctic species. Alpine endemic species represents 5% of the total. © Publications scientifiques du Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris.

The spider genus Histopona Thorell, 1869 (Araneae: Agelenidae) includes several species that exhibit a preference for subterranean conditions, being occasionally or exclusively found in caves, crevices and similar habitats. Within the genus, the species displaying the highest level of subterranean adaptation is possibly H. palaeolithica (Brignoli, 1971). This species was described based on a female collected in 1967 in a cave on the Western Ligurian shore (Italy), but had never been recorded thereafter. Our recent biospeleological surveys at the type locality failed to recover the species, possibly because the cave has been impacted by the expansion works of a large quarry. However, we found a new population in a cave opening a few hundred meters away from the type locality. As a result of this finding, we provide the first description of the male, as well as a re-description of the female. We also describe a new species of Histopona based on a female specimen that was collected in a cave in Montenegro, and was previously attributed to H. palaeolithica. In light of the rarity of these specialized stenoendemic species, we provide general information on their ecology and conservation status, as well as information useful for assessing their extinction risk based on International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) guidelines.
