Eight species of Haplodrassus are recorded from Crimea: Haplodrassus bohemicus Miller & Buchar, 1977; Haplodrassus dalmatensis (L. Koch, 1866); Haplodrassus isaevi Ponomarev & Tsvetkov, 2006; Haplodrassus minor (O. P.-Cambridge, 1879); Haplodrassus kulczynskii Lohmander, 1942; Haplodrassus pseudosignifer Marusik, Hippa & Koponen, 1996; Haplodrassus signifer (C.L. Koch, 1839) and Haplodrassus umbratilis (L. Koch, 1866). The occurrence of Haplodrassus cognatus (Westring, 1861) in Crimea has not been confirmed. Haplodrassus bohemicus is a new species record for the Crimean fauna. Haplodrassus pseudosignifer is a new species record for Crimea and Ukraine as a whole, with Crimea as the westernmost point of its distribution range. Haplodrassus invalidus is recorded for the first time for the fauna of Azerbaijan, Caucasus and the former Soviet Union. Azerbaijan is the easternmost point of its known distribution range. All Crimean Haplodrassus species have only one peak of activity of adult specimens during the year. In Crimea we found syntopically two closely related species Haplodrassus dalmatensis and Haplodrassus isaevi in two localities (Sudak Distr., 10 km W Sudak, Mezhdurechie Vill., steppe; and Feodosiya Distr., Karadag Nature Reserve, steppes). These species differ in their phenology. The reproductive period of Haplodrassus dalmatensis isin May-July, and that of Haplodrassus isaevi occurs is in October-December. These phenological differences probably represent an additional mechanism of reproductive isolation between the two species. Diagnostic drawings are provided for all mentioned species as well as for Haplodrassus deserticola Schmidt & Krause, 1996 and Haplodrassus pugnans (Simon, 1880).
Recently we found two species of Hahnia new to Crimea. The main purpose of the present work is to summarize original and literature-derived data on the Crimean Hahnia and to illustrate all the recorded species. In addition, we have provided the data for their distribution, spatial distribution and phenology. Drawings were made with a grid method, using both reflecting-and transmitted-light microscopes MBS-9 and Lomo Biolam P-14. Illustrations of epigynes were made after maceration in KOH 20% water solution. The morphological terminology was based on Harm (1966) and Zhang et al. (2011) with additions: Palp: B-tegular brush ("comb"); C-conductor; Cfcymbial furrow; E-embolus; Pa-patellar apophysis; RTA-retrolateral tibial apophysis; T-tegulum; To-tegular outgrowth.
Two species of Rhysodromus are recorded from the Crimea: R. fallax (Sundevall, 1833) and R. histrio (Latreille, 1819). R. fallax is reported for the Crimean fauna for the first time. Diagnostic drawings, distribution, spatial distribution and phenology for both species in the Crimea are provided. The validity and composition of the genus Rhysodromus are discussed. Here we suggest 24 new combinations: Rhy
The validity of the genus Pulchellodromus Wunderlich, 2012 is discussed. A new combination is established: Pulchellodromus mainlingensis (Hu et Li, 1987) comb.n., ex Philodromus. Two species of Pulchellodromus are recorded from the Crimea for the first time: P. medius (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872) and P. ruficapillus (Simon, 1885). The record of P. medius from the Crimea lies at the north-easternmost limit of the known species range. Both species are provided with diagnostic drawings, notes on their distribution, habitat preferences and phenology in the Crimea. РЕЗЮМЕ. Обсуждается валидность рода Pulchellodromus Wunderlich, 2012. Установлена новая комбинация: Pulchellodromus mainlingensis (Hu et Li, 1987) comb.n., ex Philodromus. Впервые в Крыму зарегистрированы 2 вида рода Pulchellodromus: P. medius (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872) и P. ruficapillus (Simon, 1885). Находка P. medius в Крымусамая северо-восточная точка его известного ареала. Для обоих видов приводятся диагностические рисунки, географическое распространение, биотопическая приуроченность в Крыму и фенология.
Redescriptions of two closely related species Agelena orientalis C.L. Koch, 1837 and A. labyrinthica (Clerck, 1757) are provided, based on specimens from Crimea, continental Ukraine and Abkhazia (West Caucasus). Crimea is supposed to be the northernmost point of A. orientalis distribution. Comparative illustrations, diagnoses, spatial distribution, seasonal dynamics of activity for both species are presented. ÐÅÇÞÌÅ.
