“…Later Logunov (1996) adopted this term for the ducts of the glandular heads, which may be independent of the intromittent orifice (Jäger 2002;Muster and Thaler 2003). Other related terms are 'copulatory tubes' (Dondale and Redner 1976; and previous papers), 'copulatory ducts' (Foelix 1982;Muster and Thaler 2004;Muster et al 2007), 'intromittent canal' (Ono 1988), 'insemination duct' (Szita and Logunov 2008). In my opinion, the confusion is caused by the fact that the insemination duct and the duct from the glandular heads can be incorporated in a single canal in some taxa, but they can be independent in others.…”

“…Simon (1932) used tibial spination as a character for intrageneric classification in Philodromus. Most subsequent authors regarded leg spination as highly variable and of little value for the clarification of relationships within Philodromidae; for example, Dondale and Redner (1976) pay little attention to spination patterns in their review of American Philodromus species-groups. The current study revealed that, despite frequent variation in individual characters, leg spination patterns as a whole are highly characteristic for superspecific taxa within the Philodromidae and often the most reliable character for the classification of species with highly derived genitalia in the system.…”

“…The receptacula of most philodromid spiders have prominent appendages with glandular function, that are either present on the receptacula walls or on ducts of variable length. However, different terminologies have been proposed as follows: 'gland of spermatheca' (Comstock 1910;Ono 1988), 'spermathecal organs' (Schick 1965;Dondale and Redner 1976;and previous papers;Szita and Samu 2000;Muster and Thaler 2003;Szita and Logunov 2008), 'receptacula' (Logunov 1996), and 'glandular heads' (Muster et al 2007).…”

The first quantitative phylogenetic analysis within the spider family Philodromidae (using 65 morphological characters from 40 ingroup taxa) does not corroborate Schick’s division into the tribes Thanatini (Apollophanes O. P.-Cambridge, 1898, Pelloctanes Schick, 1965, Thanatus C. L. Koch, 1837; Tibellus, Simon, 1875) and Philodromini (Ebo Keyserling, 1884, Philodromus Walckenaer, 1826; Rhysodromus Schick, 1965). Instead, Ebo is sister to all other genera in the family, and a fraction of Philodromus (the histrio species-group = Rhysodromus Schick) are contained with the Thanatini. The forgotten genus Artanes Thorell, 1870 constitutes a well-defined distal taxon in a clade that contains the majority of Philodromus species. Here Artanes is considered a subgenus of Philodromus, and includes the margaritatus and the poecilus species-groups. The western Palearctic species of the subgenus are revised. Twelve species are (re-)described, keyed and illustrated: Philodromus blanckei (Wunderlich, 1995) (first description of ♀); P. calidus Lucas, 1846; P. femurostriatus, sp. nov. from the eastern Mediterranean; P. fuscomarginatus (De Geer, 1778); P. johani, sp. nov. from Crete; P. laricium Simon, 1875, removed from synonymy with P. corticinus (C. L. Koch); P. maghrebi, sp. nov. from northern Africa (♀ only); P. margaritatus (Clerck, 1757); P. parietalis Simon, 1875; P. pentheri, sp. nov. from the Caspian region and Albania (♀ only); P. pinetorum, sp. nov. from the Mediterranean; and P. poecilus (Thorell, 1872).

Adult spiders (N = 6,979) of 19 families, 145 genera, and 302 species (including 4 unknown) were collected from diverse inland, coastal, and offshore habitats of Milbridge, a 6,290-ha minor civil division of the East Coastal BioPhysical Region. Spider species richness per family ranged from 1 (Titanoecidae and Pisauridae) to 89 (Linyphiidae); species richness per genus ranged from 1 to 13, with 88 genera represented by a single species. As expected, the collected taxa were distributed unequally between two basic foraging strategies: 10 families, 98 genera, and 179 species of web spinners; 9 families, 47 genera, and 123 species of hunters.Spider abundances varied widely among taxa; individuals per family ranged from 1 (Titanoecidae and Pisauridae) to 1,691(Lycosidae); individuals per species ranged from 1 (86 species) to 470. Pardosa moesta was the most frequently collected spider. Although total species composition favored web spinners over hunters, more hunters were collected than web spinners, and more female spiders were collected than male spiders, a pattern evident for both web spinners and hunters. Spider sex ratios varied widely among the collected species and were influenced by sampling method, habitat, and season. Pitfall traps yielded more species and more individuals than any other sampling method. Fully 47.0 percent of the inventoried fauna were method-unique species; most were taken by pitfall traps, searches, and sweep nets. Species-faunal compositions among habitats were generally distinct among habitats (QS ≤ 50.0), and included habitat-unique spedies.Species-range extensions include 31 new state records, 6 New England records, and 3 national records. At least 12 invasive species were among the inventoried spiders; 5 were associated with domestic habitats. Based on published and unpublished records from the same biophysical region, total estimated richness is 24 families, 172 genera, and ~ 411 species. Loss of habitat and displacement of native species by invasives pose potential threats to this diverse fauna. COVER PHOTOAraneus orb weaver, courtesy of Lt. Col. Murray Cragin, USAF (retired).

Taxonomy and phylogenetic analysis of the South American genus

et al. 2022

The systematics of Philodromidae is far from complete, especially for the Neotropical genera. Among these, Petrichus Simon, 1886 is a poorly known genus restricted to arid and semi-arid environments of South America. In this work, we performed a total-evidence analysis to assess the phylogenetic relationships of Petrichus and revised the taxonomy. Petrichus is monophyletic and closer to Titanebo and the New World Ebo. Within Petrichus, two clades are obtained: the Eremean Clade, containing five species displaying a Neotropical distribution; and the Patagonian Clade, with the seven species inhabiting southern South America. Our results also support a previous hypothesis on the phylogenetic relationships within Philodromidae. Thanatini is monophyletic and includes Fageia and Berlandiella, although this is not statistically supported, whereas Philodromini emerges as paraphyletic. We propose Philodromini be expanded to contain all genera having eyes on tubercles analysed in this work plus the closely related Halodromus, whereas the circumscription of Thanatini should await future phylogenetic analyses with new evidence. As for taxonomic proposals, we synonymise Bacillocnemis Mello-Leitão, 1938 with Petrichus, Petrichus ornatus Schiapelli & Gerschman, 1942 and P. luteus (Nicolet, 1849) with P. junior (Nicolet, 1849), P. lancearius Simon, 1905 with P. tullgreni Simon, 1902; we transfer P. corticinus Mello-Leitão, 1944 to Misumenoides Pickard-Cambridge, 1900 (Thomisidae); and P. fuliginosus (Nicolet, 1849), P. cinereus Tullgren, 1901, P. sordidus Tullgren, 1901 and P. zonatus Tullgren, 1901 are regarded as nomina dubia. In total, 13 species are recognised for the genus, of which four are new (described by Griotti & Grismado): P. spira, from western Argentina, P. patagoniensis, from south-western Argentina, P. roigjunenti, from Argentina and Chile and P. eremicus, from north-central Chile.
