“…Most of the available papers are descriptive (Carvalho et al, 2007;Almeida-Silva & Brescovit, 2008;Ott & Brescovit, 2013;Pompozzi et al, 2013;Ruiz & Bonaldo, 2013;Taucare-Ríos & Bustamante, 2015) and just a few deals with the relations of the studied species with their environments (Malumbres-Olarte, 2015;Rodríguez-Rodríguez et al, 2015). Nevertheless, the handful studies carried on in Brazil have been showing a large number of invasive or synanthropic spiders and the list of those spiders in Brazilian territory depicts today at least fifty species (Brescovit, 2002;Indicatti & Brescovit, 2008;Simó et al, 2015).…”

Twelve non-native species of the spider family Oonopidae are recorded in Brazil: Brignolia dasysterna Platnick, Dupérré, Ott & Kranz-Baltensperger, 2011, B. parumpunctata (Simon, 1893), Triaeris stenaspis Simon, 1892, Ischnothyreus peltifer (Simon, 1892), I. velox Jackson, 1908, Opopaea concolor (Blackwall, 1859), O. deserticola Simon, 1892, Pelicinus marmoratus Simon, 1892, Heteroonops spinimanus (Simon, 1892), Gamasomorpha parmata (Thorell, 1890) (herein restored to its original combination in Xestaspis), Orchestina pavesiiformis Saaristo, 2007 and O. dentifera (Simon, 1893). Among these species, six new synonyms were detected: Hytanis oblonga Simon, 1893, Xestaspis bipeltis Thorell, 1895, Gamasomorpha insularis Simon, 1907 and Opopaea lutzi Petrunkevitch, 1929 with Xestaspis parmata Thorell, 1890; Gammasomorpha humilis Mello-Leitão, 1920 with Opopaea concolor (Blackwall, 1859) and Gamasomorpha rufa Banks, 1898 with Opopaea deserticola Simon, 1891. Since Hytanis oblonga is the type species of the genus, its synonymy with Xestaspis parmata imply in the synonymy of Hytanis Simon, 1893 with Xestaspis Simon, 1884. The partenogenetic species T. stenaspis is the most distributed synanthropic oonopid in Brazil, occurring all over the country, mainly in urban areas. Some species are reported here to occur in the interior of natural caves, a finding that should raise conservation concerns.

“…Considering that most of the known records of the species are from urban areas, this result is relevant to take into account in future studies about the role of roads in the dispersion of the species. This variable was reported for another synanthropic spider, Badumna longinqua (Simó, Laborda, Núñez and Brescovit, 2015), where roads played an important role in the dispersal of the species. Also tree cover constitutes a variable that influence positively in the distribution.…”

The genus Mastophora Holmberg, 1876 is represented by 50 species that are distributed mainly in America and the Antilles. Males are much smaller than females and are not described in more than half of the known species of the genus. The high specificity of their diet (moths) and the prey-hunting strategy used by females are also characteristic of the genus. The objectives of this contribution are: to describe for the first time the male of Mastophora extraordinaria Holmberg, 1876, the type species of the genus, to provide images of live specimens and genitalia of both sexes and to give data of natural history, development, feeding and its potential distribution. We performed observations in the field and laboratory. We maintained females with their egg sacs until the adulthood of the males occurred. Males of M. extraordinaria are distinguished by having a short and curved embolus and median apophysis with a broad base and hook-shaped apex. The species was founded in tree foliages in natural forests or urban gardens. Literature data, new distribution records and the potential model show that the species has a pampasic distribution.

“…It is found throughout New Zealand in all habitats except native forest, and is especially common around human habitations (Forster 1970;Paquin et al 2010). Since then, B. longinqua has been recorded from the western U.S.A. (Gertsch 1937) and Hawaii (Roth & Nishida 1997), Mexico (Leech 1972), Argentina (Pompozzi et al 2013), Brazil (Simó et al 2015), Uruguay (Capocasale & Pereira 2003;Simó et al 2011), Japan (Okumura et al 2009), Germany (Kielhorn & Rödel 2011) and South Africa (Haddad et al 2013), with early specimen records from the U.S.A. dating back to 1918 (Leech 1971). As such, this species provides an excellent example among arachnids of the effects of expansion in global trade during the past century in facilitating accidental species introductions (Seebens et al 2017).…”
