“…The copulatory organs of N. athiasi could resemble those of N. amicitia spec. nov. but, in males, the bulbs are less globous and more elongated, the morphology of the tip is simpler and the ventral denticles are smaller (Decae et al 2007). In females, each spermatheca is narrow and straight on the distal half with a ring of glandular tissue (Decae et al 2007).…”

A new species of trapdoor spider found in southern Andalusia, Spain, Nemesia amicitia spec. nov., is described. This species builds a branched burrow with a characteristic wafer-type trapdoor over a curb around the entrance. In the same geographic area, two populations of N. uncinata Bacelar, 1933 have been found. New data about the morphological variability of this species and the structure of its burrow are provided.

“…The relative scarcity of specimens in museum collections might be the reason why this genus was rarely known in taxonomy (Haupt and Shimojana 2001). Decae (2019) and Decae et al (2021) questioned the unity of Latouchia and Decae and Caranhac (2020) re-established L. fossoria Pocock, 1901 as the type species of the genus. For the fauna of China, eight species and one subspecies of Latouchia were recorded (World Spider Catalog 2021): L. cornuta Song, Qiu & Zheng, 1983;L.…”

The genus Latouchia Pocock, 1901 (Araneae: Mygalomorphae: Halonoproctidae: Ummidiinae) includes 21 species and 1 subspecies occurring in southeast Eurasia. Just like other trapdoor spiders, the specimens of Latouchia are rare in collections, unless from targeted collecting. Two new species of mygalomorph spiders, Latouchia rufa sp. n. from Guangdong, China and L. yejiei sp. n. from Hainan, China, are described and illustrated from both sexes. Diagnostic characters of the two species are provided.

With the increasing recognition of the significance of arachnid conservation, it is crucial to allocate greater efforts towards implementing targeted monitoring programmes. Despite recent studies, our understanding of arachnid populations in Portugal remains limited. This study serves as the initial inventory of arachnids (Araneae and Opiliones) within the Castro Verde Special Protection Area (SPA) located in Beja, southern Portugal. The surveys were conducted during the spring of 2012 across 80 open grasslands that were grazed by cattle and sheep. A total of 71 species of Araneae and two species of Opiliones have been identified. Notably, three spider species, namely Argenna subnigra, Civizelotes ibericus and Walckenaeria cucullata, are documented for the first time in Portugal. Additionally, two harvestmen species (Dasylobus ibericus and Homalenotus buchneri) and 14 spider species (Cheiracanthium pennatum, Haplodrassus rhodanicus, Marinarozelotes minutus, Tapinocyba algirica, Agraecina lineata, Tibellus macellus, Talavera petrensis, Tetragnatha intermedia, Dipoena umbratilis, Enoplognatha diversa, Neottiura uncinata, Ruborridion musivum, Theridion pinastri and Xysticus grallator) are recorded for the first time in the Beja District. The occurrence of each documented species within the SPA, including family and species details, is presented, underscoring the significance of the Castro Verde SPA for arachnid conservation. These findings contribute novel insights into the biodiversity of the Castro Verde SPA, emphasising the necessity of incorporating this area into arachnid diversity conservation efforts.
