Members of Pardosa amentata and P. lugubris species groups in Crimea and Caucasus with notes on P. abagensis (Aranei: Lycosidae)

Abstract

are provided on the basis of specimens from Crimea and Caucasus. Expanded diagnosis for P. amentata and P. lugubris groups are suggested. P. abagensis is placed to separate species group; diagnosis for this group is provided. Phenology in Crimea is given for P. lugubris. The record of P. alacris (C.L. Koch, 1833) from Crimea was based on misidentification of P. lugubris. ÐÅÇÞÌÅ.

A new species of spider belonging to the Pardosa lugubris-group (Araneae: Lycosidae) from Far East Asia

“…Note. Also, males of the new species differ from other species of P. lugubris-group: from P. alacris it distinguished by coloration of the cymbium (Kronestedt 1992), from P. baehrorum-by size of the cymbium and femora, and by coloration of first femora (Kronestedt 1999), from P. caucasica-by the shape of tegular apophysis and embolus (Nadolny & Kovblyuk 2012); from P. pertinax-by the shape of tegular apophysis (Töpfer-Hofmann et al 2000), and from P. saltans-by the size of the cymbium (Roberts 1998;Kronestedt 1999;Töpfer-Hofmann et al 2000). Female epigynes in P. lugubris-group are indistinguishable, except P. caucasica (Nadolny & Kovblyuk 2012).…”

Some Biological Features of Pardosa Lugubris (Walckenaer, 1802) (Aranei, Lycosidae) in Odesa Region

“…По нашим данным в Одесской области у P. lugubris наблюдались два пика сезонной активности, которые были отмечены в мае и сентябре. В Крыму пик активности был отмечен в мае-июне для самцов, а в июне-июле -для самок [20]. Пауки P. lugubris из дунайской степной подобласти появляются на неделю раньше, чем пауки из днестровской степной подобласти.…”
