Further notes on spiders from the Special Nature Reserve Zasavica (Serbia)

Ergänzungen zur Spinnenfauna des Zasavica-Naturschutzgebietes (Serbien)

Abstract

Zasavica is a wetland in western central Serbia with very little information on its spider fauna. During 2011 faunistic research was carried out; the material collected mostly using pitfall traps, but also sweep netting, beating and hand-collecting. A total of 3053 individuals were caught, and 107 species from 21 families were identified. Among these species, seven are first records for the Serbian fauna: Holocnemus pluchei (Scopoli, 1763), Dactylopisthes digiticeps (Simon, 1881), Walckenaeria alticeps (Denis, 1952), Pachygnatha listeri Sundevall 1830, Liocranoeca striata (Kulczyński, 1882), Phrurolithus minimus C. L. Koch, 1839 and Tibellus maritimus (Menge, 1875). Additionally, 59 species are new for the reserve. Beside a new species list for the reserve, some notes on these national records were made.

Zasavica ist ein Feuchtgebietskomplex im westlichen Mittelserbien, zum dem bisher nur wenige arachnologische Daten vorliegen. Im Jahr 2011 wurde eine faunistische Erhebung durchgeführt, wobei die Erfassung der Spinnen mittels Barberfallen, Keschern, Klopfen und Handaufsammlungen erfolgte. Insgesamt wurden 3053 Individuen, die sich auf 107 Arten aus 21 Familien verteilten, gesammelt. Sieben Arten wurden hierbei erstmals für Serbien nachgewiesen: Holocnemus pluchei (Scopoli, 1763), Dactylopisthes digiticeps (Simon, 1881), Walckenaeria alticeps (Denis, 1952), Pachygnatha listeri Sundevall 1830, Liocranoeca striata (Kulczyński, 1882), Phrurolithus minimus C. L. Koch, 1839 und Tibellus maritimus (Menge, 1875).59 Arten sind Neufunde für Zasavica. Neben einer aktualisierten Artenliste wird die Ökologie und Verbreitung der Neufunde für Serbien näher beschrieben.
