Zur Kenntnis der Pseudoskorpion-Fauna von Ostdeutschland (Arachnida, Pseudoscorpiones)

On the knowledge of the pseudoscorpion fauna of East Germany (Arachnida, Pseudoscorpiones)

Abstract

Based on the examination of over 23,000 specimens, distribution, frequency/dominance, morphometric data and ecology of the East German false scorpions are presented. Most samples were collected by the authors, the rest are from Museums and other persons. 38 species were recorded. The preferred habitats and strata of the most species are described. Phoresy was observed for Allochernes peregrinus, Lamprochernes chyzeri, L. nodosus and Pselaphochernes scorpioides. Nine species live in ant nests. Zoogeographic aspects of the species assemblage are discussed in the world wide context. Distribution limits of four species run across the area of investigation.

Larinioides sclopetarius, eine parasoziale Spinne Mitteleuropas?

Larinioides sclopetarius, a parasocial spider of Central Europe?

Abstract

Larinioides sclopetarius is one of very few Central European spiders known to be found in colonies in which the orb-webs are attached to each other. Indiviuals of different generations cooperate at least in web-building, i.e. they share the same framework or irregular "web carpet". This behaviour is called parasocial and up to now it has been studied mainly in subtropical and tropical species. Parasocial (colonial) life can lead to total degeneration of the orb-webs and is the result of increased tolerance, which depends on local superabundance of prey. Initial surveys in Essen (Germany) showed that groups of 60 to 200 individuals do not seem to be exceptional. More detailed studies on the group-living of L. sclopetarius are needed.

Ein Endemit auf Abwegen: Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) nidicola neu für Deutschland (Pseudoscorpiones, Chthoniidae)

Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) nidicola - new to Germany

Abstract

The first record of this species outside the Alps is presented from Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The locality, Bad Neuenahr, represents a considerable extension of the known range of a species which has up till now been regarded an endemic of southern Switzerland.

Interessante Weberknechtfunde aus Polen (Arachnida: Opiliones)

Interesting records of Polish harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones)

Abstract

Many new localities for Polish harvestmen are recorded, specifically for species whose ranges do not encompass the whole country. Opilio canestrinii is recorded for the first time in Poland.
