Arachnologische Mitteilungen 57

64 N. Polchaninova & E. Prokopenko species (Ponomarev 2005, 2017, Ponomarev et al. 2016). Yet here we have to take into consideration that the Rostov Re­ gion is four times larger and includes an area of semi-desert steppes absent in the Donetsk Region. The worst studied in Left-Bank Ukraine are the Zaporizhzhia and Poltava regions. There is a huge gap in arachnological taxonomic studies in both Left-Bank Ukraine and Ukraine as a whole. Per­ manent systematic research is being conducted only in the Crimea, mainly in the families Gnaphosidae, Philodromidae, Linyphiidae, and superfamily Lycosoidea (Gnelitsa 2009, Kovblyuk et al. 2012, Kastrygina & Kovblyuk 2013, 2014, Nadolny 2014). The Linyphiidae is under study throughout Ukraine (V. Gnelitsa’s research), but the results have not been summarized yet. References Barbarych AI (ed.) 1977 Geobotanical Regioning of the UkrSSR.
