Neunachweis der exotischen Speispinne Scytodes fusca (Araneae, Scytodidae) in Mitteleuropa aus Deutschland und der Slowakei
artificial tropical ecosystem, botanical garden, first record, introduced species
Abstract
The spitting spider Scytodes fusca Walckenaer, 1837 is recorded for the first time in Central Europe from both Germany and Slovakia. The species was found in two localities, within the Botanical Garden in Bratislava (Slovakia), specifically from a heated greenhouse with high humidity, and the 'Tropical Islands', a tropical holiday resort in Krausnick (Germany). It seems that this Pantropical species has probably been introduced here along with imported plants. A description of diagnostic characters, as well as figures, is given.
Die Speispinne Scytodes fusca Walckenaer, 1837 konnte erstmals für Mitteleuropa in Deutschland und der Slowakei nachgewiesen werden. Die Funde stammen aus dem Botanischen Garten in Bratislava (Slowakei) sowie aus dem tropischen Freizeitbad Tropical Islands in Krausnick (Deutschland). Es wird vermutet, dass die pantropische Art durch Zierpflanzen eingeschleppt wurde. Eine Beschreibung der charakteristischen Merkmale und auch Abbildungen sind eingefügt.
