Glyphesis taoplesius Wunderlich, 1969 is a very rare spider species that has only been found in a few locations in Europe. Two specimens of G. taoplesius were recently collected in the Bug river valley in eastern Poland. It is the first record of this species in Poland. A morphological description of the male and a distribution map of the species are given in the paper. G. taoplesius is a hygrophilous spider typically found near bodies of water and the Polish specimens were found in a periodically flooded meadow.

In this paper, we report for the first time two spider species for Albania, four for Bulgaria and two for Greece: Altella lucida (Simon, 1874) (Bulgaria), Eresus moravicus Rezác, 2008 (Bulgaria and Greece), Filistata insidiatrix (Forsskål, 1775) (Albania), Harpactea samuili Lazarov, 2006 (Greece), Loxosceles rufescens (Dufour, 1820) (Albania), Pritha parva Legittimo, Simeon, Di Pompeo et Kulczycki, 2017 (Bulgaria) and Pritha vestita (Simon, 1873) (Bulgaria). The recently described species P. parva is the first report for the Balkan Peninsula, while P. vestita is the first record for mainland Europe. Their congener Pritha nana (Simon, 1868) is removed from the Bulgarian checklist of spiders (misidentification). As a result of our report, the number of spider species increases to 571, 1049 and 1183 in Albania, Bulgaria and Greece, respectively.

<p>A total number of 35 spider species and more than 170 insect species from five orders were recorded from the southeast of Poltava Region through the pitfall-trapping in the floodplain meadows. Six spider species, eight true bug species, and five beetle species are new for Poltava Region; one spider species (<em>Pardosa maisa</em>) and one fly species (<em>Aphanotrigonum</em><em> </em><em>brachypterum</em>) are new for Ukraine. For <em>A.</em><em> </em><em>brachypterum, </em>it is the first record from the East European Plain. Spider assemblages were the most abundant in the terms of species and individuals in a saline meadow while the beetles preferred mesic non-saline meadows. A checklist of collected species is given, and the geographic distribution of the rare species is discussed.</p>

The orb-weaving spider genus Novaranea Court & Forster, 1988, previously known only from New Zealand, is here reported from Australia for the first time with the description of a new species. Generic affinities, here based on characteristic shapes of the median and terminal apophyses of the male pedipalp, remain somewhat ambiguous as some of the endemic New Zealand araneine genera remain to be tested within a rigorous phylogenetic analysis. Novaranea courti n. sp. is found in the southeastern parts of Australia, including New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. Mature spiders are generally found between January and March, although some specimens were collected in April, June and November. Novaranea courti n. sp. appears to prefer forest habitats (e.g. Southern Beech (Nothofagus) forest and Eucalyptus/Casuarina woodland), but was also found in more open areas such as grassand heathland.

An annotated list of 31 spider species of 12 families collected in Northeasten, Easten and Southern Ukraine is presented. Four speceis, Marinarozelotes manychensis (Ponomarev & Tsvetkov, 2006), Turkоzelotes kazachstanicus (Ponomarev et Tsvetkov, 2006), Zelotes atrocaeruleus (Simon, 1878), and Z. puritanus Chamberlin, 1922, are recorded for the first time from Ukraine. For Micaria coarctata (Lucas, 1846), this is the first record from the East European Plain. Nine species were recorded for the first time from Left-Bank Ukraine. To date, 1081 spider species are known from Ukraine and 757 species from Left-Bank Ukraine. Bsed on recent data, the northern boundaries of the geographic ranges of Drassyllus crimeaensis Kovblyuk, 2003 and Bassanioides caperatus (Simon, 1875) run along the northern coast of the Sea of Azov. For Marinarozelotes manychensis and Turkоzelotes kazachstanicus the northwestern coast of the Sea of Azov is the westernmost known limits of their distiribution. The range of Heriaeus horridus Tyschchenko, 1965 is delimited in the west by the right bank of the Dnieper estuary. Thirteen species are illlustrted.

Abstract A number of spider species were collected in 2011 and 2012 in various microhabitats in and around the village Letea (the Danube Delta, Romania) and on the Bulgarian Dobruja Black Sea coast. The results are the start of a proposed longer survey of the spider fauna in the area. The genus Spermophora Hentz, 1841 (with the species senoculata), Xysticus laetus Thorell, 1875 and Trochosahispanica Simon, 1870 are mentioned in the Romanian fauna for the first time. Floronia bucculenta (Clerck, 1757) is at the first record for the Bulgarian fauna. Diagnostic drawings and photographs are presented.

Draposa gen. nov. is proposed for eight wolf spider species from the Indomalayan Region, all of which were previously placed in the genus Pardosa: Draposa atropalpis (Gravely, 1924) comb. nov., D. lyrivulva (Bosenberg & Strand, 1906) comb. nov. (= Pardosa leucopalpis Gravely, 1924 syn. nov.), D. nicobarica (Thorell, 1891) comb. nov., D. oakleyi (Gravely, 1924) comb. nov., D. porpaensis (U. A. Gajbe, 2004) comb. nov., D. subhadrae (Patel & Reddy, 1993) comb. nov., D. tenasserimensis (Thorell, 1895) comb. nov., and D. zhanjiangensis (Yin, Wang, Peng & Xie, 1995) comb. nov. Species of Draposa share synapomorphies in the copulatory organs, inter alia a complex subpaleal sclerite in the terminal part of the male bulbus. The presence of D. lyrivulva in Japan is put in doubt and the species should be excluded from the list of spiders in that country. Draposa nicobarica (type species) and D. tenasserimensis are redescribed and illustrated for the first time from the type material. Draposa atropalpis is redescribed from material from India and Sri Lanka, D. lyrivulva and D. subhadrae (first record outside India) from material collected in Sri Lanka and D. oakleyi from material from India and Bangladesh.

A New Species

Mygalomorphs are a diverse spider group with primitive characteristics composed of the largest spider species in the world, however some species may be very small (Bond et al. 2012; Rogerio et al. 2013). The small spiders of the subfamily Masteriinae (Dipluridae, Mygalomorphae) can be found in Asia and South America (Raven 1981; Pedroso et al. 2015; WSC 2017). The subfamily is represented by two genera: Masteria L. Koch, 1873 and Striamea Raven, 1981. Masteria species can be identified by the following combination of characters: absence of cuspules in endites and labium; zero, two, six or eight eyes; and with or without paraembolic apophysis on the male palpal bulb (Raven 1981, 1985, 1991; Alayón 1995; Bertani et al. 2013; Pedroso et al. 2015). Currently, 24 species of Masteria are described, with 6 species found in South America: Masteria colombiensis, Raven, 1981 from Colombia; M. manauara Bertani, Cruz & Oliveira 2013 and M. emboaba Pedroso, Baptista & Bertani, 2015 from Brazil; M. cyclops (Simon 1889), M. tovarensis (Simon, 1889) and M. lucifuga (Simon, 1889) from Venezuela (WSC 2017). We document herein the first record and description of a new species of the genus Masteria from Guyana.

The genus Sinopoda Jäger, 1999 is recorded for the first time in Laos. Nine new species are described: Sinopoda steineri spec. nov. (female; Luang Nam Tha), S. tham spec. nov. (male, female; Oudomxai), S. sitkao spec. nov. (female; Luang Prabang), S. taa spec. nov. (female; Luang Prabang), S. suang spec. nov. (female; Huaphan), S. peet spec. nov. (female; Huaphan), S. guap spec. nov. (female; Khammuan), S. soong spec. nov. (female; Khammuan), S. scurion spec. nov. (female; Khammuan). All species have been collected from caves. Sinopoda scurion spec. nov. represents the first record of an eyeless huntsman spider, S. guap spec. nov. exhibits only small lenses of six eyes (AME lacking), S. soong spec. nov. has only two small eye lenses. Four immature individuals (Sinopoda sp. indet. A–D) exhibited a reduced size or number of eyes, they are listed including their localities although they could not be identified to species level.
