On Roeweriella balcanica, a mysterious species of Marpissa from the Balkan Peninsula (Araneae, Salticidae)

The taxonomic position of the poorly known species Roeweriella balcanica Kratochvíl, 1932 from Croatia is discussed. The species is illustrated and re-described on the basis of the female holotype. The genus Roeweriella Kratochvíl, 1932 (type species: R. balcanica Kratochvíl, 1932 by monotypy) is synonymized with Marpissa C.L. Koch, 1846, and therefore the new combination, Marpissa (Marpissa) balcanica (Kratochvíl, 1932) comb.nov., is proposed

Further faunistic notes on Cozyptila and Xysticus from Turkey (Aranea, Thomisidae)

Nine recently described or poorly known species of the thomisid genera Cozyptila Lehtinen & Marusik, 2005 and Xysticus C.L. Koch, 1835 are reported from Turkey. Five species, Cozyptila blackwalli (Simon, 1875), C. thaleri Marusik & Kovblyuk, 2005, Xysticus bacurianensis Mcheidze, 1971, X. thessalicoides Wunderlich, 1995 and X. xerodermus Strand, 1913, are new records for the Turkish spider fauna. Two species, X. bacurianensis and X. xerodermus are illustrated and a distribution map is provided for the former. A few additional records are given for Greece and the Caucasian countries, of which X. bacurianensis is new for Azerbaijan

Notes on the distribution of Oculicosa supermirabilis (Araneae, Lycosidae)

The distribution of the poorly known Central Asian wolf-spider Oculicosa supermirabilis Zyuzin, 1993 is clarified, discussed and mapped on the basis of both original and literature-derived data. The species is currently known from the Turan Lowland between the 41st and 43rd degrees of latitude north; its distribution coincides with that of the grey-brown desert soil and lies within the geobotanical sub-zone of southern deserts. Both sexes are also illustrated and diagnosed

A synopsis of the jumping spider fauna in the Russian Far East (Araneae, Salticidae)

A revised check-list of the jumping spiders in the Russian Far East is given. Altogether, 82 valid species are listed on the basis of literature and examination of new materials. Besides, 15 species previously reported from the area are considered to be wrong or doubtful records. All literature records from the Russian Far East with original nomenclature are included, and the collection localities are shown on maps

Further notes on the Harmochireae of Africa (Araneae, Salticidae, Pelleninae)

Four new spiders,Bianor paulyi sp. n. (♂♀; from Madagascar and the Comoros), Microbianor deltshevi sp. n. (♂♀; from Madagascar), M. madagascarensis sp. n. (♂♀; from Madagascar), and Sibianor anansii sp. n. (♂♀; from Botswana), are diagnosed, illustrated and described. A new combination is suggested: Sibianor proszynskii (Zhu et Song, 2001) comb. n. (ex Harmochirus). New faunistic records from Africa are given for Bianor albobimaculatus, B. kovaczi, Harmochirus luculentus, Modunda staintoni, Neaetha oculata, and Sibianor kenyaensis. A brief discussion of the current state of knowledge of the Harmochireae is also provided
