چکیده

The types of nine Xysticus species described by Schenkel (1963) from China and Mongolia are revised. Comments on all 16 species described by Schenkel in 1963 are provided. Three species are synonymised with Xysticus davidi Schenkel, 1963: X. excavatus Schenkel, 1963, syn. n., X. hotingchiehi Schenkel, 1963, syn. n., X. pentagonius Seyfulina & Mikhailov, 2004, syn. n. Xysticus fagei Schenkel 1963, syn. n. is a junior synonym of X. ephippiatus Simon, 1880. Xysticus lesserti Schenkel, 1963 is revalidated and removed from synonymy with X. kurilensis Strand, 1907. A male specimen from Gansu identified by Schenkel as Xysticus sibiricus Kulczyński, 1908 is described as a new species X. courti sp. n.

The significance of male pedipalpal characters for the higher systematics of the crab spider genus Xysticus C.L. Koch, 1835 (Araneae: Thomisidae)

Male pedipalp characters support the hypothesis that there are potentially at least three clades within European Xysticus s.l. C.L. Koch, 1835 (Araneae: Thomisidae). These clades correspond with the older, but currently synonymised, genera Proxysticus Dalmas, 1922 and Psammitis Menge, 1875. Synapomorphies in the male pedipalp shared with other thomisid genera (e.g. Coriarachne Thorell, 1870, Oz...

The genus Ozyptila Simon, 1864 contains 107 catalogued species distributed mainly in the Holarctic region (Platnick 2013). This genus has traditionally been regarded as a group of small ground-living thomisids with clavate setae related to Xysticus (Lehtinen 2002). Ten species were recorded from China (Song & Zhu, 1997; Platnick 2013). Species of Ozyptila can be distinguished from those of Xyst...

Re-description of Xysticus bimaculatus L. Koch, 1867 (Araneae, Thomisidae) and characterization of its subsocial lifestyle

Spiders have become an important model to study the evolution of sociality, but a lack of their detailed natural history and taxonomy hinders broader comparative studies. Group-living crab spiders (Thomisidae) provide an excellent contrast to other social spiders since they lack a communal capture web, which was thought to be a critical factor in the evolution of sociality. Only three non-webbu...
