چکیده
The spider genus Enna O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1897 comprises 38 species, distributed from Mexico to Southern Brazil, and is the most diverse genus of Trechaleidae (Platnick, 2013). Enna was revised by Silva et al. (2008) and 13 further species were described by Silva & Lise (2009a, 2009b), Carico & Silva (2010), Silva & Lise (2011) and Silva et al. (2012). Silva & Lise (2010) and Silva et al. (2012) also synonymised two Enna species. Currently, there are 11 Enna species known from Peru (Silva et al. 2008; Silva & Lise 2009a, 2009b, 2011; Carico & Silva 2010; Silva et al. 2012). In this work, a new species of Enna is described and illustrated from Peru. A distribution map is provided. The material examined is deposited in Museo de Historia Natural de la Universidad Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru (MUSM) and The Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, USA (FMNH). The nomenclature of the female epigynum structures follows Carico (1993) and Silva et al. (2008). To study the excised epigyna, the soft tissue was removed by a combination of dissection with a small surgical blade and immersion in the enzyme trypsin for 48 hours at 25°C. All the measurements are in millimeters. The photos of the female genitalia were obtained using a Nikon D1X Camera Body adapted to an Infinity K1 Long Distance Microscope with an Infinity Achrovid 5x Objective. Photos of habitus were obtained using a Sony W560 camera attached to a Zeiss SV6 stereomicroscope. Images were edited using Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Lightroom 4.4. The distributional map was made with the program Croizat version 1.16b (Cavalcanti 2009). Abbreviations related to eye measurements: AE row = width of anterior eye row, PE row = width of posterior eye row, OQA = width of ocular quadrangle anteriorly, equivalent to the outer distance of anterior median eyes, OQP = width of ocular quadrangle posteriorly, equivalent to the outer distance of posterior median eyes, OQH = height of ocular quadrangle, equivalent to the outer distance of anterior median eyes and posterior median eyes, PLE = posterior lateral eye, PME = posterior median eye, ALE = anterior lateral eye, AME = anterior median eye, PLE-PME = distance between posterior lateral eye and posterior median eye, PME-PME = distance between posterior median eyes, ALEAME = distance between anterior lateral eye and anterior median eye, AME-AME = distance between anterior median eyes. Abbreviations related to female genitalia: AS, accessory spermatheca; FD, fertilization duct; HS, head of spermatheca; LL, lateral lobes; MF, middle field of epigynum; SC, scape.

متن کاملDo really all wolf spiders carry spiderlings on their opisthosomas? The case of Hygrolycosa rubrofasciata (Araneae: Lycosidae)
Wolf spider females are characterised by carrying cocoons attached to their spinnerets. Emerged spiderlings are carried on the females’ opisthosomas, with the exception of three Japanese lycosid species who carry spiderlings on empty cocoons. Here, the same behaviour is recorded in a European spider: the drumming wolf spider Hygrolycosa rubrofasciata. Spiderlings of this species do not try to c...

Spiders are poorly studied in Iran, based on the latest studies the spider fauna of Iran includes 394 species in 126 genera belonging to 36 families. Considering the climatic and geographical variation of Iran, it can be assumed that Iran has a rich spider fauna compared to the adjacent countries. The present study seeks to take a new step in the ongoing active research of Iranian spider fauna....
متن کاملFish Predation by Semi-Aquatic Spiders: A Global Pattern
More than 80 incidences of fish predation by semi-aquatic spiders--observed at the fringes of shallow freshwater streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, swamps, and fens--are reviewed. We provide evidence that fish predation by semi-aquatic spiders is geographically widespread, occurring on all continents except Antarctica. Fish predation by spiders appears to be more common in warmer areas between 40° ...

The genus Dolomedes Latreille, 1804 present a very wide range of distribution on every continent except Antarctica (Platnick 2013) However, only one species has been reported from Madagascar, Dolomedes saccalavus Strand, 1907, which is unfortunately based on a juvenile specimen and was destroyed in wartime. We consider this a nomen dubium. In this work, one new species of Dolomedes Latreille, 1...
