Abstract

This paper presents the results of a preliminary survey of the spiders of Marmara region and provides new data on the spider fauna of Türkiye. During the study, spider samples were collected by hand aspirator and pitfall traps. As a result, Heliophanus apiatus Simon, 1868 (Salticidae) is recorded for the first time from Türkiye. Also, occurrence of Amaurobius pallidus L. Koch, 1868 (Amaurobiidae) is confirmed with this study. Additionally, the record of H. apiatus from Marmara region represents the easternmost point of its distribution range. A morphological diagnosis, comparative pictures, and illustrations are provided for both species.

Abstract

Bu makale, Marmara bölgesi örümcekleri üzerinde yapılan ön araştırmanın sonuçlarını ve Türkiye örümcek faunasına ilişkin yeni verileri sunmaktadır. Çalışma sırasında örümcek örnekleri el aspiratörü ve düşürme tuzakları ile toplandı. Heliophanus apiatus Simon, 1868 (Salticidae) Türkiye'den ilk kez kayıt altına alındı. Ayrıca Amaurobius pallidus L. Koch, 1868 (Amaurobiidae)'nin varlığı bu çalışmayla doğrulandı. Ayrıca H. apiatus'un Marmara bölgesinden kaydedilmesi dağılım aralığının en doğu noktasını temsil etmektedir. Her iki tür için morfolojik tanı, karşılaştırmalı fotoğraflar ve çizimler sunulmuştur.
