Abstract

Irak örümcek faunası, çoğunlukla yerel araştırmacılar tarafından tanımlanan ve rapor edilen birkaç düzine türü içerir fakat yine de birçok örneklenmemiş alan bulunmaktadır. Irakta ilk kez Agelena orientalis C. L. Koch 1837 (Agelenidae), Oxyopes globifer Simon, 1876 (Oxyopidae), ve Thanatus formicinus (Clerck, 1757) (Philodromidae) kayıt edilmiştir. Buna ilaveten Bassaniodes tristrami (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872) (Thomisidae) ve Eusparassus mesopotamicus Moradmand & Jäger, 2012 (Sparassidae) türlerinin yeni toplanan örnekleri sunulmuştur. Tüm türlerin karakteristik özellikleri, habitatları ve üreme organları, coğrafi dağılımları ile birlikte burada sunulmuştur.

Three New and Two Confirmed Records for the Iraqi Spider Fauna (Arachnida: Araneae)

Abstract

The Iraqi spider fauna includes several dozens of species described and reported mostly by local researchers but still there are considerable sampling gaps. For the first time in Iraq, Agelena orientalis C. L. Koch 1837 (Agelenidae), Oxyopes globifer Simon, 1876 (Oxyopidae), and Thanatus formicinus (Clerck, 1757) (Philodromidae) are recorded. In addition, newly collected material of Bassaniodes tristrami (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872) (Thomisidae) and Eusparassus mesopotamicus Moradmand & Jäger, 2012 (Sparassidae) are also presented. The characteristic features, habitus and copulatory organs of all species are presented here along with their geographic distribution.

Keywords
