Two new records for Genus Zelotes from Turkey (Araneae: Gnaphosidae)
Abstract
In this study,
Zelotes daidalus Chatzaki, 2003 and Z.
fulvaster (Simon, 1878) species from the family Gnaphosidae
were included in the araneofauna of Turkey for the first time. Although the
epigynum and vulva structures of female samples are similar to each other, the
difference in the structures of the copulatory ducts is easily identifiable.
It’s connect to proximal of the spermatheca in Z. daidalus
unlike It’s connect to distal of the spermatheca in Z. fulvaster. In this study, the epigyne and vulvae structures
of specimens were examined in detail.
