Three New Records for Spider (Arachnida: Araneae) Fauna of Türkiye
Öz
As a result of the study carried out in Bayburt province, 3 new records for Türkiye were identified. These species are Agyneta fuscipalpus (C. L. Koch, 1836), Micaria lenzi Bösenberg, 1899 and Synaphris lehtineni Marusik, Gnelitsa & Kovblyuk, 2005. The genus Synaphris Simon, 1894, belonging to the family Synaphridae, which has a very rare distribution, is represented by 11 species worldwide. Only 4 of these species are distributed in Europe. Synaphris lehtineni Marusik, Gnelitsa & Kovblyuk, 2005 is extremely important as it represents the first recorded species of the family Synaphridae in Türkiye. The genus Agyneta Hull, 1911, belonging to the family Linyphiidae, one of the largest spider families in the world, has 201 species globally. Of these, 43 are also found in Europe. Agyneta fuscipalpus (C. L. Koch, 1836) has been added as a new record to the genus, which previously had only 3 species in Türkiye. The genus Micaria Westring, 1851, of the family Gnaphosidae, which has a wide distribution, is represented by 124 species worldwide. Of these, 34 are also found in Europe. Until now, 11 species of this genus have been identified from Türkiye. With this study, Micaria lenzi Bösenberg, 1899 has been recorded for the first time in Türkiye. The samples were collected from rocky areas and under stones. The specimens were identified using a stereomicroscope and photographed using a digital camera. The morphological characteristics and photographs of the new records are presented with their detailed descriptions.
