A revision of the spider genus Filistata (Araneae: Filistatidae)

摘要

Twenty-six species and one subspecies assigned to Filistata Latreille, 1810 are revised. The genus is rediagnosed and redelimited to encompass only 11 species, including threenewly described: S F. albens sp. n. (Israel), (J F. canariensis Schmidt, 1976 (Spain), 39 F. gomerensis Wunderlich, 1992 (Spain), c F. insidiatrix (Forsskal, 1775) (West Palaearctic), 9 F. lehtineni Marusik & Zonstein, 2014 (Azerbaijan, Iran), cJ F. lubinae sp. n. (Israel), F. maguirei Marusik & Zamani, 2015 (Iran), S9 F. pseudogomerensis Wunderlich, 1992 (Spain), $ F. pygmaea Zonstein, Marusik & Grabole, 2018 (Portugal), Sci F. teideensis Wunderlich, 1992 (Spain), and c F. wunderlichi sp. n. (Spain).Nine species earlier considered in Filistata are transferred to other genera: Labahitha gibsonhilli (Savory, 1943) comb, n., Pholcoides chiardolae (Caporiacco, 1934) comb, n., Pritha hirsuta (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872) comb, n., Pritha marginata (Kishida, 1936) comb, n., Pritha napadensis (Patel, 1975) comb, n., Tricalamus longiventris (Yaginuma, 1967) comb, n., Tricalamus tarimuensis (Hu & Wu, 1989) comb, n., Tricalamus xizanensis (Hu, Hu & Li, 1987) comb, n., and Zaitunia rufa (Caporiacco, 1934) comb, n. The following seven synonyms are recognized, five of them within the Filistatidae: Filistata delimbata Strand, 1914 syn. n. and F. puta O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1876 syn. n. = F. insidiatrix (Forsskal, 1775), F. hebraea hebraea Strand, 1914 syn. n. and F. hebraea limbomaculata Strand, 1914 syn. n. = Pritha tenuispina (Strand, 1914), F. tenerifensis Wunderlich, 1992 syn. n. = Kukulcania hibernalis (Hentz, 1842); two more synonyms are coupled with other spider families: Filistata dubia Wider, 1834 syn.n. = Haplodrassus silvestris (Blackwall, 1833) (Gnaphosidae) and F. truncata Risso, 1826 syn. n. = Pistius truncatus (Pallas, 1772) (Thomisidae). Sahastata bosmansi sp. n., based on Filistata puta sensu Wunderlich, 1995 (Algeria), is proposed. Since ithas been found that Simon's (1864) name Filistatiens (family group name) has priority over Ausserer's (1867) Filistatidae, the correct authorship should be cited as Filistatidae Simon, 1864. Illustrations for all 11 species left in Filistata are provided. Vulvae of four species are illustrated here for the first time. Kukulcania Lehtinen, 1967, earlier known exclusively from the New World, and its type species K. hibernalis (Hentz, 1842), is reported for the first time in the western Palaearctic (CanaryIslands) and West Africa (Liberia). An updated diagnosis is provided for subfamilies Filistatinae Simon, 1864 and Prithinae Gray, 1995 and genera belonging to each of them are listed. A tabular key is provided to Filistatinae genera.
