On new and interesting records of spiders from northern Pakistan and India (Aranei)

摘要

The present work shows new faunis-tic and taxonomic data on nine species from Northern Pakistan and India belonging to the families Gnaphosidae, Lycosidae and Theridiidae. Berlandina af-ghana Denis, 1958, Parasyrisca alai Ovtsharenko, Plat-nick et Marusik, 1995, Pardosa algoides Schenkel, 1963, and Leptodrassex memorialis (Spassky, 1940) are reported for the first time in the Pakistanian fauna; Pardosa haupti Song, 1995, is new for India and Gna-phosa dege Ovtsharenko, Platnick et Song, 1992 and Enoplognatha diodonta Zhu et Zhang, 1992, are new for both the countries. New distribution data are provided for Micaria lenzi Bosenberg, 1899 and M. pul-cherrima Caporiacco, 1935. Berlandina afghana Denis, 1958 is removed from the synonymy of B. plumalis (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872). An unusual structure was found and illustrated in epigyne of Leptodrassex memorialis. All nine species are illustrated and comments on their taxonomy and distribution are provided.
