Gnaphosa tunevae

description: Gnaphosa tunevae sp. n.
Figs 31–34, Map 1.
Material examined. MONGOLIA: holotype ♀ (Nr.555, Kaszab Mongolia, MNHB), Bayanhkogor Aimak: Changaj Gebirge, 120 km W von Somon Zag, 2280 m, 21.06.1966 (Z. Kaszab).
Etymology. Species name is a patronym in honour of our colleague Tatiana Tuneva (Yekaterinburg), a Russian arachnologist who studies gnaphosids.
Diagnosis. The new species differs from all known congeners by the scape with two pockets (or sockets, (Pp) (one pocket in other species), triangle shaped fovea and high (anterior) position of lateral margins pockets. The epigyne of G. tunevae sp. n. is similar to that of Gnaphosa sp. 2 in Marusik & Logunov (1995: f. 65) from Tuva, but the two species differ by shape of the vulva and scape.
Description. Total length 9.75. Carapace 4.7 long, 3.2 wide. Carapace dark brown with two diverging wide stripes going forward from fovea (Fig. 31). Edges somewhat darker than other part of carapace. Sternum, labium, maxillae dark and chelicerae brown. Abdomen grayish with four spots in upper part of dorsal side. Legs brown. Metatarsi and tarsi of leg I and II with scopulae.
Legs spination: femora I 2 d, 1p; II 2 d, 2r; III 2 d, 2(4)p, 2r; IV 2 d, 2(3)p, 1r; patellae: III 1 r, other without spines; tibiae I 1-2 apical; II 1–2 apical; III 1 d, 2p, 3r, 2- 2v and 2 apical; IV 4 p, 4r, 2- 2v and 2 apical; metatarsi I 1- 1v; II 1- 1v; III 4 p, 4r, 2- 2v and 4 apical; IV 6 p, 4r, 2- 2v and 4 apical. Length of legs joints as shown in Table 3.
Epigyne as in Figs 32-34; fovea triangle shaped; scape wider than high, with two shallow pockets comparable in size to pockets of lateral margins; lateral margins almost straight, pockets located near anterior margin of margins; copulatory ducts long, almost vertical, receptacles spread horizontally; glands relatively short with club like head.
Distribution. Type locality only.

For a complete synonym listing and references see Platnick (2014).
Material examined. MONGOLIA: Chovd Aimag: 1♂ (Nr. 631, Kaszab Mongolia, MNHB) 10 km SSW von Somon Bulgan, 1200 m, 4–5.07.1966.
Comments. According to Platnick’s (2014) catalogue, this species is found in China only. The distribution map (Map 4) in Ovtsharenko et al. (1992) indicates the northeasternmost locality as Urumqi. This locality refers to the type of G. rudolfi Schenkel, 1963. The holotype of this species was collected by G.N. Potanin in an unknown locality during his 1884–1886 expedition to central and eastern China, which did not include a visit to Xinjiang. The type locality of this species should lie somewhere east of 100°E. The specimen from Mongolia represents the northernmost record of the species and the first record outside of China.

For a complete synonym listing and references see Platnick (2014)
Material examined. FINLAND: 1♀ (ZMUT), Meltaus, indoors, 30.06.1973 (K. Suormala). RUSSIA: Novosibirsk Area: 5♀ (ISEA), Toguchin Dist., 5–7 km SW of Lebedevo Vil., ca. 54°54’N, 84°18’E, steppe on slope, 25–350 m, 22– 25.07.1996 (D.V. Logunov). Khabarovsk Province: 1♀ (IBPN), Shantar Islands, 2003 (M. Skopets).
Comments. This species is listed in Platnick (2014) as having a Palaearctic range; however, the easternmost records lie in Cisbaikalia (Ovtsharenko et al. 1992; Izmailova 1989). These records are based on females only. The other previously known record in Asia lies 2000 km west of Cisbaikalia near Omsk (Ovtsharenko et al. 1992). The present record from the Novosibirsk area is also far away from Cisbaikalia (over 1300 km). Figures of specimens found in Xinjiang (Zhao 1993), undoubtedly refer to Gnaphosa licenti Schenkel, 1963. Specimens from Shantar Islands (Figs 42–43) and the Novosibirsk Area have no significant differences with those from Finland (Figs 44–45). It appears that Gnaphosa montana has Palaearctic disjunctive range and occurs across Europe, with isolated populations present in West Siberia, Cisbaikalia and on the Shantar Islands.

Material examined. MONGOLIA, Omnogov Aimag: 6♂, 9♀ (IBPN), Bayandalai Somon, Zoolen uul (Mt. Range), 43°21’N 103°11’E, 1700 m, 27– 30.05.1997 (Yu.M.

Bayankongor Aimag: 4♂ (IBPN), Gervanbulag Somon, Knokh-Nuur (Lake), 47°32’N 98°32’, 2600 m, 7– 10.06.1997 (Yu.M. Marusik).
Comments. It is worth mentioning that the figures of epigynes of G. gracilior in Ovtsharenko et al. (1992: figs 170 and 175) undoubtedly refer to two different species. Figure 175 (Fig. 90 in this paper) looks like a figure of the syntype female of G. potanini Simon, 1895 (Fig. 91), while figure 170 (Fig. 89) is similar to females illustrated in this paper (Figs 86–87). The species illustrated in Figs 90–91 have a thinner scape with an undivided pocket and long lateral margins reaching the scape, while in the species illustrated by Figs 86–89, the scape is much wider, its pocket partly subdivided and lateral margins not reaching level of scape.
Gnaphosa gracilior has considerable variation in body size, and also in size of epigyne and palp (cf. Figs 82–83 and 84).
Notes. The syntype of Gnaphosa potanini (Fig. 91), thought to be a holotype, was illustrated by Marusik & Logunov (1995: fig 37). According to Simon (1895) all type specimens (syntypes) were collected in Western Mongolia (“Valleo de Dserge et rive merid. du lac Chara ussu (7– 12.04.1877); Udsjur (Mingyn) au Gobi (24.06.1877)”) and the south part of Russian Altai (“sources de la riviere Toshongty au vesant occ. du Sailugem (14.06.1879)”). Three localities lie west of 94°E (Map 2, closed circles), but in Ovtsharenko et al. (1992) the distribution map (Map 12) and “material examined” indicates its occurrence exclusively east of Anhui (east of 116°E) to Japan (Map 2, open circles). So, G. potanini sensu Ovtsharenko et al. (1992) is most likely misidentified and therefore G. silvicola Kamura, 1988, considered by Ovtsharenko et al. (1992) as a junior synonym of G. potanini, is a valid name.

For complete synonym listing and references see Platnick (2014).
Material examined. KAZAKHSTAN, Kokchetav [now Akmola] Area: 3♂ (ISEA), Kuibyshevsk Dist., Rudeevskiy State Farm, ca 67°N, 53°E, 1982 (I.V.Knor).
Comments. Schenkel (1963) described this species under six different names. Five species were described on the basis of females, and one by male (G. braendegaardi). This species seems have the longest embolus of the Palaearctic species. Teeth or ridge on the basis of embolus are lacking or strongly reduced.
Distribution. This species was recently reported from Kazakhstan for the first time by Gromov (2011). His record lies 250 km east from the current record, which is the northeasternmost in the whole range. Gnaphosa mandschurica is known from northern Kazakhstan to Eastern Mongolia and neighbouring Inner Mongolia, and from Nepal to Gansu.

Hellinsia zakarae

description: Hellinsia zakarae Ustjuzhanin & Kovtunovich, sp. nov. (Figs. 1–2)
Type material: Holotype, male, (ZMJU 201611), LIBERIA, Nimba Mountains East Nimba Nature Reserve Camp Site on Cellcom Road, 7°31'44.66"N, 8°31'38.81"W, 14–25.xii.2015, Sz., Sáfián; Paratype, male, (CUK 299), same data as holotype.
Description. External characters. Head with brown hair-like scales, thorax and tegula yellow. Labial palpus thin, straight, short, half eye diameter. Antenna yellowish grey, scape significantly thickened. Wingspan 18 mm. Fore wing yellow, interspersed with small brown scales. Dark brown elongated commalike spot in front of cleft. Three brown strokes on outer edge of second lobe. Fringe inside cleft unicolorous, pale yellow. Hind wing yellow, fringe between lobes yellow grey. Hind leg pale yellow, spurs distinctly brown.
Male genitalia. Valvae oval, asymmetric. Harpe on left valva as a large sclerotized trunk, widened at base and bent in distal part at an acute angle to form three split needles. Finger-like harpe on right valva basally. Uncus straight, tapered, apex slightly bent. Saccus concave, arched. Anellus arms of different length, right arm significantly wider and longer than left. Phallus thin, ¾ of valva length, slightly bent in middle, cornutus narrow, spinous, located in median part of phallus.
Female unknown.
Diagnosis. The wing colour of the new species is similar to Hellinsia madecasseus (Bigot, 1964), but it is distinguished by the specific structure of the harpe on the left valva; such structures have not been observed in other species.
Distribution. Liberia.
Flight period. December.
Etymology. The new species is named in honour of the Hungarian entomologist and bee specialist Erika Zakar, who assisted Sáfián's field work in the Putu Range in December 2009 and January 2010.

Type material: Holotype, male, (ZMJU 201612), LIBERIA, Nimba Mountains East Nimba Nature Reserve Radio Masts, 7°31'44.66"N, 8°31'38.81"W, 14–25.xii.2015, Sz., Sáfián; Paratypes, 2 females, (ZMJU 201613, CUK 300), same data as holotype.
Description. External characters. Head with brown hair-like scales, thorax and tegula yellow. Labial palpus thin, straight, tapered, in length equal to longitudinal eye diameter. Antenna brown, pectinate. Wingspan 14 mm. Fore wing yellowish grey, interspersed with small brown scales. Dark brown elongated spot in front of cleft. Spots of brown scales on first lobe in apical part. Second lobe noticeably darkened with brown scales. Fringe inside cleft dark brown. Hind wing unicolorous, yellowish grey, fringe between lobes yellow grey. Hind leg yellow.
Male genitalia. Valvae oval, asymmetric. Harpe on left valva thin, long, slightly bent, its apex extends beyond middle of valva length. Right valva noticeably narrowed in distal part, well expressed sclerotized fold in middle part. Uncus straight, apex tapered. Saccus concave, arched. Anellus arms short, widened basally, narrowed apically. Left arm noticeably shorter and narrower than right. Phallus thin, ¾ of valva length, bent in distal part.
Female genitalia. Papillae anales wide, triangle. Posterior apophyses thin, three times as long as papillae anales. Anterior apophyses short, forked. Antrum short, rather wide, tubulate, located in left part of VIII sternum. Ductus short, wide, smoothly passing into pear-like bursa copulatrix. Bursa with two long ribbon-like signa.
Diagnosis. In male genitalia, by the asymmetric valvae and the phallus bent in the distal part, the new species is close to Hellinsia anikini Ustjuzhanin & Kovtunovich, 2016, but differs from it by the shape of the harpe on left valva. In female genitalia, the new species is similar to Hellinsia ambo Ustjuzhanin & Kovtunovich, 2011 in the form of bursa copulatrix and the long ribbon-like signa, but differs from it by the posterior apophysis not being widened at apex and by the anterior forked apophyses.
Distribution. Liberia.
Flight period. December.
Etymology. The new species is named in honour of the Austrian entomologist and conservationist Martin Strausz who assisted Sáfián's field work in the Putu Range in 2011 and in the Nimba Mountains in 2012.

Figures 11D, 35 C–D; Tables 1, 2
Material examined. One specimen (NHMD-231449, Table 1).
Description. Complete specimen, not well-preserved, 11 mm long and 1.0 mm wide (Fig. 35 C–D), mature female, with numerous intra-coelomic oocytes. Anterior thoracic segments (TC1−5) ventrally white. General bran- chial structure not well defined because the state of preservation, not clearly corresponding to any species described in this work.
Distribution and bathymetry. South Africa (off Cape Point); 110 m depth (Fig. 11D; Table 1).
Remarks. Terebellides stroemii was widely reported by Day (1967) along the coasts of South Africa, including Cape Point, nearby where this specimen was collected. This author provided a brief description of his material but did not mention explicitly where it was collected. However, these specimens clearly differ from Terebellides sp. 2 at least in two characters: larger body size (up to 70 mm) and a much larger shelf-like mouth lower lip (Day, 1967: Fig. 36.1. f-g). Moreover, Day’s drawings show well-developed anterior and posterior branchial lobes, posterior ventral ones being shorter than dorsal ones and not fused to the latter (although reported as “partially fused” in the description); such drawings illustrate the TC6 geniculate chaetae and the thoracic and abdominal uncini but, unfortunately, these characters could not be examined in detail in our specimen without causing irreversible damage. This set of characters does not allow us to assign this specimen neither to any of the above described species nor to Day’s material.

Pseudopallene Wilson 1878
Australian Pseudopallene species—including those reported herein—differ from the type species P. circularis collected from the fjord of Scotland’s Forth River (Firth of Forth), in the ventralized position of the proboscis, which is in some species tapering, and the mostly glabrous body and legs. On the other hand, they share the massive cheliphores, the sometimes irregular, knobby fingers, and some degree of neck constriction (Goodsir 1842; Hedgpeth 1948). A comparison of colouration and some diagnostic characters among species proposed here and other South-Australian Pseudopallene species is presented in Table 3.

Figs. 3 E, 8A–D
Material examined: (S922218) 1 female (PSE5a), 2 males (PSE5, 5b), 1 sub-adult (PSE11), Nov-2009, Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania, on Orthoscuticella spp., Boulder Point, 5–10 m depth.
Remarks: This species is readily distinguished by the undivided pre-ocular surface (Fig. 8 A), the irregular surface of the longer leg articles (Fig. 8 B) and the prominent propodal heel with paired heel spines arranged in a Vshape (Fig. 8 D). The Tasmanian material is in good agreement with the description of specimens from South Australia and Victoria regarding the shape of abdomen and proboscis, the oviger spine formula: 14:9:9:8, the terminal oviger claw (Fig.8 C), and the orange colouration (Staples 2005). Judging from some of the drawings in Stevenson (2003) (especially his fig. 16, p. 39), he might have already investigated P. re fl ex a specimens from Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania, but erroneously assigned them to P. pachycheira. The irregular surface on the legs of P. re f l e x a might be confuseded with the more regular leg constrictions in P. pachycheira when small individuals (e.g. sub-adults) are only casually examined by the naked eye.

Figs. 2 E, 3G, 9A–D
Material examined: (S922219) 1 sub-adult (TAS28), 26 Jan 2007, Fortescue Bay, 21 m depth in kelp forest; 1 female (PSE7), 1 male (PSE7a), 2 sub-adults (PSE7b, PSE12), (S92221) 2 post-embryonic stages (PSE12a, b) (no DNA available), Nov-26 2009, Patterson Arch, Eaglehawk Neck, 10–15 m depth, on Orthoscuticella spp; 3 postembryonic stages (PSE9, PSE9a, b), Nov-22 2009, Boulder Point, 5–10 m depth.
Remarks: The adult morphology of the Tasmanian specimens corresponds to the species description based on material from South Australia (Staples 2008), especially the diagnostic short neck (Fig. 9 A), the distinct longitudinal cuticular division line on the cephalon (Fig. 9 B), the oviger compound spine count (8:7:6: 6 in specimen PSE7) (Fig. 9 C) and the propodus configuration (Fig. 9 D). One character to add to the description of the species is the uniform red-orange colour on body and legs in live adults, sub-adults and post-embryonic stages at least for the Tasmanian specimens (Fig. 2 E). Clark (1963) described P. dubia based on material from Port Arthur, Tasmania, with different types of chela shapes. Some specimens had a characteristic delicately-curved tube-like elongation of the movable finger, whereas others were lacking this feature. Staples (2005) already proved the P. dubia specimens to represent late developmental stages of Pseudopallene rather than fully grown adults, without assigning them to a species. So far, post-embryonic stages of different Pseudopallene species have been shown to exhibit the tube-like projection of the movable chela finger, e.g., in P. watsonae Staples, 2005 or in P. constricta sp. nov. (see below, see also Brenneis et al. 2011b). A detailed morphological description of our genetically identified orange-red post-embryonic stages of P. brevicephala from Tasmanian is still underway. However, first observations have shown that the movable chela finger of these individuals lacks the distal tube-like extension, similar to some of the specimens investigated by Clark (1963). This strongly indicates that (1) Clark confounded developmental stages of different species, his material probably including P. brevicephala besides other congeners and that (2) those post-embryonic stages having been cautiously assigned to P. brevicephala by Staples (2008) might in fact belong to another species, since they exhibit the distinctive tube-like elongation of the movable chela finger. This is the first record of P. brevicephala from Tasmania.

Figs. 2 F, 3H, 10A–D
Material examined: (S92220) 1 female (PSE8), 1 sub-adult (PSE11a), on Orthoscuticella spp., Nov- 24 2009, Fog Rock, Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania, 10–17 m depth; (S92222) 1 sub-adult (TAS21), Jan-26 2007, in kelp forest, Fortescue Bay, Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania, 21 m depth.
Remarks: This species is easily recognised by the distinct constrictions on the three longer leg articles (Fig. 10 C). The chela fingers are short and stout, the movable finger with a mid-point lobe on the cutting edge (Fig. 10 B). The cephalon shows a clear longitudinal division in frontal view (Fig. 10 A) and the propodus is curved with six large heel spines and a long terminal claw (Fig. 10 D). Interestingly, the live female specimen showed a yellow colouration with an orange banding pattern on body and legs (Fig. 2 F), which seems to deviate from the orangebrownish colouration previously reported (Staples 1997, 2008).

Tropidoturris

description: Genus Tropidoturris Kilburn, 1986
Type species: Pleurotoma (Drillia) scitecostata Sowerby, 1903
Remarks. According to Kilburn (1986), Tropidoturris is an endemic genus represented by five species and one subspecies from the continental shelf and slope of southeastern Africa. The genus is morphologically very distinctive being characterized by its biconical shape, strong shoulder keel, deep anal sinus and paucispiral protoconch. Kilburn (1986: 645) compared Tropidoturris with Corinnaeturris Bouchet & Warén, 1980 and Carinotropis Bernasconi & Robba, 1984. However, members of Corinnaeturris have shouldered but not keeled teleoconch whorls, a granulose surface, and carinate protoconch whorls. The genus Corinnaeturris is currently assigned to the family Clathurellidae H. Adams & A. Adams, 1858. Similarly, Carinotropis, based on Carinotropis nitida Bernasconi & Robba, 1984 from the Pliocene of Italy (considered by Della Bella & Scarponi (2007) a junior synonym of the Miocene Drillia michelottii var. minima Montanaro, 1937) has a carinate protoconch and a much shorter base than Tropidoturris. In Tropidoturris scitecostata (Sowerby, 1903), type species of the genus, the sculpture is predominantly axial while in other members, such as T. fossata notialis Kilburn, 1986, T. simplicicingula simplicicingula (Barnard, 1958), T. simplicicingula pondo Kilburn, 1986 and T. planilirata Kilburn, 1986, it is spiral. In T. fossata (Sowerby, 1903) and T. anaglypta Kilburn, 1986 the axial ribs are weak and “crenellate the shoulder keel” (Kilburn, 1986: 645). Operculum and radula were described by Kilburn (1986: 645).
