A new species of the genus Wendilgarda is described as Wendilgarda ruficeps sp. nov. from Japan. Both sexes of this species possess a bicolor body: prosoma reddish orange and opithosoma dark grey, which is useful for distinction from other congeners. The male palpal morphology of this species is similar to that of W. sinensis and W. muji, but can clearly be distinguished by the serrated edge on the posterior side of the median apophysis. The female epigyne of this species is similar to that of W. sinensis; however, it shows the smaller invagination on the posterior margin of the epigyne and the wider scape.

We surveyed habitats of an endangered burrowing wolf spider Lycosa ishikariana (Saito 1934) along the San'in coast of Tottori and Shimane Prefectures, southwestern Honshu, Japan. The species was found from eight sites covering seven different beaches from Inasa Beach (Izumo City) in the east to Toda Beach (Masuda City) in the west in Shimane Prefecture for the first time. This extends the southwestern limit of the species' range ca. 160 km westward from the Yumigahama Beach of Tottori Prefecture, the present southernmost record. In the coast of Tottori Prefecture, the species was found from 17 sites that exceed known number of records in the area. The apparent increase of the number of habitats of the species in Tottori Prefecture is probably due to a shift of survey season from the mid summer to June when density of the burrows culminates by the recruit of newly hatched spiderlings. Simple logistic regression analyses suggested that presence/absence of the species is related to any of the sand grain sizes, sorting indices, areas, lengths and maximum widths of the sandy beaches, though a multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that beach areas and sand grain size were the most significant factors. According to the models obtained, requirements for the occurrence of species were estimated to be areas>0.0313 km2 (total length>985 m, width>60 m) of sandy beach, and sand grain diameter>0.33 mm.

Araneus is a large genus containing many species with various features, and phylogenetic analysis has revealed it to be a polyphyletic group. It has been proposed that nine new genera should be established independently from Araneus. One example is a group that includes Araneus mitificus (Simon 1886) and Araneus praesignis (L. Koch 1872). In this study, we examined specimens from several species that are morphologically similar to them, and confirmed their close relationship by phylogenetic analysis using the data of five genes. All targeted species were united in a monophyletic clade, comprising two groups in detail. The epigynes and male palps of the species in these two groups were clearly distinguishable; therefore, we concluded that they should be recognized as two independent genera. Consequently, we describe two new genera, Aoaraneus n. gen. and Bijoaraneus n. gen. Additionally, previously identified Japanese Araneus mitificus specimens were reexamined and concluded to be misidentified. It is described as a new species under the name Bijoaraneus komachi n. sp. in this study.

The Taiwanese and Japanese spiders which have been identified with Cyrtophora moluccensis (Doreshall 1857) are taxonomically revised. Three color morphs, yellow-, green-, and red-types, show their own discrete monophyletic clades in the phylogenetic tree inferred by Neighbor Joining method using the partial sequences of mt-16S-rRNA genes. P-distances within group means are 0.2% in the yellow-type, 0.1% in the green-type, and 0% in the red-type. P-distances between group means are 18.8% between yellow- and green-types, 19.4% between yellow- and red-types, 10% between green- and red-types. These three color morphs can be separated also by the shapes of epigynum and male palp. Consequently we recognize them as three independent nominal species and determined the yellow-type as C. cylindroides (Walckenaer 1842), the green-type as C. moluccensis (Doleschall 1857), and the red-type as C. ikomosanensis (Bösenberg & Strand 1906).

A pseudoscorpion was found in the underfur of a feral raccoon (Procyon lotor) captured in western Tokyo in December 2019. Based on the morphological features, we identified the specimen as Haplochernes sp. This arboreal pseudoscorpion rides other arthropods and small mammals for dispersion, but little is known that the species rides medium-sized mammals such as raccoons. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of Haplochernes sp. riding a feral raccoon. Given that raccoons are an invasive species in Japan, further records of pseudoscorpions riding feral raccoons may elucidate the relationship between feral raccoons and pseudoscorpions.

In this short paper, we report the predation of an orb-weaving spider Neoscona sp. (Araneae: Araneidae) by a corinnid sac spider Corinnomma severum (Araneae: Corinnidae) from Thailand. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of predation of web-building spider by a spider of the genus Corinnomma observed in the field.

A new araneid species Zygiella hiramatsui n. sp. is described using specimens obtained from Amami-ôshima Island, Japan. This species can be distinguished from allied Z. dispar by the much wider median area of the epigyne, or an unnamed apophysis neighboring the embolus that is short and truncated and a horn shaped apophysis of the tegulum in the male palp. It is uncommon for Zygiella spiders to inhabit subtropical regions, but this is the case for Z. hiramatsui n. sp. So it might be introduced previously into Amami-ôshima Is. from unknown habitat.

Spiders in the genus Cyrtophora Simon, 1864 often incorporate debris and egg sacs in their webs. Based on a survey of online digital imagery, I report here that at least three species in this genus also include silk decorations: C. cylindroides (Walckenaer 1841), C. ikomosanensis (Bösenberg & Strand 1906), and C. moluccensis (Doleschall 1857). These species lay single to multiple zigzagging silk strips in an arcuate, looping, or spiral pattern often centred about the web’s hub. However, small juveniles and males installed scattered floc-like silk in the barrier strands below the web. The most commonly observed decorator, C. moluccensis, displayed the devices in only 13.9% of observed webs (n = 465), lower than most other silk-decorating spiders. The discovery of novel spider behaviour and web structure is considerably aided by online databases of natural-history observations.

名古屋市におけるクサグモの生活史を調査した. クサグモは年1世代であった. 1齢幼体は3月下旬から4月上旬に卵嚢から出現し, 成体になるまでに6回の脱皮を行った. 雌雄は同時期に成体になり, 産卵は8月中下旬にみられた. ほとんどの網は, ヒサカキ, ネズミモチ, ツゲなど硬く小さい葉が密生した木に造られた. 雌当たり産卵数は, 雌の体サイズ, 特に産卵直前の体重と正の相関があった. クモの体サイズと産卵数を2つの生息地すなわち開けた場所と雑木林の間で比較した. 開けた場所の成体のサイズおよび産卵数は, 雑木林の個体に比べて有意に小さかった. これは, 開けた場所の生息地では餌供給が制限されているためであると考えられた.

Japanese spiders of the genus Dolomedes are revised and its phylogeny is inferred by mt-DNA. Dolomedes japonicus Bösenberg & Strand 1906 and D. angustivirgatus Kishida 1936 are removed from the synonymy. Dolomedes fimbriatoides Bösenberg & Strand 1906 and D. hinoi Kayashima 1952 are newly synonymized with D. sulfureus L. Koch 1878, and D. stellatus Kishida 1936 is synonimized with D. japonicus. Two new species, D. fontus and D. silvicola are described. Relative leg length and proportion of male palpal tibia are considered as good keys to indentify Dolomedes spiders, whose genital organs closely resemble one another. Dolomedes sulfureus and D. silvicola, often found on vegetation, have much longer legs and male palpal tibia than their relatives that inhabit near water and run on water surface or hide under water when disturbed. Molecular phylogenetic analysis using mt-COI revealed the following; ((((raptor, yawatai), japonica), orion), (((angustivirgatus, sulfureus), fontus), (silvicola, saganus)), horishanus).

We report the occurrence of a gynandromorph of the funnel-web spider Allagelena opulenta collected by a Malaise trap set in a Japanese cedar plantation on Mt. Aikodake, Yakushima Island, Japan. This specimen presents a transverse gynandry, with the anterior half of the body male and the posterior one female. The epigyne is abnormally developed, and the shape of the epigynal opening is deformed compared to that in normal females. This is the first case of gynandromorphy observed in this genus.
