Cheiracanthium rupestre Herman, 1879, and Xysticus albomaculatus Kulczyński, 1891, both originally described from Hungary,are among the most rarely reported species of their genera in Europe. Here we report that both of these species have very close relationshipsto similarly uncommon species originally described from France at about the same time. The specimens currently consideredas Cheiracanthium rupestre turn out to be very closely related to, but distinct from, Cheiracanthium striolatum Simon, 1878. However,the original description of C. rupestre does not match these specimens nor any other known species of Cheiracanthium. We thereforeconsider C. rupestre a nomen dubium and suggest that all previous records of this species after the original description actually refer toCheiracanthium macedonicum Drensky, 1921. Xysticus albomaculatus, on the other hand, turns out to be a junior synonym of Bassanianabaudueri (Simon, 1877) syn. nov., expanding the range of this species considerably to the East and at the same time confirming that it isa genuine European species, rather than a recent immigrant from North America as previously suspected.

Diagnosis. This species is similar to O. imbrex Tang & Li, 2010 and O. wuchangensis Tang & Song, 1988 (Tang & Li 2010: p.41–44, figs 28–30; Tang & Song 1988: p.246–248, figs 4–10). The female is similar to those species in having an epigynal hood and lateral epigynal sclerites, but can be distinguished by: 1) the larger body size: 4.80–7.20 (2.90–3.50 in O. imbrex, 3.5 in O. wuchangensis); 2) the slender copulatory ducts. The male can be distinguished from O. imbrex by the tegulum with raised ridge and the intermediate tibial apophysis (ITA) without bifurcation (tegulum with 3 apophyses, ITA bifurcated in O. imbrex); the male can be distinguished from O. wuchangensis by: the slender embolus, the long ITA (embolus short, ITA much shorter in O. wuchangensis). Description. Female: Total length 4.05, cephalothorax 2.23 long, 2.18 wide; abdomen 1.87 long, 2.24 wide. Cephalothorax dorsally blackish brown with “V”-shaped yellowish brown markings (Fig. 1), covered with clavate setae (Fig. 1). Cervical grooves, radial grooves and fovea visible. Eye tubercles yellowish brown; eye measurements: anterior lateral eye 0.19, posterior lateral eye 0.13, anterior median eye 0.07, posterior median eye 0.07; distance between anterior median eyes 0.33, distance between anterior median eye and anterior lateral eye 0.18, distance between posterior median eyes 0.30, distance between posterior median eye and posterior lateral eye 0.40, median ocular area length 0.28 with front width 0.46 and back width 0.44. Chelicerae dark brown, endites and labium greyish brown, sternum greyish brown with blackish brown spots. Femora I–IV with blackish brown spots. Tibiae and metatarsi I–II with 3 pairs of ventral spines. Leg measurements: I 6.70 (2.20, 2.40, 1.20, 0.90), II 6.80 (2.20, 2.50, 1.20, 0.90), III 4.20 (1.50, 1.60, 0.60, 0.50), IV 4.30 (1.50, 1.70, 0.60, 0.50), leg formula 2143. Abdomen covered dorsally with rows of short clavate setae. Abdomen dorsally greyish black with blackish brown markings, ventrally grayish brown with blackish brown spots. Epigyne (Figs 9–10, 13–14). Epigyne anteriorly with a hood, a pair of lateral sclerites which cover copulatory openings; copulatory ducts slender, twisted; spermatheca convoluted. Male: Smaller than female, somatic coloration darker than in female. The clavate setae on cephalothorax are not obvious in darken specimens while they can be observed in lighten ones (Fig 2, 3). Measurements. Total length 4.20, cephalothorax 2.30 long, 2.30 wide; abdomen 2.10 long, 2.10 wide. Cephalothorax dorsally blackish brown (Fig. 2). Tibiae and metatarsi I– II with 3 pairs of ventral spines. Leg measurements: I 8.00 (2.40, 2.80, 1.80, 1.00), II 8.40 (2.60, 3.00, 1.80, 1.00), III 5.30 (1.80, 1.80, 1.00, 0.70), IV 5.50 (2.00, 1.80, 1.00, 0.70), leg formula 2143. Palp (Figs 6–8, 11–12). Tibia with stout, hooked ventral apophysis, digitiform intermediate apophysis and long retrolateral apophysis. Palp with raised basal tegular ridge, embolus slender. Variation. Total length: ♂ 4.00–4.55 (n=17, a dwarf male specimen only 3.50); ♀ 4.80–7.20 (n=6). The abdominal markings of both sexes vary in coloration and size. The “V”-shaped marking on cephalothorax can also be observed in some male specimens. The dwarf male specimen shows un-symmetrically developed palps: the left one developed while the right one un-developed (Figs 4, 5). Distribution. China (Gansu, Hunan).

Comments The type material of this species is not available, but KOCH ���s figure 21 (1882) allows a positive identification with respect to the tegular apophysis of specimens collected by us in Spain and North Africa. The tegulum has an oblique banana-shaped tegular apophysis with two postero-median concavities (compare Figs 24 and 25). Such an apophysis exists in three Ozyptila species occurring in this region: O. pauxilla Simon, 1870, O. perplexa Simon, 1875 and O. bicuspis Simon, 1932. Koch���s species also has two postero-median incisions, and these are absent in O. pauxilla and O. perplexa. We consider O. furcula and O. biscuspis the same species and O. bicuspis Simon, 1932 becomes a junior synonym of O. furcula L. Koch, 1882. Ozyptila pauxilla and O. perplexa will be redescribed in a separate paper.

Ozyptila. utotchkini can be separated from all other members of O. rauda- group by the copulatory organs. The epigyne of this species has no visible fovea, but a strong extension of the epigynal plate, while other species in the group have distinct fovea (cf. Dondale & Redner 1975: figs 103���107; Hippa et al. 1986: figs 2 a���f, 3 a���c; Ono et al. 1990: fig. 33). The male can be easily distinguished by the shape of the tegular and tibial apophyses. Description. Female (n= 6): Total length 3.15���3.75. Carapace: 1.55���1.63 long, 1.53���1.55 wide, light brown with dark margins and a pair of dark stripes behind eyes, median band is light yellow, and the sides are variegated. The abdomen is variegated with light brown without a distinct pattern, but with more or less distinct white transverse stripes. The legs are light brown with dark femora. Tibia I and II with 2 pairs of ventral spines. Metatarsi I and II with 3 pairs of ventral spines. Epigyne as in Figs 1 ���6, 10��� 12, with fovea turned upward and hidden by an extension of the plate (Ee), the upper part of which has transverse wrinkles (Figs 1, 4���5, 10��� 12). The upper part of the plate in the penultimate female (Fig. 4) is weakly sclerotized, and paler than the other parts of epigyne, while in mature females, the upper part of the plate is most heavily sclerotized (Fig. 5). Copulatory openings are located in the fovea (Ef, Figs 3, 10) and visible only in the anterior view. Male (n= 3): Total length 2.7���3.2. Carapace: 1.543���1.63 long, 1.43���1.63 wide, dark brown, with light median band, and a pair of light submarginal stripes. The abdomen is brown, with dark and light transverse stripes. The legs of the male are darker than those of the female, with the femora dark brown. The palp is as in Figs 7���9, with three tibial apophyses: long transverse proventral (Pa), digiform retroventral (Ra) and spine���like retrolateral (Rt); bulbus with large tegular apophysis extending tegulum (Ta), the free part of embolus (Em) is short and makes an entire loop; portion of free embolus with serrate margin (Figs 9���11). Remarks. This species was named after the well���known Soviet arachnologist Alexander S. Utotchkin who made important contributions to the study of the Thomisidae of the former USSR. The male palp of this species has a typical conformation for the O. rauda- group, while the female genitalia appear unusual. In fact, it is so unusual, that although the senior author had female specimens on hand while describing the male, it was decided that these females were not conspecific with the males. However, additional collecting has convinced us from the opposite. The conformation of the epigyne of this species is more similar to those of the genus Cozyptila, in particular C. blackwalli (Simon, 1875) and C. guseinovorum Marusik & Kovblyuk, 2005. All these species have extensions of the epigynal plate which bears the copulatory opening. The epigyne of O. utotchikini resembles that of O. gasanensis Paik, 1985, described from the holotype female from Korea, which is lost. It is impossible to conclude from Paik���s figures (Paik 1985: figs 4���5) whether the two species should be synonymised or not. However, from the figures, differences do exist. For instance, the epigynal plate of Korean specimen has no transverse wrinkles, and has longitudinal receptacula which are distinctly thicker than in the Russian specimens. When topotype females of O. gasanensis are found or males of O. utotchkini are collected in Korea it will be possible to conclude whether or not the two species are conspecific. Distribution. This species is known only from the southern half of Maritime Province (Fig. 13) in eastern Russia. Its occurrence in adjacent Korea and Northeast China is very likely., Published as part of Marusik, Yuri M. & Omelko, Mikhail M., 2008, First description of the female of Ozyptila utotchkini (Araneae: Thomisidae), pp. 65-68 in Zootaxa 1823 on pages 65-67, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.274389, {"references":["Marusik, Y.

The specific name is a noun in apposition referring to the type locality. Description. Male with almost black prosoma encircled by fine, white line and dorsally with median yellow brown band. Opisthosoma deep brown with short median row of light, indistinct spots. Legs dark coloured except for fine white line around articulations. Female generally beige to brown with a few dark spots; prosoma encircled by fine, white line and with partly brown sides. Male. Measurements (holotype + 2 ����; holotype listed first): total length 2.4, 2.1���2.4; carapace length 1.2, 1.0��� 1.2, width 1.1, 1.0��� 1.1, index 1.09, 1.05���1.14; femur II length 0.9, 0.75���0.85, width 0.28, 0.24���0.26, length/width 3.21, 3.13���3.54. Palpus. Cymbium with fine whitish, finger-like tutaculum (t; Figs. 59, 60). Strongly twisted tip of embolus bends medially almost reaching large, brown sclerotic median apophysis (Figs. 58���60). Tibia bears fine, slightly inclined, ventral apophysis and thick, robust retrolateral apophysis (Figs. 58���60). Female.

Deep black pigmented, poorly differentiated, sclerotic coils encircle small light concavity at center (Fig. 61). Spermathecal tubes with deep brown anterior diverticulum-like ramification (Fig. 62). Diagnosis. The genitalic features of Ozyptila sedotmikha n. sp. resemble very closely those of the European O. sanctuaria (O.P.-Cambridge). The two, however, can be separated by subtle details of the hump on the tegular surface of the male palpus, the shape of the median apophysis, and the configuration of the epigynal plate of the female and the shape of the spermathecae. These characters also distinguish O. sedotmikha n. sp. from all other Ozyptila species. FIGURES 61���64. 61, 62. Ozyptila sedotmikha n. sp. ��. 61. Epigynum, ventral view. 62.

Patella with two stout apophyses. Tibia with ventral apophysis consisting of slender, reclining shaft and hammer-like expansion at tip, and ectally with strong, tapering retrolateral apophysis (Figs. 53���55); cymbium apically slightly notched on mesal side (Figs. 54, 55); tegulum bears two different blackish apophyses: one stubby at center, and below it one with pointed tips; embolus bends apically nearly at right angle (Figs. 53���55). Female. Measurements (8 ����): total length 3.6���4.1; carapace length 1.5���1.8, width 1.4���1.8, index 1.0��� 1.1; femur II length 1.1���1.4, width 0.40���0.45, length/width 2.75���3.11. Epigynum. Round, swollen anterior part with median keel-like embossment occasionally forming septumlike prominence (Fig. 56). Sclerotic rims of posterior epigynal plate converge at center under fine, nearly transparent, funnel-shaped concavity. Spermathecae consist of small median, ovoid yellow bodies connected by brown tubes to lateral trapezoidal bodies with yellow scooped centers (Fig. 57). Diagnosis. The shape of the patellar and tibial apophyses and the embolar trajectory of the male palpus of O. clavigera resemble very closely those of the allopatric O. patellibidens Levy. However, the two can be separated by the shape of the tegular apophyses and the notched cymbium. The females of both species resemble each other in general but the shape of the epigynal plate and the shape of the spermathecae differ distinctly also from all other Ozyptila species. Distribution. Israel: central, mesic parts of the country. Records: Nazareth (O.P.- Cambridge 1872), Sedot Mikha, Har Sansan Reserve (696459 / 508994), Zekharya, Ramat Avishur (681583 / 502691), Nehusha. Comments. Adults were collected in January, March, May and November by using pitfall traps. The hitherto unknown male is described for the first time and the newly described female was so far known only by the syntypes collected in 1865. Originally, O.P.- Cambridge (1872) mentioned two females from Israel: one from Nazareth and another from the Plains of the Jordan. The respective vial, however, contains three females, two of which match O. clavigera while the third female belongs to an unknown Ozyptila species. O. clavigera as of present knowledge occurs in relatively mesic parts of Israel (e.g. Nazareth), very different from the hot, arid plains of the Jordan. Therefore, unless proved otherwise, the unidentified Ozyptila female is considered to represent the ���Plains of the Jordan ��� record. Apparently one of the clavigera females is a later unlisted addition to the Oxford collection. The unidentified species differs also distinctly from O. patellibidens Levy. The latter is found in the semi-arid stony desert of the Negev, a habitat that differs markedly from that of O. clavigera. Both species are known primarly from pitfall traps., Published as part of Levy, Gershom, 2007, Calommata (Atypidae) and new spider species (Araneae) from Israel, pp. 1-30 in Zootaxa 1551 on page 22, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.178107, {"references":["Cambridge, O.

Ozyptila utotchikini Marusik in Marusik and Chevrizov (1990) was described from two male specimens from the Anuchino District of Maritime Province, Far East Russia. Since then it has also been reported from Sikhote-Alin’ Reserve (Marusik & Koponen 2001). Ozyptila utotchkini belongs to the Holarctic O. rauda-group which comprises about 10 species. The examination of both, newly collected material and specimens from museum collections from Maritime Province has uncovered the undescribed female of this species. Although collected previously, it was not known to be conspecific to the male of O. utotchkini, or a member of the O. rauda-group, as it has an unusual epigyne. Recently we recognized that O. utotchkini may represent a junior synonym of O. gasanensis Paik, 1985, known only from female holotype collected in Korea. The holotype of this species is not available (all types deposited in the private collection of K.Y. Paik were lost after his death). The goal of this paper is to describe both sexes of O. utotchkini to allow clarification of the status of the two Far Eastern species, O. gasanensis and O. utotchkini, in the future.
