Spiders (Araneae) and millipedes (Diplopoda) of the municipality of {\v Z}leby in the Kutn\á Hora District (Central Bohemia)

Abstract: In 1999\–2019, spiders and millipedes in {\v Z}leby, a municipality in the District of Kutn\á Hora were recorded. At 22 sites, the author collected or photographed 854 spider and 642 millipede specimens belonging to 121 spider and 29 millipede species. Most of them are common, however, spiders Ero aphana, Nematogmus sanguinolentus, Silometopus elegans and Amaurobius jugorum, and millipedes Cylindroiulus arborum and Haploporatia eremita, are ecologically significant. The most (millipede) species rich site at {\v Z}leby were the left bank of the Doubrava River and the lime alley. During the long-termed survey on spiders, the first occurrence of five recently spreading species (Pholcus phalangioides, Ebrechtella tricuspidata, Argiope bruennichi, Steatoda triangulosa and Ero aphana) was documented at {\v Z}leby.

The present catalogue completes (as the second of the two parts) data for the millipede collection of Czech arachnologist Franti\šek Miller (1902\–1983), housed in the National Museum in Prague. This second part of the catalogue brings information on a total of 341 specimens belonging to 34 millipede species; these specimens were previously housed at Charles University in Prague, and later moved to the National Museum. The material was collected during 1927\–1950 in the territory of modern-day Czechia and Slovakia. Chelogona carpathicum, Polydesmus tatranus and Trachysphaera acutula are species of special importance for Slovak faunistics, due to their endemic occurrence. Glomeris klugii is the first record for Slovakia. For Leptoiulus noricus and Polydesmus inconstans, these are chronologically the oldest records from the territory of Slovakia.

Diplopoda are poorly studied in many regions. The last comprehensive work on the millipede fauna of Switzerland was published in 1993 and listed 124 outdoor-living species. Recent sampling efforts have resulted in the discovery of six millipede species of European origin that were not previously known to occur in Switzerland: Cylindroiulus britannicus (Verhoeff, 1891), C. salicivorus\ Verhoeff, 1908, C. vulnerarius (Berlese, 1888), Heteroiulus intermedius (Br\ölemann, 1892), Anamastigona pulchella (Silvestri, 1894) and Macrosternodesmus palicola\ Br\ölemann, 1908. None of them is currently invasive in Switzerland, but some are rapidly expanding across Europe and other regions of the world. A species which was previously only known from northern Italy, H. intermedius, was found in a forest close to Bellinzona. It is likely a native Swiss species which has previously been overlooked. The other five species were collected in human-made habitats in the city of Basel and its surroundings, suggesting human-caused introduction. Two species, C. britannicus and M. palicola, likely have an Atlantic origin, while the three remaining species, C. salicivorus, C. vulnerarius and A. pulchella, are originally from Italy. The biogeography of these six species is discussed, and photographs of specimens of each species and their gonopods are presented.

The generic classification of the Palaearctic tribe Leptoiulini is revised, with 11 genera being recognized. The main differences between the genera, all presented in a tabular form, lie in the structure of the 2nd and 7th leg-pairs of the male, coupled with gonopodal conformations: the presence/absence and the degree of development of flagella on the promeres, and of the phylacum and velum on the opisthomeres. Based on abundant new material, only three genera and seven species of Leptoiulini, all keyed, mapped and properly illustrated, are shown to occur in the Caucasus: Chatoleptophyllum flexum Golovatch, 1979, Kubaniulus gracilis Lohmander, 1936, K. lativelatus sp. nov., Leptoiulus hastatus Lohmander, 1932 (= L. disparatus Lohmander, 1936, syn. n.), L. tanymorphus (Attems, 1901), L. meskhii sp. nov., and L. gonopodialis sp. nov. All species are endemic or subendemic to the region, while Kubaniulus Lohmander, 1936 represents the only genus in the tribe which is restricted to the Caucasus, in particular, the western and central parts of the Caucasus Major. The distributions are mainly allopatric, but a few pairs of species are para- or even sympatric.
