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.

Selected animal and plant taxa of the Na Hupech meadow, a biologically and recreationally valuable site in Prague-Mod{\v r}any (Central Bohemia)

Abstract: The Na Hupech meadow in Prague-Mod{\v r}any is an important site for both biodiversity and well-being of local people. A survey conducted by the authors there in 2018\–2020 revealed 90 spider, three harvestman, three false scorpion, eight millipede, two centipede, seven woodlice, 47 leaf- and planthopper, 66 true bug, 37 beetle, three amphibian, three reptilian and 88 vascular plant species. Among them, the silvaniid beetle Airaphilus elongatus is considered Critically Endangered according to the Czech Red List; true bug Ceraleptus gracilicornis, beetle Agyrtes bicolor and frog Bufotes viridis are Endangered; spider Nematogmus sanguinolentus, true bug Galeatus maculatus, beetle Tropinota hirta, frog Bufo bufo and lizard Lacerta agilis are vulnerable species. Beetles Oxythyrea funesta and Tropinota hirta, frogs Bufo bufo, Bufotes viridis and Rana dalmatina, lizards Anguis fragilis and Lacerta agilis and snake Natrix natrix are specially protected species according to the Czech law. In addition, Thyreocoris fulvipennis (Heteroptera: Thyreocoridae) has been recorded there for the first time in Bohemia. Due to its rich biodiversity and occurrence of protected and threatened species, the site should be maintained in its current state and protected against construction activities.

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.

Resumen: La fauna de las cavernas gran\íticas est\á poco estudiada, en buena parte porque las cavidades suelen ser de peque\ño tama\ño y por lo tanto poco atractivas para la bioespeleolog\ía. Una excepci\ón es el conjunto de cavidades de O Fol\ón, en Coruxo (Vigo, Pontevedra), que cuenta con m\ás de 900 m de galer\ías y alcanza una cota de -34 m. En este art\ículo se presentan los resultados de 18 muestreos realizados entre 2016 y 2020, principalmente con b\úsqueda manual. Se han recogido 171 espec\ímenes, de los cuales se han identificado hasta g\énero 141, y hasta especie 115. Entre los grupos mejor representados se encuentran los Chilopoda y Diplopoda, destacando el platid\ésmido Dolistenus iberoalbus Mauri\ès, 2015, abundante en varios de los muestreos y s\ólo conocido por la serie tipo. Se cita por primera vez Lithobius validus Meinert, 1872 de Pontevedra y Lithobius schubarti Demange, 1959 de Galicia. Entre la fauna de ar\ácnidos, se cita Meta menardi (Latreille, 1804) por primera vez para Galicia. En relaci\ón a los Opiliones, se ha encontrado Nemastomella dentipatellae Dresco, 1967, nunca antes citado en la provincia de Pontevedra. La clase mejor representada es la de los insectos, con 78 ejemplares pertenecientes a 7 \órdenes. Las cinco especies de Staphylinidae halladas en las cavernas representan primeras citas para la provincia de Pontevedra. Este singular sistema subterr\áneo no goza de ninguna protecci\ón, por lo que esta primera lista de su fauna, puede servir para resaltar la importancia de preservar dicho h\ábitat, que muestra varios impactos de origen antr\ópico.

Abstract: The fauna of granite caves is poorly known, largely because these cavities are usually small and therefore unattractive for biospeleology. An exception is the O Fol\ón cavity complex, in Coruxo (Vigo, Pontevedra), which has more than 900 m of galleries and reaches a depth of -34 m. This paper presents the results of 18 samplings, mainly manual, carried out between 2016 and 2020. We collected 171 specimens, of which 141 have been identified to genus, and 115 to species. Some of the groups best represented in our samplings are the Chilopoda and Diplopoda, among which the platydesmid Dolistenus iberoalbus Mauri\ès, 2015 is particularly worthy of note: it was abundant in several of the samplings butwas pre viously known only from the type series. Lithobius validus Meinert, 1872 is recorded from Pontevedra for the first time and Lithobius schubarti Demange, 1959 is a first record for Galicia. Among the arachnids, Meta menardi (Latreille, 1804) is recorded for the first time from Galicia. As for the Opiliones, we found the first specimens of Nemastomella dentipatellae Dresco, 1967 from Pontevedra province. The best represented class is that of insects, with 78 specimens belonging to 7 orders. The five species of Staphylinidae found in the caves are first records for Pontevedra province. This unique underground system does not have any protection status, so this first list of its fauna can serve to highlight the importance of preserving this habitat, which shows some signs of anthropogenic disturbance.

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.
