Ekológia (Bratislava) Vol. 19, Supplement 3, 19-29, 2000 PORTUGUESE SPIDERS (ARANEAE): A PRELIMINARY CHECKLIST PEDRO CARDOSO Pcta. Metalúrgicos, 2, 1º Dto., 2835-043 Baixa da Banheira, Portugal. E-mail: pcardoso@iname.com Introduction Abstract Cardoso P.: Portuguese <strong>spider</strong>s (Araneae): a preliminary checklist. In GAJDOŠ P., PEKÁR S. (eds): Proceedings <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 18th European Colloquium <strong>of</strong> Arachnology, Stará Lesná, 1999. Ekológia (Bratislava), Vol. 19, Supplement 3/2000, p. 19-29. With 642 described species and 8 subspecies, continental Portuguese <strong>spider</strong>s are still poorly known. A preliminary species checklist is presented and <strong>the</strong> country is evaluated in terms <strong>of</strong> its known <strong>spider</strong> species distribution. What has been done and what has to be done are two <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> main topics to be addressed. Arachnology is a neglected science in Portugal. Only two Portuguese researchers have dedicated part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir life to arachnology – Amélia Bacelar and António de Barros Machado. Both <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m worked in <strong>the</strong> area during <strong>the</strong> second quarter <strong>of</strong> this century and only occasional work has been done in <strong>the</strong> last 50 years, mainly by <strong>for</strong>eign researchers who saw in continental Portugal a good area to develop <strong>the</strong>ir studies. The first published reference to a Portuguese <strong>spider</strong> was made by Sundevall on <strong>the</strong> occurrence <strong>of</strong> Achaearanea lunata (OLIVIER) in this country in 1831 (in BACELAR, 1928). Since <strong>the</strong>n, many researchers have made considerable species lists, e.g. KARSCH (1893 in BACELAR, 1928), BERTKAU (1893a, 1893b in BACELAR, 1928), SIMON (1881, 1898b in BACELAR, 1928), FRANGANILLO (1920 in BACELAR, 1928), BACELAR (1927a, 1927b, 1928, 1932, 1933a, 1933b, 1933c, 1935, 1936, 1940), MACHADO (1937, 1941, 1944, 1945, 1949, 1986), SCHENKEL (1938), FERRÁNDEZ (1986, 1990a, 1990b, 1996) and BOSMANS (1994). Some o<strong>the</strong>r smaller papers, in terms <strong>of</strong> numbers <strong>of</strong> species, have referred to <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>spider</strong>s in Portugal: FRADE, BACELAR (1931a, 1931b), BLAUWE (1980), BLASCO (1986), RIBERA (1988, 1993), FERRÁNDEZ, CÉSPEDES (1990), MACHADO, FERRÁNDEZ (1991), BARRIENTOS, RIBERA (1992), ROBERTS (1995), URONES et al. (1995), SNAZELL, MURPHY (1997). 19
