hibernation seasons (October-March 1979-1986) in western Oklahoma.
Average mass entering hibernation was 14.4 g for males and 15.4 g for
females. At the end of hibernation, average mass of males and females
was 11.5 and 12.0 g, respectively. Males lost an average of 2.9 g (20.1%)
and females lost 3.4 g (22.1%). During hibernation, males and females
lost 0.021 and 0.024 g/day, respectively. We detected no difference in
rate of loss of mass between the first and second halves of hibernation for
either sex. Males and females lost 3.8 and 4.1 g, respectively, during
2005-2006, when only two visits were made to the cave (October and
March). These values for loss in mass were slightly more than losses
recorded for males and females when bats were sampled each month
during hibernation. RES: Este estudio caracteriza la pérdida del peso
corporal de los murciélagos, Myotis velifer, en 7 estaciones de la
hibernación (octubre-marzo 1979-1986) en Oklahoma occidental. El peso
mediano al inicio de la hibernación para los machos fue 14.4 g y para las
hembras 15.4 g. El peso mediano de machos y de hembras al final de la
hibernación fue 11.5 y 12.0 g, respectivamente. Los machos perdieron un
promedio de 2.9 g (20.1%) y las hembras perdieron 3.4 g (22.1%).
Durante la hibernación, los machos y las hembras perdieron 0.021 y
0.024 g/dia, respectivamente. No detectamos ninguna diferencia en la tasa
de la pérdida del peso entre la primera y segunda mitad de la hibernación
para ambos sexos. Machos y hembras perdieron 3.8 g y 4.1 g,
respectivamente, durante 2005-2006 cuando solamente se hicieron dos
visitas a la cueva (octubre y marzo). Estos valores de la pérdida de peso
fueron levemente más que la pérdida del peso registrada para machos y
hembras cuando los murciélagos fueron muestreados cada mes durante la
hibernación.

44(17/18, May):1081-1094. DOI:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222931003624796. ABS: A new
genus and species of the family Parabathynellidae, Octobathynella
peelensis gen. nov. sp. nov., is described from New South Wales,
Australia. The new genus displays several exclusive characters: a very
large and distinctive male thoracopod VIII with one crest-like projection
containing two lobules on the basipod; and four aesthetascs on segments
six and seven of the antennule. It also has several combinations of
characters that make it unique in the Parabathynellidae, specifically that:
the antennule is eight-segmented (a new character in the Australian
species); there are seven segments in the antenna; the labrum has 18-20
teeth; the exopod of thoracopod I has three to four segments and the
exopod of thoracopod II has four segments; the endopod has one dorsal
seta on the first and second segments and the epipod is absent on
thoracopod I; pleopods are absent; the endopod of the male thoracopod
VIII has two setae and the exopod has setules; there are 10-12 spines on
the sympod, three or four spines on the endopod and five setae on the
exopod of the uropod. The new genus and species is placed into context
with all known Bathynellacea in Australia, and the biogeographic patterns
are discussed for this ancient group of subterranean crustaceans. KW:

The Iberian spider checklist (Araneae). Zootaxa 2495(June
4):1-52, 4 pl., 50 réf. ABS: We compiled all the available
information regarding spider species distribution in the Iberian Peninsula
(including the Balearic Islands). At present, 1335 species are known from
the region, of which 236 are Iberian endemics, in 373 genera and 55
families. Portugal presents 768 species and Spain (including Andorra and
Gibraltar), 1213 species. Although the work developed during recent
decades has allowed a major increase in our knowledge of this group,
there are certainly many species yet to be found and, for those already
listed, the distribution is largely unknown. Although linyphiids present
the highest number of known species (267), dysderids present the highest

where each species was referenced is also presented and reveals large
differences in the knowledge about each province, with most presenting
very few known records and species. This checklist is accompanied by an

listed and regularly updated. KW: Arthropoda, Balearic Islands,

Monitoring the population of the linyphid spider
Porrhomma rosenhaueri (L. Koch, 1872) (Araneae:
Linyphiidae) in Lesser Garth Cave, Cardiff, UK. Cave and
Karst Science 37(1):3-8. ABS: The cave dwelling spider
Porrhomma rosenhaueri (L. Koch) is unique to the British fauna as it is
considered to be the only species of troglobiont spider present. This
spider has a very limited distribution in the UK and is known only from
two cave sites, both of which are in South Wales: Ogof y Ci near Merthyr
Tydfil and Lesser Garth Cave near Cardiff. Monitoring populations of
cavernicolous species is very difficult to achieve and the aim of this
survey was to set up a Common Standards Monitoring (CSM) protocol
that would allow meaningful data to be compiled as to the size and
viability of the spider population in the Lesser Garth Cave complex. A
defined transect of the main passage in the cave was surveyed, carefully
searching the accessible parts of the passage for both live spiders and
webs in good condition but with no obvious spider present. The first visit
was made in September 2009 and 17 live spiders were recorded,
removing one to confirm identification. During a follow up survey in
December 2009 only 6 live spiders were recorded. Possible reasons for
this are discussed in this paper. The overall impression is that, despite
living next to an active quarry, the spider Porrhomma rosenhaueri is still
well-established in the Lesser Garth Cave. The cave itself has a rich
diversity of cave associated species and is thus an important site for
speleobiology in the UK. http://www.bcra.org.uk/pub/candks/index.html

September 2010, ICSB 2010 Abstract Book, edited by:
Ajda MOŠKRIČ and Peter TRONTELJ, ISBN 978-961-
269-286-5. ABS: The author presents an updated, tentative synthesis
of the available knowledge of the main groups of carabid beetles
(Geadephaga, or Caraboidea) represented in subterranean environments
in different areas of the world. Caraboidea, with some families of
Staphylinoidea, represent the almost totality of the subterranean
Coleoptera. As generalized ground and mostly predaceous beetles, they
became a successful group in all kind of soil and subterranean
environments, and some of them show the most impressive examples of
adaptation to hypogean life. In particular, three taxonomic groups will be
stressed: 1. Scaritinae of the subtribe Reicheiina, with emphasis on the
main questions concerning their global distributions, and their possible
"adaptive radiation" in Sardinia; 2. Trechinae of the tribe Trechini,
stressing the opportunity of a new taxonomic treatment of "phyletic
lineages" supported by bio-molecular data; 3. Pterostichinae of the
subtribes Molopina and Sphodrina, with emphasis on the Euro-
Mediterranean genera, highly interesting from the biogeographic point of
view. Some questions concerning other groups of subterranean carabids
(Paussinae Ozaenini, Promecognathinae, Dryptinae Zuphiini) will be also
recalled and debated. Funds were provided by PRIN-MIUR (Ministry of
the University and Scientific Research, Italy) and the EU project Interreg
