The jumping spider Mexcala monstrata Wesołowska & van Harten, 1994 is recorded for the first time from Egypt and Africa. The record is based only on male specimens. It is the second species of the genus Mexcala in Egypt after Mexcala nigrocyanea (Simon, 1886) known from the Siwa Oasis.
We present a taxonomic study with the description of three new species of Chira Peckham & Peckham, 1896: C. stolari sp. nov. (♂♀) from Pernambuco, Brazil; C. ivyatenea sp. nov.

Integrative taxonomy is crucial for discovery, recognition, and species delimitation, especially in underestimated species complex or cryptic species, by incorporating different sources of evidence to construct rigorous species hypotheses. The spider genus Physocyclus Simon, 1893 (Pholcidae, Arteminae) is composed of 37 species, mainly from North A...
In this study, Porrhoclubiona genevensis is reported as a new record for the spider fauna of Cyprus based on the male and female individuals collected from the northern part of Cyprus. In the article, the general appearance and photos of the copulatory organs of the species are given and the morphological resemblance of P. genevensis with P. vegeta...

... Compared to the results of other general studies in urban environments, summarizing all available faunistic data the araneofauna of Plovdiv shows high diversity. For example, the total number of spiders in Sofia is 306 (Antov et al., 2004;Drensky, 1913, 1936, Deltshev, 1967, Indzhov, 2020, Naumova, 2019, Naumova et al., 2017, Schäfer, 2021, 118 in Skopje (Stefanovska et al., 2008), 249 in Chernivtsi, Ukraine (Fedoriak & Zhukovets, 2010) and 141 in Rostov-na Don, Russia (Ponomarev, 2021). Despite the narrow altitude range (only 91 meters) between 145 and 236 m a.s.l., the unsystematic sampling and insignificant part of material collected by pitfall traps, the overall number of spiders established during this study is considerable and represents 182 species in the city of Plovdiv and 305 spider species after including sites in the nearest outskirts. ...
Although Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria and on its territory, there are many natural habitats of high conservation importance, there is still almost no data on the species composition of the arachnid fauna. Our study is the first attempt to summarize available published and to provide original data about three orders of arachnids. The following number of the investigated taxa of arachnids was established: spiders: 312 species from 33 families, pseudoscorpions: 4 species from 4 families and one scorpion species (from Euscorpiidae family). New for the region of Plovdiv are 280 species, thirteen spider species are newly recorded for the country and five of them are first records from the Balkans as well. Lathys spasskyi seems to be a first record from Europe and Zelotes harmeron is the first published record from the European mainland. The high total number of species presented here, as well as the many new country records, show that the studies of arachnids in cities have been unjustifiably neglected.
