Summary: | Material belonging to a small collection of Moroccan arachnids housed in the Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences was examined and the results are presented here. A total of 28 species belonging to 16 families from three orders of arachnids were provided, as follows: Araneae (16 species, 12 families), Scorpiones (nine species, two families) and Solifugae (three species, two families). Five spider species, Adonea cf. fimbriata (Eresidae), Plexippus cf. clemens (Salticidae), Thanatus oblongiusculus (Philodromidae), Aelurillus aeruginosus (Salticidae) and Steatoda incomposita (Theridiidae), represent new or potential new records for the fauna of Morocco. Furthermore, the latter two are new for the African continent. Das Material aus einer kleinen Sammlung von marokkanischen Arachniden im Institut für Biodiversitäts- und Ökosystemforschung an der bulgarischen Akademie der Wissenschaften wurde untersucht und die Ergebnisse werden hier präsentiert. 28 Arten in 16 Familien aus drei Ordnungen werden vorgestellt: Araneae (16 Arten, 12 Familien), Scorpiones (neun Arten, zwei Familien) und Solifugae (drei Arten, zwei Familien). Fünf Spinnenarten, Adonea cf. fimbriata (Eresidae), Plexippus cf. clemens (Salticidae), Thanatus oblongiusculus (Philodromidae), Aelurillus aeruginosus (Salticidae) and Steatoda incomposita (Theridiidae), stellen neue oder potentiell neue Nachweise für die Fauna von Marokko dar. Die letzten zwei sind zudem neu für den afrikanischen Kontinent. |
