The first record of Dictis L. Koch, 1872 (Araneae, Scytodidae) in the Caucasus

Abstract

Dictis L. Koch, 1875, is recorded in the Caucasus for the first time. Dictis strandi (Spassky, 1941), comb. nov. is transferred to Dictis from Scytodes Latreille, 1804 based on the examined female and two males raised to maturity from the egg sac. Collecting data and digital photos of live and preserved specimens are provided, along with detailed descriptions of both sexes, diagnostic illustrations, and observations on the natural history of Dictis strandi comb. nov. The endogyne is depicted for the first time.
