  First insular record and DNA barcoding of Euscorpius vailatii Tropea & Fet, 2015 from Trizonia Island (Fokida, Greece) Abstract Euscorpius vailatii Tropea & Fet, 2015 (Scorpiones: Euscorpiidae), originally described from Aitoloakarnania and Fokida (Greece), is herein reported from Trizonia Island in the Gulf of Corinth, representing the first insular record for the species. The examined specimens are consistent with the diagnostic morphology of E. vailatii . The first molecular data for the species are provided, based on both mainland and insular populations. Comparative analyses further highlight the distinctiveness of E. vailatii from geographically close congeners, while phylogenetic results indicate a sister-taxon relationship with E. erymanthius , supporting a Quaternary biogeographic history shaped by the evolution of the Gulf of Corinth system.

New Records of Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) from the State of Sinaloa, Mexico

Abstract

Six new records of spiders collected in natural and disturbed environments from different localities  in  northern  Sinaloa,  Mexico  are  provided.  Genera  and  species  diagnoses  are  included  to  facilitate their identification. Additionally, we link the distribution of these same species with records available on the iNaturalist citizen science platform.
