    Kut gen. nov., a new troglomorphic spider genus from Turkey (Araneae, Dysderidae)
    (Pensoft Publishers, 2019) Kunt K.B.; Elverici M.; Yağmur E.A.; Özkütük R.S.
    A new genus of troglomorphic Dysderidae is described, based mainly on the morphology of copulatory organs. The new genus Kut gen. nov., with the type species Harpactocrates troglophilus Brignoli, 1978, also includes two recently discovered new species from the coastal Mediterranean Turkey: Kut izmiricus sp. nov. and K. dimensis sp. nov. All three species display troglomorphic traits, most distinct in K. dimensis sp. nov. Another genus-level trait is a characteristic simple type of bulb in males. Female copulatory organ shows similarity to the endemic Caucasian genus Cryptoparachtes Dunin, 1992 in paraspermatheca structure, whereas the male copulatory organ is unique among all known Dysderidae. © Kadir Boga-Kunt et al.

    Redescription of Harpactea christodeltshevi Bayram, Kunt & Yağmur, 2009 (Araneae, Dysderidae) from Turkey; [Türkiye'den Bilinen Harpactea christodeltshevi Bayram, Kunt & Yağmur, 2009 (Araneae, Dysderidae)'nin yeniden betimlenmesi]
    (ABADER (Adıyaman Bilimsel Arastırmalar Dernegi), 2019) Ozkutuk R.S.; Yağmur E.A.; Kunt K.B.; Karaduman N.
    In this study, Harpactea christodeltshevi from the southeast Anatolia region of Turkey, is re-described. Some of the information about the body features of females which has not been known to date is given and pictures of female copulatory organ is also presented. H. christodeltshevi is in the rubicunda (D) group because of the structural features of the body and reproductive organs and its female copulatory organ is unique because of the spherical structure in the tip of the anterior spermatheca and sclerotized ring just under it. Additionally, it is debated that the species saved recently in Gaziantep, Turkey and recorded as Stalagtia hercegovinensis is actually H. christodeltshevi. © 2019, ABADER (Adıyaman Bilimsel Arastırmalar Dernegi).

    Two new species of Dysdera (Aranei: Dysderidae) from Turkey; [Два новых вида пауков рода Dysdera (Aranei: Dysderidae) из Турции]
    (KMK Scientific Press, 2024) Coşar İ.; Yağmur E.A.; Danışman T.; Özkütük R.S.; Kunt K.B.
    Two new species of Dysdera Latreille, 1804, D. yigitakcai sp.n. (; Kahramanmaraş) and D. mehmeti sp.n. (; Gaziantep), are described from the eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey. Of these, D. mehmeti sp.n. belongs to the asiatica species-group. Dysdera yigitakcai sp.n. possesses characteristics of different species-groups but appears closest to the longirostris-group. In addition, photographs of the palp of D. neocretica Deeleman-Reinhold, 1988; D. fragaria Deeleman-Reinhold, 1988; and the vulva of D. argaeica Nosek, 1905 are included for comparison. © ARTHROPODA SELECTA, 2024.

    Two new species of Harpactea (Araneae, Dysderidae) from the Aegean region of Türkiye, with the redescription of Harpactea cruriformis Bosmans, 2011
    (Magnolia Press, 2025) Kunt K.B.; Danişman T.; Yağmur E.A.
    Two new Harpactea species, H. cosari sp. nov. (male female) and H. subterranea sp. nov. (male female), are described from the Manisa Province of Türkiye. The two new species belong to the rubicunda species group based on the characteristics of the male and female copulatory organs. H. subterranea sp. nov. was sampled from the mesovoid shallow substratum using special traps. An apparent reduction of the eyes was observed as an adaptation to living underground. In addition to the new species, a new population of Harpactea cruriformis Bosmans, 2011, previously described from the Greek island of Chios, was discovered in İzmir province and reported as new to the spider fauna of Türkiye. Also, the unknown female of H. cruriformis is described for the first time. The female copulatory organ of the species resembles that of Harpactea terveli Lazarov, 2009, as it is the male. Bulb and vulva images of Harpactea pugio Varol & Akpınar, 2016 and H. terveli, along with bulb images of H. kencei Kunt, Elverici, Özkütük & Yağmur, 2011 and the holotype of H. cruriformis are included for comparison.

    Two new species of Harpactea Bristowe, 1939 from Turkey (Araneae: Dysderidae)
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025) Kunt K.B.; Danışman T.; Yağmur E.A.
    Two new species, Harpactea bozdaglarensissp. n. and H. dilekensissp. n. are described based on both sexes from the Aegean region of Turkey. Both species belong to the rubicunda species group defined for Harpactea due to the characteristics of the copulatory organs and some somatic parts, and H. bozdaglarensissp. n. resembles H. alexandrae and H. clementi while H. dilekensissp. n. resembles H. chaniaensis and H. walterdebucki known from the Aegean Islands. Morphometric and meristic characters of the new species and detailed photographs of the copulatory organs are given in the paper. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6359E865-797F-430E-84CD-47B97F1D98DC. © 2025 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
