    New records of the East Mediterranean Lachesana (Aranei: Zodariidae), with description of a new species
    (KMK Scientific Press, 2020) Özkütük R.S.; Yaðmur E.A.; Gücel S.; Shafaie S.; Özden Ö.; Kunt K.B.
    A new species Lachesana bayramgocmeni sp.n. is described based on both sexes from Cyprus. The new species is compared in detail with L. blackwalli (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872). New data on the distribution of L. blackwalli in Turkey and Cyprus are presented. © ARTHROPODA SELECTA, 2020

    New data on the East Mediterranean Nemesüdae (Aranei: Mygalomorphae)
    (KMK Scientific Press, 2022) Özkütük R.S.; Yaǧmur E.A.; Elverici M.; Gücel S.; Altunsoy F.; Kunt K.B.
    The paper contains new descriptions of Brachythele zonsteini sp.n. from Central Anatolia, Turkey, and Nemesia cypriatica sp.n. from Cyprus, as well as a redescription of B. varrialei (Dalmas, 1922), with the first description of the conspecific female from Turkey. All descriptions are based on both sexes of each species and accompanied by images or diagnoses based on comparisons to related species. © ARTHROPODA SELECTA, 2022.

    External morphology of Hemiscorpius lepturus Peters, 1861 (Scorpiones: Hemiscorpiidae)
    (KMK Scientific Press, 2023) Hussen F.S.; Erdek M.; Yağmur E.A.
    Hemiscorpius lepturus Peters, 1861 is redefined in both sexes. The detailed external morphologies of chelae, pectinal organs, chelicerae, telsons, and legs I–IV were surveyed with the scanning electron microscope (SEM) in both sexes of H. lepturus for the first time. The constellation arrays, bat-like shaped peg sensilla, trichobothria, and the other sensillar and epicuticular structures were described, and their functional morphologies were interpreted considering the species’ habitat and other climatic preferences. The constellation arrays, basiconic sensilla, function as a chemoreceptor (hygro-reception or/and thermo-reception) by its location on the pedipalp in the habitat. The shape of the peg sensilla is remarkably bat-like in both sexes and this shape has not been observed or recorded in any scorpion species, functioning as mechanoreception and contact chemoreception. There are three slit sensilla as single slit, dual and triple slit sensilla on I–IV walking legs, being mechanoreceptors as proprioceptors detecting strain and substrate vibrations during movement. Isolated single slit sensillum was recorded on the chelicerae surface of a scorpion species for the first time. © ARTHROPODA SELECTA, 2023.

    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 the genus Scorpio L., 1758 from Southеastеrn Turkey (Scorpiones: Scorpionidae); [Два новых вида скорпионов рода Scorpio L., 1758 из юго-восточной Турции (Scorpiones: Scorpionidae)]
    (KMK Scientific Press, 2024) Yağmur E.A.; Hussen F.S.; Karakurt S.; Kurt R.; Sipahioğlu Ö.; Kartal İ.
    Two new species, Scorpio karakurti sp.n. and S. sirnakensis sp.n. are described and illustrated from the Southеastеrn region of Turkey. S. karakurti sp.n. is detected from Batman and Diyarbakır provinces and can be distinguished from all species of the genus Scorpio by its higher pectinal teeth numbers, especially in males (10–11 in females and 11–15 in males). S. sirnakensis sp.n is detected from Şırnak province and can be distinguished by elongated chela and telson shape and genital operculum shape of females. The new species are compared with the known species of the genus Scorpio Linnaeus, 1758 in the Middle East. © ARTHROPODA SELECTA, 2024.

    A comprehensive evaluation of the aculear sensory structures in scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones); [Сравнительная оценка сенсорных структур жала скорпионов (Arachnida: Scorpiones)]
    (KMK Scientific Press, 2024) Erdek M.; Yağmur E.A.
    The scorpion telson is composed of a bulbous shaped base with two venom glands and an aculeus with two venom channels that open to the exterior. The cuticular surface of the aculeus is covered with aculear peg sensilla and pore holes. These sensillar pegs are located on the aculeus surface of the telson and function as contact chemoreceptors. Data on aculear peg sensilla are presented from both parvorders, four families, 15 genera and 15 species of extant scorpions. Although all aculear peg sensilla have a similar structure in all species and sexes in terms of their general morphology, their location and frequency on the surface of the aculeus cuticle varies. The shape of these sensilla is similar in all species, and the distribution density on the cuticle surface differs from species to species. The single slit sensilla were observed at various intervals and numbers in the aculeus-bulb connection area of the telson. © ARTHROPODA SELECTA, 2024.
