E-mail: carvalho@ufpi.edu.br Abstract: The Brazilian spider fauna comprises thousands of described species, mostly known by only one or two records, and there are large sampling gaps. The spider fauna of the state of Roraima is enigmatic in Brazil and remains largely unknown. Herein, we present a list of spider species recently collected during an expedition in Roraima. Species-level identifications were possible for 229 adult individuals of 54 species. Five species are newly recorded from Brazil, and 30 species are presented for the first time from Roraima. Most of these new records are represented by widespread species, representing the huge and historical deficiency in the spider sampling throughout Roraima. Key words: Amazon Forest; Cerrado; geographical distribution; Neotropical Region INTRODUCTION Brazilian spiders are suitable for the study of diversity pat- terns and geographical distribution owing to the existence of a large database that includes all records in taxonomic publications, among other records (i.e., BRESCOVIT et al. 2011; OLIVEIRA et al. 2015). As of 2013, there were 3,425 spider species recorded from Brazil, but about 40% of these species are known only by single records, while about 45% have between two and 15 records, 10% have between 16 and 60 records, and only 2% of the species are represented by more than 100 records (OLIVEIRA et al. 2015). This heterogeneous knowledge is highly influenced by where the main national research institutions, which harbor the most significant collections, and researchers on spider systematics are located. Collections are mostly composed of species gathered nearby (BRESCOVIT et al. 2011), significantly associated to access routes, creating larger knowledge shortfalls in localities far from the main research centers (OLIVEIRA et al. 2016). For example, the Amazon has the lowest record density for invertebrates, vertebrates and angiosperms among all Brazilian biomes (OLIVEIRA et al. 2016). Regarding spi- ders, there is a historical concentration of sampling effort mostly in small regions (OLIVEIRA et al. 2015). The states of Para (e.g., RICETTI & BONALDO 2008; BONALDO et al. 2009b) and Amazonas (e.g., HOFER & BRESCOVIT 2001; ADIs et al. 2002; BONALDO et al. 2009a; DIAS & BONALDO 2012) concentrate most of the published spider invento- ries, collaborating for such heterogeneous knowledge. Additionally, in the last 15 years, knowledge of spiders in the states of Roraima, Rondénia, Acre, and Amapa has increased mainly through taxonomic papers (e.g., POLOTOW & BRESCOVIT 2008; ABRAHIM et al. 2012; RUIZ & BRESCOVIT 2013; RODRIGUES 2013; PAULA et al. 2014; COSTA & RuIz 2014; BERTANI et al. 2016), but no lists of spider species have been published or updated. For Roraima, there is a single spider species inventory carried out in terra firme forests in the Island of Maraca, in the municipality of Uraricoera; it is almost two decades old (LISE 1998a, 1998b). In that paper, LISE (1998a, 1998b) recorded 145 spider species (92 determined and 55 unde- termined species), a species richness presently considered low, if compared to well-sampled Amazon Forest locali- ties such as the Serra do Cachimbo (427 spp., RICETTI & BONALDO 2008), the Reserva Florestal Adolpho Ducke (506 spp., HOFER & BRESCOVIT 2001; ADIs et al. 2002), the Floresta Nacional de Caxiuana (591 spp., BONALDO et al. 2009b), or the Porto Urucu River basin (623 spp., DIAS & BONALDO 2012). As a consequence of the general deficiency of sampling in Roraima, any expedition focusing on sampling arach- nids in the region is expected to result in a large number of undescribed or, at least, under-recorded species (even biodiversity data Carvalho et al. | New records of spiders from the state of Roraima 64°W 63°W HAAR ree Mf eT AA fier oe eee HH Y Ry Nae YT 65°W 64°W 63°W 62°W 62°W 61°W 60°W 59°W 58°W 4°N 61°W 60°W 59°W 58°W Figure 1.

Recently, we performed a short survey in four municipalities (Amajari, Boa Vista, Bonfim, and Canta) at Roraima, and here we present a species list of these spiders and update their geographical distribution. MATERIAL AND METHODS The sampling was conducted in the state of Roraima in northern Brazil. The state borders Venezuela on the north and west and Guyana on the east. To the south is the state of Amazonas, and to the southeast, the state of Para. Addi- tionally, the region represents a large ecotone area; flanked by the Amazon Forest to the south and west, by savannas to the east, and by mountainous regions, with altitudes up to 3,000 m, to the north (EDEN & MCGREGOR 1998). The climate is characterized by three climate categories in Koppen’s classification: Af (constantly humid regions with low annual variations in rainfall and temperature), Am (humid summer and short term dry winter seasons), and Aw (with four months of a real drought) (BARBOSA et al. © Check List | www.biotaxa.org/cl 1997; FALCAO & COSTA 2012). In general, lowland Roraima has annual mean temperature ranging between 26 and 27°C, which decreases considerably with elevation (EDEN & MCGREGOR 1998). The mean annual rainfall varies from 1,100-1,400 mm/year in the northeast to 2,000-2,300 mm/year in the southwest (BARBOSA et al. 1997). Such het- erogeneous climate and topography allow for the existence of different habitats, such as terra firme forest, seasonally flooded forest (varzea and igapé), white-sand forest (campi- na and campinarana), savanna, gallery, and dry forests, and various types of montane forests (Naka et al. 2006). In July 2014, a 10-day sampling campaign was carried out in Roraima (Figure 1), in the municipalities of Amajari (Figures 2-6), Boa Vista, Bonfim (Figure 7), and Canta. Col- lecting permits were issued by the Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservacdo da Biodiversidade (ICMBio) through the Sistema de Autorizacao e Informa¢aéo em Biodiversidade (SISBIO #44225-1). Arachnids were collected through diur- nal and nocturnal manual searches that did not follow any Volume 13 | Issue 1 | Article 2040 Carvalho et al. | New records of spiders from the state of Roraima Figures 2-7.

Only specimens identified to the species level are listed here. Thus, undetermined or undescribed specimens are not discussed. Names of species follow the WORLD SPIDER CATALOG (2017). All specimens were deposited in the following arachnid collections: Colec¢ées Taxonémicas da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais (UFMG; curator A. J. Santos); Colecao de Histéria Natural da Uni- versidade Federal do Piaui, Floriano, Piaui (CHNUFPI; curator E. F. B. Lima); and Museu de Zoologia da Univer- sidade de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, SAo Paulo (MZSP; curator R. Pinto-da-Rocha). Photographs were made using a Leica M205C stereomicroscope equipped with a Leica DFC295 digital camera. Images in different focal planes were assembled in multi-focus images using the software Leica Application Suite ver. 3.3.0 (Leica Inc.). The map of the sampling points was constructed in ArcMap 10.0 (ESRI), using WGS84 datum (the same used to obtain the geo- graphical coordinates during the sampling). RESULTS Species identification was achieved for 229 adult individuals (86 males and 143 females) belonging to 54 species and 19 families. Only six species presented more than 10 individu- als: Metagonia mariguitarensis (Gonzalez-Sponga, 1998) (n = 24), Wagneriana atuna Levi, 1991 (n = 24), Trochanteria gomezi Canals, 1933 (n = 23), and Carapoia paraguaensis Gonzalez-Sponga, 1998 (n = 19), Architis tenuis Simon, 1898 (n = 18) and Metazygia gregalis (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1889) (n = 12). Eighteen species were doubletons and 18 species were singletons. The list of spiders presented herein is mainly composed by widely distributed species (50 spp.; 92% of the total), and only four species are known to have a restricted Dis- tribution: the theraphosids Guyruita waikoshiemi (Bertani & Aratjo, 2006), Psalmopoeus irminia Saager, 1994 and Theraphosa stirmi Rudloff & Weinmann, 2010, and the orb-weaver araneid Hypognatha cacau Levi, 1996. The ther- aphosid species are distribuited only in the Guiana shield, while H. cacau is known from the northern Amazon Forest. Four species are recorded in Brazil for the first time: the theraphosids G. waikoshiemi and T. stirmi, the selenopid Selenops geraldinae Corronca, 1996, and the orb- weaver araneid Wagneriana taboga Levi, 1991. Additionally, 30 species are recorded from Roraima for the first time. No species of medical importance was recorded. Additionally, five recorded species are widely distributed and/or can be found in synanthropic environments: Argiope argentata (Fabricius, 1775) (Araneidae), Micropholcus fauroti (Simon, 1887) (Pholcidae), Philoponella vittata (Keyserling, 1881) ©@Check List | www.biotaxa.org/cl (Uloboridae), Oecobius concinnus Simon, 1893 (Oecobiidae), and Scytodes fusca Walckenaer, 1837 (Scytodidae).

(UFMG 16690). Distribution: Guyruita waikoshiemi was previously known only from its type locality, the Yanomami com- munity Motorema (02°30'27.0" N, 065°9'39.9” W) in the Reserva de Biosfera Alto Orinoco-Casiquiare, 411 km from Puerto Ayacucho, Estado Amazonas, Venezuela (BERTANI & ARAUJO 2006). The new record increases the geographi- cal distribution by at least 410 km to the northeast. Natural history: The specimen was found on the ground inside a burrow, which was lined internally with threads (as also described by BERTANI & ARAUJO 2006). It was captured by digging out the soil. The surrounding area consisted of secondary terra firme vegetation. Note: The spider genus Guyruita Guadanucci was described in 2007 and comprises three described species. It is distinguished from the remaining Schismatothelinae theraphosid genera by the labium densely occupied by more than 100 cuspules, absence of intercheliceral intu- mescence, posterior sternal sigilla remote from margin, absence of teeth in tarsal claws, undivided tarsal scopula Volume 13 | Issue 1 | Article 2040 Carvalho et al. | New records of spiders from the state of Roraima = Pa ke 4) Figures 8-11.

The females of G. waikoshiemi (Figures 8 and 12-15) can be distinguished from congeners by the incrassate tibia I (GUADANUCCI et al. 2007; see Figure 14) and by the spermathecae being multilobulated at the apical por- tion (GUADANUCCI et al. 2007; see Figure 15). The female specimen presented the diagnostic features for the genus (Figures 12 and 13) and species (Figures 14 and 15), but its spermathecae presented sclerotized receptacles positioned more apically than the holotype specimen drawn by BER- TANI & ARAUJO (2006). However, we consider this to be intraspecific variation.

Distribution: The distribution pattern of this species was unclear for many years. It was known only from Argen- tina and Paraguay (PLATNICK 1986), until recently found in the state of Piaui, northeastern Brazil (Carvalho et al. 2014). The new record from Boa Vista, Roraima, represents a range extension of 2,300 km toward the northwest. This species may be widely distributed over the Cerrado biome, but the scarcity of sampling in appropriate microhabitats for the species hinders the validation of this hypothesis. Natural history: All specimens of T. gomezi were collect- ed from under bark of Curatella americana L. (Dilleniaceae) by carefully removing pieces of bark with a forceps. These spiders usually run laterally on the tree trunks to hide in small spaces in, or under, the bark. The association between T. gomezi and C. americana was also reported in the state of Piaui by Carvalho et al. (2014). As C. americana is widely distributed from from Central America to Bolivia, Volume 13 | Issue 1 | Article 2040 Carvalho et al. | New records of spiders from the state of Roraima and in almost all of Brazil, especially in the Cerrado biome (Sarmiento and Monasterio 1983; Vilar et al. 2009), fur- ther sampling effort from the barks of C. americana should be made. This may provide more precise information on the natural history of T. gomezi. Family Uloboridae Thorell, 1869 Philoponella vittata (Keyserling, 1881) Uloborus vittatus KEYSERLING (1881a).

Carvalho & M.C. Schneider leg. (UFMG 17106). Distribution: This species is widely distributed in the Neotropical Region (OPELL 1979: map 5). There are pub- lished records from the following countries: Bolivia, Brazil (Amazonas, Para and Roraima [new record]), Colombia, Guyana, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela (OPELL 1979; ALVES-COSTA & GONZAGA 2001). DISCUSSION The data presented here were opportunistically collected and may be taxonomically, temporally, and spatially biased. That is, relatively conspicuous (widespread) species were more often collected, the sampling period was short, and sampling sites were close to main roads. Most of the species recorded, including 32 of the 36 species newly recorded from Brazil and/or Roraima, are widespread species, but the new data are not unimportant. On the contrary, these data reflect the historical paucity of spider sampling throughout Roraima. Thus, there is the need to expand spider surveys in this region. The sampling heterogeneity in Roraima is not different from the overall situation throughout Brazil (BRESCOVIT et al. 2011: fig. 5), and corresponds to a general rule for Brazilian invertebrates, vertebrates and angiosperms (LEWINSOHN et al. 2005; OLIVEIRA et al. 2016). Even within the relatively better- studied animal groups and biomes, such as the Atlantic and the Amazon Forests, geographic coverage is very restricted and often just a few localities have been sampled adequately (Lewinsohn et al. 2005). As a result, there is a strong spatial bias regarding the species richness, species composition and endemism knowledge in the Brazilian biodiversity (OLIVEIRA et al. 2016). Information from natural history collections, such these presented here, are important as they are easily usable and present a high precision in georeferencing (GRAHAM et al. 2004). This type of data can be used in species distribution models for many purposes, such as conservation (FERRAZ et al. 2012). These collection data are also crucial because ©@Check List | www.biotaxa.org/cl they are a permanent record of a species at a given place and time (FUNK & RICHARDSON 2002). Our sampled localities are within the areas of endemism of Roraima, supported by a relatively low number (at most 12 spp.) of synendemic spider species (OLIVEIRA et al. 2015). However, our results suggest that these areas harbor a higher number of synendemic species than the survey by OLIVEIRA et al. (2015), which therefore had clearly sam- pling bias. Additionally, the relevancy of our results relies on the use of a high number of species associated with high endemism levels for conservation purposes. The basis for environmental management and conservation policies is, at a bare minimum, the distribution and abundance of every species that requires conservation (POSSINGHAM et al. 2007). The spider fauna of Roraima is one of the most poorly known in Brazil, with only a few published papers and mostly related to the spiders of the Maraca Island (where there are 92 recorded; number updated using the current spider nomenclature; see WORLD SPIDER CATALOG 2017), or individual species descriptions (LISE 1998a, 1998b; BUCKUP & MARQUES 1989, 1991, 1992; MARQUES & BUCK- UP 1992). Of these, only seven species (about 7.5% of the total) were recorded in our samples: the araneid orb-weav- ers Aculepeira travassosi, Amazonepeira masaka, Araneus guttatus, and Argiope argentata, the pisaurid Architis tenuis, the theridiid Dipoena atlantica, and the palpimanid Otio- thops oblongus. As observed, we expected a large number of previously unrecorded species as result of sampling anywhere in the state. However, future surveys should focus on remote and mountainous regions (e.g., Mount Roraima), or unexplored niches (e.g., soil and leaf litter). Such surveys may provide a wider overview of the whole spider fauna. Additionally, long-term or ecological studies on arachnids of Roraima have never been done. Such research would be a very interesting because the spider dynamics in the Cerrado (savanna) patch- es within the Amazon Forest is still completely unknown.
