New and poorly known species of Berlandina Dalmas, 1922 (Araneae: Gnaphosidae) from Uzbekistan
Abstract
Three new species of the gnaphosid spider genus Berlandina Dalmas, 1922 are described from Uzbeki- stan based on males: B. izzatullaevi sp. n. (Samarkand Region), B. jabborovi sp. n. and B. khalimovi sp. n. (both from Surxondaryo Region). The poorly-illustrated species, B. plumalis (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872), is redescribed based on newly collected specimens from Uzbekistan. All studied species are assigned to their respective species-groups. Detailed (re)descriptions, digital photographs and a distribution map are provided.
