First record of Philodromus buchari (Araneae: Philodromidae) in Hungary

Abstract

Philodromus buchari Kubcová, 2004 is reported for the fi rst time from Hungary. A relatively large and abundant population of Ph. buchari was found in Diósd (near Budapest), and aft er examining other materials, it seems that the species is widespread throughout the country. In the past Ph. buchari was misidentifi ed as Ph. aureolus (Clerck, 1757), Ph. cespitum (Walckenaer, 1802) or Ph. longipalpis Simon, 1870, and possibly it is a native species in Hungary. It may have a wider distribution in Europe and the Mediterranean region as previously was thought. Copulatory/genital organs and habitus of Ph. buchari are illustrated. With 11 fi gures.
