Catalogue of Texas spiders

David Allen Dean 1
PMCID: PMC4829797  PMID: 27103878

Abstract Abstract

This catalogue lists 1,084 species of spiders (three identified to genus only) in 311 genera from 53 families currently recorded from Texas and is based on the “Bibliography of Texas Spiders” published by Bea Vogel in 1970. The online list of species can be found at http://pecanspiders.tamu.edu/spidersoftexas.htm. Many taxonomic revisions have since been published, particularly in the families Araneidae, Gnaphosidae and Leptonetidae. Many genera in other families have been revised. The Anyphaenidae, Ctenidae, Hahniidae, Nesticidae, Sicariidae and Tetragnathidae were also revised. Several families have been added and others split up. Several genera of Corinnidae were transferred to Phrurolithidae and Trachelidae. Two genera from Miturgidae were transferred to Eutichuridae. Zoridae was synonymized under Miturgidae. A single species formerly in Amaurobiidae is now in the Family Amphinectidae. Some trapdoor spiders in the family Ctenizidae have been transferred to Euctenizidae.

Gertsch and Mulaik started a list of Texas spiders in 1940. In a letter from Willis J. Gertsch dated October 20, 1982, he stated “Years ago a first listing of the Texas fauna was published by me based largely on Stanley Mulaik material, but it had to be abandoned because of other tasks.” This paper is a compendium of the spiders of Texas with distribution, habitat, collecting method and other data available from revisions and collections. This includes many records and unpublished data (including data from three unpublished studies). One of these studies included 16,000 adult spiders belonging to 177 species in 29 families. All specimens in that study were measured and results are in the appendix. Hidalgo County has 340 species recorded with Brazos County at 323 and Travis County at 314 species. These reflect the amount of collecting in the area.

Introduction

Gertsch and Mulaik (1940) published the first list of spiders in Texas. In a letter from Willis J. Gertsch dated October 20, 1982, he stated “Years ago a first listing of the Texas fauna was published by me based largely on Stanley Mulaik material, but it had to be abandoned because of other tasks.” They described 17 new species in nine families and provided distributions in select families (Ctenizidae, Dipluridae, Euctenizidae, Theraphosidae, Caponiidae, Dictynidae, Diguetidae, Dysderidae, Filistatidae, Mimetidae, Oecobiidae, Oonopidae, Pholcidae, Scytodidae, Segestriidae, Sicariidae, and Uloboridae). Bea Vogel published a “Bibliography of Texas Spiders” in 1970 based on literature records. The current paper is an update of her work and includes data from revisions and labels from specimens and many new records. Her list included 582 species, but she underestimated the diversity of spiders occurring in Texas partly because of more recent collecting in many areas of the state. Fifty-seven names in her list have been synonymized, 17 are not found in Texas, five are nomen dubium, one is undescribed, and three are duplicates resulting in 499 species (Table 4). Many revisions have since been published and much additional collecting has more than doubled the number of species recorded from Texas. Texas is a transition zone which includes extreme range-limits of many species and also has part of its border adjoining Mexico. The climate varies from subtropical in South Texas, to temperate conditions in the panhandle; and from desert in the west, to swamp in the east.

References are listed that mention Texas for each species. Some checklists have been published, which remain the only reference to a species’ occurrence in Texas. Illustrations of the genitalia of a species not included in published reports of a Texas occurrence are included as a reference in brackets. Counties listed are those in which published reports include a species occurring in Texas and includes unpublished records from collections. A species listed as “widespread” is widely distributed across Texas. Several species are listed as “Texas.” The latest name of a species is given with synonymy included where Texas is listed. [T] is a transfer. [S] is synonymy.

Collecting data from locality labels is provided where available. This was taken from collections and revisions. The collections at Texas A&M University, the author’s collection and that at Midwestern State University were searched. Records from West Texas A&M were donated. Cave records from the Texas Memorial Museum are included. The South West Arthropod Network (http://symbiota4.acis.ufl.edu/scan/portal/collections/) was accessed September 13, 2014. It includes records from Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Museum of Comparative Zoology, New Mexico State University, Texas Memorial Museum, and Texas Tech University.

Catalogs of Banks (1910), Bonnet (1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959), Buckle et al. (2001), Crosby (1905), Marx (1890), Petrunkevitch (1911), Roewer (1942, 1955), Roth (1988), Roth and Brown (1986), and Vogel (1962, 1967) were searched. See Brignoli (1983) and Platnick (1989, 1993, 1998, 2000, 2001, and 2003) for updates on new family classifications and current status of species. NMBE – World Spider Catalog (http://www.wsc.nmbe.ch/) was used for recent changes in names. Distribution in Petrunkevitch (1911) listed as all states, North America, East of Rocky Mountains or United States are not included here.

Several spider species have been listed as endangered by the US Fish & Wildlife Service (Federal Register 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003). These are mostly in the families Dictynidae and Leptonetidae.

History of collecting in Texas

General: Some areas of Texas have been heavily collected (Rio Grande Valley, Austin, College Station, Wichita Falls) while many areas remain little collected.

Sampling of counties: Many studies of spiders have been undertaken in Texas. Those based on a particular county include: Brazos (Dean and Sterling 1990, Henderson 2007), Dallas (Jones 1936), Ellis (Hunter 1988), Erath (Agnew et al. 1985), Galveston (Rapp 1984), Nacogdoches (Brown 1974), Potter (Roberts 2001), Smith (Rydzak and Killebrew 1982), Travis (Vincent and Frankie 1985), Walker (Dean and Sterling 1990; Dean et al. 1982), and Wichita (Carpenter 1972). Dean and Sterling (1987) and Gertsch and Mulaik (1940) attempted to study spiders across the state. Broussard and Horner (2006) studied a remote area of western Texas. Salmon and Horner (1977) studied ballooning spiders but did not identify them to species.

Sampling of agroecosystems: Many agroecosystems have been studied: cabbage (Irungu 2007), citrus (Breene et al. 1993a), corn (Knutson and Gilstrap 1989), cotton (Breene et al. 1993c, Dean et al. 1982, Dean and Sterling 1987, Kagan 1943, Pamanes-Guerrero 1975), guar (Rogers and Horner 1977), peanut (Agnew et al. 1985), pecan (Bumroongsook et al. 1992, Calixto et al. 2013, Liao et al. 1984), rice (Woods and Harrel 1976), saltcedar (Knutson et al. 2010), sugarcane (Breene et al. 1993b), wildflowers (Dean and Eger 1986), and woolly croton (Breene et al. 1988).

Cokendolpher et al. (2008) studied playas in the Texas panhandle. Yantis (2005) studied the spiders under trees (pine and post oak) in unmanaged habitats. Quinn (2000) and Wharton et al. (1996) studied the potential prey of the golden-cheeked warbler in juniper, oak and pine.

Jackman et al. (2008) studied the spiders collected from a large web at Lake Tawakoni State Park that received worldwide attention. A website (http://www.texasento.net/Social_Spider.htm) maintains the history of this story and mentions other webs. The major species involved was Tetragnatha guatemalensis O. P.-Cambridge. Two orb-weaver species that contributed to the web included Larinioides cornutus (Clerck) and Metazygia wittfeldae (McCook). A large web was found in 2010 at the Nails Creek Unit of Lake Somerville State Park in Lee County and another one in 2015 at Lakeside Park South in Dallas County. Both of these webs included the same species.

Sampling of families: Studies of specific families of spiders include: Gnaphosidae (Bowen et al. 2004, Zolnerowich and Horner 1985), Salticidae (Carpenter 1972, Hunter 1988), and crab spiders (Cokendolpher et al. 1979, Rydzak and Killebrew 1982).

Miscellaneous sampling: Spiders collected by mud dauber wasps were studied by Dean et al. (1988). A survey of ballooning spiders in east Texas was done by Dean and Sterling (1985, 1990). Reddell (1965, 1970) investigated the cave fauna. More recently, Cokendolpher (2004a), Cokendolpher and Reddell (2001a, b), Reddell and Cokendolpher (2004) have studied the fauna of select caves. Goetze and Flores (2001a, b) sampled spiders in Laredo but only identified them to family. Yantis (2005) sampled two major vegetation types: evergreen forest (pine) versus deciduous woodland (post oak woodland) to examine the influence of vegetation and soil on the occurrence of plant and animal species. In each plot, the percentage of trees was determined and noted here under habitat.

Theses and dissertations on Texas spiders: An online search of colleges and universities in Texas has turned up 46 theses and dissertations on Texas spiders that were identified either as the focus of the study or part of it. That includes 12 different colleges/universities (Lamar University in Beaumont [2], Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls [16], North Texas State University in Denton [1], Southern Methodist University in Dallas [1], Texas A&M University in College Station [13], Texas Tech University in Lubbock [2], Texas A&M International University in Laredo [1], Texas Christian University in Fort Worth [2], University of Houston [1], University of Texas at Arlington [3], University of Texas in Austin [3], and West Texas A&M University at Canyon [1].

Seventeen did not publish their work: Brady 1959, Cate 1992, Hanss 2000, Henderson 2007, Hunter 1988, Irungu 2007, Li 1990, Matelski 1982, Matts 1978, Pamanes-Guerrero 1975, Powell 2014, Quinn 2000, Reddick 1996, Roberts 2001, Trevino 2014, Yantis 2005, and Zaltsberg 1977.

An additional twenty-nine published their work [citation in brackets]: Agnew 1981 [Agnew et al. 1982], Barron 1995 [Barron et al. 1999], Bowen 2002 [Bowen et al. 2004], Breene 1988 [Breene et al. 1988, Breene et al. 1989], Broussard 2002 [Broussard and Horner 2006], Brown 1984 [Cokendolpher and Brown 1985], Bumroongsook 1986 [Bumroongsook et al. 1992], Carpenter 1969 [Carpenter 1972], Cokendolpher 1978 [Cokendolpher et al. 1979], Gann 2014 [Gann et al. 2015], Hamilton 2008 [Hamilton and Craig 2008, Hamilton et al. 2012], Hamilton 2009 [Hamilton et al. 2011], Harwood 1970 [Harwood 1974], Higgins 1988 [Higgins 1989, Higgins 1990, Higgins 1992b, Higgins and McGuinness 1990], Hoffmaster 1983 [Hoffmaster 1985], Horner 1967 [Horner and Stewart 1967], Janowski-Bell 1995 [Janowski-Bell and Horner 1999], Jones 1935 [Jones 1936], Kagan 1942 [Kagan 1943], Knutson 1987 [Knutson and Gilstrap 1989], Liao 1984 [Liao et al. 1984], Pickett 1985 [Pickett and Gilstrap 1986], Pritchett 1904a [Pritchett 1904b], Salmon 1976 [Salmon and Horner 1977], Steffenson 2014 [Steffenson et al. 2014], Tugman 1987 [Tugman et al. 1990], Woods 1974 [Woods and Harrel 1976], Zhang 2002 [Zhang et al. 2004], and Zolnerowich 1983 [Zolnerowich and Horner 1985].

Collectors: Many people have collected spiders in Texas. Among the earliest were Stanley and Dorothea Mulaik who collected many spiders from 1933–1940, mostly from 1934–1935, and holotypes of 99 species. They were counselors at several camps in the summer and Stanley taught at several institutions. They collected spiders, scorpions, turtles, and other small invertebrates mostly from the Rio Grande Valley toward Laredo and were paid a few cents each by the American Museum of Natural History. They moved to Utah in 1939 where Stanley pursued his PhD with Dr. Ralph Chamberlin. He described new taxa of isopods in his dissertation. He taught for many years and he and his wife were involved in several organizations. L. Irby Davis collected mostly in Cameron Co. from 1934–1936 with 22 holotypes collected. He went on to become a noted ornithologist. James Reddell studied cave fauna for many years and collected 38 holotypes from caves from 1962–2001 and an additional 7 species with colleagues, and greatly improved the knowledge of the fauna of Texas caves. The author has collected in more than one-half of Texas counties. A table containing numbers of species by county is in the appendix.

General keys to spiders include Kaston’s (1978) well-illustrated book. Jackman (1997) is a good field guide with color pictures of the more common spiders in Texas. Ubick et al. (2005) is the best illustrated general guide with chapters on all families and genera in the United States. Spiders of Connecticut (Kaston 1981) includes illustrations of species that are hard to find elsewhere.

Lowrie (1987) reported on the distribution and time periods of taxonomists who described spiders from Wisconsin.

Early workers were Europeans who described American species: Baron Charles A. Walckenaer from France (total of 47 species, 19 in 1837 and 22 in 1841), Count Eugen Keyserling from Germany (total of 54 species, 16 in 1880 and 12 in 1884), and others. Octavius P.-Cambridge from England (35 species from 1861–1902) and his nephew F. O. P.-Cambridge from England (15 species from 1899–1904) described many new spiders from Central America.

Twelve countries outside of the United States are represented mostly in the nineteenth century including England-66 species (5 workers), France-83 species (9 workers), and Germany-79 (7 workers). Bonnet (1945, in French) contains biographies of all arachnologists before 1940.

Early workers from America include: Nicholas M. Hentz (total of 98 species from 1821–1850, 11 in 1844, 15 in 1846, 32 in 1847, and 24 in 1850), James H. Emerton (total of 51 species from 1875–1924, 22 in 1882, 5 in 1884, 6 in 1890, and 4 in 1913), George W. and Elizabeth Peckham (total of 41 species from 1883–1909, 10 in 1888, 10 in 1901, and 9 in 1909), and Nathan Banks (total of 85 species from 1892–1926, 10 in 1892, 12 in 1895, 15 in 1896, 13 in 1898, 5 in 1901, and 13 in 1904). Henry C. McCook described 9 species from 1887–1894 and Thomas H. Montgomery described 9 species from 1902–1904.

Later American authors include: Ralph V. Chamberlin (total of 65 species from 1908–1940, 8 in 1919, 11 in 1922, 13 in 1924, 10 in 1936). He collaborated with three authors: Gertsch (11 species), Ivie (32 species from 1933–1945, 8 in 1935, 6 in 1944), and Angus M. Woodbury (3 species in 1929).

Willis J. Gertsch described 143 species from 1932–1992, 9 in 1933, 10 in 1934, 20 in 1935, 17 in 1936, 6 in 1941, 8 in 1974, 5 in 1984, and 51 in 1992. During the 1930’s, he collaborated with L. Irby Davis (19 species, 15 in 1936) and Stanley Mulaik (45 species, 28 in 1936, 17 in 1940). Gertsch also co-authored papers with Allan F. Archer (4 species), Wilton Ivie (8 species), Howard K. Wallace (8 species), Franklin Ennik (2 species), Norman I. Platnick (1 species), and Susan E. Riechert (3 species). Gertsch also collected in many localities in the United States and Mexico.

Herbert W. Levi described 23 species of araneids and theridiids from 1953–2003. Norman I. Platnick described 7 species and 12 with Mohammed Shadab from 1975–1988. James C. Cokendolpher described 9 species and 7 with other authors. Joel Ledford and coauthors described 10 species of leptonetids in 2012.

A total of 316 species were described from Texas and named from the following categories: location (11 city/town, 16 county, 21 state, 10 other); person (16 collector, 7 arachnologist, 40 other); appearance (18 morphology, 6 eyes, 3 color, 2 markings, 10 size); 2 Indian; 9 name of cave; 5 mountains; and 140 miscellaneous. Nine species were named after Stanley and Dorothea Mulaik who collected many spiders from Texas in the 1930’s.

Palp keys out to Myrmeciophila foliata Atkinson, 1886 because the distal dilation of metatarsus I is large (see fig. 14 in Bond and Platnick 2007) and the embolus is thick. However, specimens from Texas that were not seen for their revision have the distal dilation large but is Myrmeciophila comstocki. This is based on a Texas population (from several counties) not seen in their revision (Bond and Platnick, pers. comm.).

Note.

Ubick and Richman (2005a) noted that this species has been associated with Solenopsis invicta Buren, red imported fire ant, in Texas (page 82, Cokendolpher, pers. comm.). In a study in a post oak savanna with pasture habitat by Calixto (2008), a yearly total of Falconina and ants indicates that Falconina was most abundant in pitfall traps that contained the most Solenopsis invicta. Also the following ant genera were most abundant in traps with Falconina gracilis: Diplorhoptrum, Forelius, Monomorium, and Paratrechina. Two genera of ants, Brachymyrmex and Strumigenys, were only found in traps that contained the most Forelius gracilis. Both Strumigenys invicta and Forelius gracilis were more abundant in 2006 than 2007 at all three locations. More rain occurred in 2007 than 2006. Thanks to Alejandro Calixto for identifying the ants.

Acknowledgments

I thank Winfield Sterling for first getting me started in the taxonomy of spiders and the time needed to learn spider identification on the job. His support is immensely appreciated. Norman Horner and James Cokendolpher (Midwestern State University, Wichita Falls) helped teach me how to identify spiders and provided help with identifications when I first started in spider taxonomy. Horace Burke (Curator Emeritus, Texas A&M University) for helping to set up the spider collection and John Oswald (Curator) and Ed Riley (Associate Curator) for unlimited access to and support for expanding this collection. Ed traveled extensively collecting insects and spiders that added many additional records. Charles Agnew collected many spiders from Stephenville that was the start of the collection at Texas A&M University Insect Collection (TAMU). The late Bob Breene and Joe Eger also collected many spiders.

Norman provided access to the collection at Midwestern State University to obtain data from labels. He also provided a copy of his database with county records. James Cokendolpher (Texas Tech University, Lubbock) provided records, identifications, and other help. James Reddell (Texas Memorial Museum, Austin) gave me his collection of literature records of his own list and records of the Texas Memorial Museum. His collecting (with colleagues) and exploration of many caves in Texas has greatly expanded the knowledge of cave fauna.

Marvin Harris provided support and encouragement to identify spiders from two large field collections. Alejandro Calixto did most of the field work for the study in pecans and his dissertation work that provided a large collection from three different locations. David Sissom (West Texas A&M at Canyon) provided records from the Texas panhandle. Dick Walton (Natural History Services, Massachusetts) provided records of salticids from Cameron and Hidalgo Counties. I thank Susan Dean for support for the time spent to update and revise this publication and all the collecting trips throughout Texas to collect in counties that did not have any spiders recorded. I thank Hank Guarisco and Dave Richman for their review of this manuscript; their comments were very helpful. Dave helped with the etymology. I thank the two anonymous reviewers who provided very useful comments that improved this manuscript. G. B. Edwards helped with the identification of several problem salticids. Roy Vogtsberger (Midwestern State University) provided additional help including compiling a list of theses from that university. I thank Joel Hallan and Joe Lapp for their encouragement. The following collected many useful specimens: Takesha Henderson, Rose Irungu, Allen Knutson, Mike Merchant, the late Mark Muegge, Martin Nyffeler, Mike Quinn, Bob Pfannenstiel, and the late Jim Yantis as part of their thesis work or other projects. The late John Jackman was very supportive in publishing his own field guide to the spiders of Texas. Thanks also go to unnamed people who collected and sorted spiders and provided other information for this catalog. Bea Vogel’s bibliography provided the impetus to update her list. Many taxonomists identified specimens that helped them in their revisions and provided data. I also thank other members of the Department of Entomology for collecting specimens that provided additional records.

Prairie study

In a dissertation by Calixto (2008), a large number of pitfall traps (60 traps per site per week) were used to study ants at three sites in two counties. Spiders were retained (26,287 total, 63.1% adults) and each was measured. A total of 177 species in 29 families were recorded. The sizes of adults (in mm) are included here except those where the abdomen was missing or could not be identified to species. They were measured from the front of the cephalothorax (excluding the eyes) to the end of the abdomen (excluding the spinnerets). The number in brackets [] is the number of specimens of each size. The habitat is post oak savanna with pasture. This data is previously unpublished.

Golden Cheeked Warbler Project

Quinn (2000) studied the potential prey of the golden-cheeked warbler, an endangered bird, at two locations near Austin (Travis Co.) in 1993–1994. A total of 12,107 spiders (674 males, 687 females, and 10,746 immatures) were collected from four types of trees mainly by sweeping and beating. This data is previously unpublished.
