Abstract
The spider fauna of peanut fields in Erath and Comanche counties in the Texas West Cross-Timbers region was sampled during 1981-1983. A total of 134 spp. comprising 79 genera and 18 families was collected. The Salticidae had the greatest diversity with 22 spp. The families Araneidae. Clubionidae, Dictynidae, Gnaphosidae, Linyphiidae, Lycosidae, Philodromidae, Theridiidae and Thomisidae were also species-rich. Spider collections from habitats other than peanut fields added another 138 spp. making a total of 272 spp. and 129 genera belonging to 28 families. Twenty-four species and 1 family (Zoridae) are new records for Texas.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
