Abstract

The troglophilic spider subspecies Nesticus latiscapus kosodensis Yaginuma, 1972 is compared with its nominal species N. latiscapus Yaginuma, 1972 using an integrated taxonomic approach. Both morphological and molecular analysis suggest the two taxa are distinct, rejecting the status of subspecies. In the light of these results, N. kosodensis stat. nov. is elevated to species level and both species are redescribed. We expect that future revisions of Japanese Nesticidae will find that many currently designated subspecies are in fact distinct species. Taxonomic revision of long-established and unrevised subspecies may help to improve the conservation efforts aiming to protect the Japanese endemic cave fauna.

野生种，1972。日本洞穴脚手架网蜘蛛亚种(蜘蛛目，巢蛛科)的分子和形态分离

用综合分类学方法对亲缘蛛亚种Nesticus latiscapus kosodensis Yaginuma, 1972与其名义种N. latiscapus Yaginuma, 1972进行了比较。形态学和分子分析都表明这两个分类群是不同的，拒绝亚种的地位。在此基础上，本文将该物种提升至种级，并对两个种进行了重新描述。我们预计，未来对日本巢蚊科的修订将发现，许多目前指定的亚种实际上是不同的物种。对已建立和未修订的亚种进行分类修订，有助于提高日本特有洞穴动物群的保护水平。

期刊介绍： Subterranean Biology is an international journal published by Pensoft on behalf of the International Society for Subterranean Biology [SIBIOS-ISSB] for the publication of original and significant contributions on all aspects of subterranean life. The Journal will consider original scientific papers dealing with any aspect of subterranean ecosystems and their components focusing on biology, ecology, evolution and conservation. Reviews and Commentaries: The journal welcomes review articles on aspects of subterranean biology. They should be submitted in the same way as research articles but use a simple layout with no more than three levels of headings. Commentaries on previous matter published in the journal may be also considered. Both reviews and commentaries will be reviewed. Book Reviews: Reviews of books, symposia volumes and conferences pertinent to the journal are welcome. The journal publishes electronic versions of the articles when these are ready to publish, without delays that might be caused by completion of an issue. These electronic versions are not "pre-prints" but final and immutable (Version of Record), hence available for the purposes of biological nomenclature. The date indicated on the electronic version is to be considered the actual publication date.
