Koch, 1870 was mentioned in several papers based only on material identified by L. Koch from Galicia and Bukovina (parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). A revision of the type material of this species from Galicia, which is preserved in the collection of the Museum of Natural History in Vienna, and the additional material in the collection of the State Museum of Natural History of the NAS of Ukraine shows that these series exclusively consist of specimens of Neriene emphana (Walckenaer, 1841). Based on the review of these specimens and analysis of the original description we consider that Linyphia palilis L. Koch, 1870 is a younger synonym of Neriene emphana. The specimen deposited in Vienna can be considered a syntype. A lectotype is designated for Koch's name. Simon (1929) misinterpreted Koch's description and applied the combination Pityohyphantes palilis to a dark morph of P. phrygianus (C. L. Koch, 1836); this is not identical to Linyphia palilis L. Koch, 1870. Therefore, Pityohyphantes palilis Simon 1929 cannot be currently recognized as a synonym of Neriene emphana owing to its questionable status as a species.","PeriodicalId":38197,"journal":{"name":"Arachnology","volume":"98 1","pages":"543 - 546"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76095407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Citizens who encounter scorpions in their homes bring them alive to our public health vivarium. The age of the scorpions was unknown at the time of delivery, but the time was recorded as the start of their longevity in our terrarium. All scorpions were juveniles or adult when brought to us. Some were removed from the study and transferred to another facility for venom extraction and anti-venom production. For scorpions continuing in this study, handling was minimized, and no venom extraction was done. This survival time to death is considered important because dangerous scorpions are often maintained in public health vivaria for possible venom extraction. Data collection was within the time period from 2015 to 2021, with the distinguishing features of each scorpion used for identification. The survival time for males ranged from 42 and 503 days and for females 69 and 365 days. The half-life in captivity of the received scorpions was 285 (Confidence Interval: 203 to 365) days.","PeriodicalId":38197,"journal":{"name":"Arachnology","volume":"42 1","pages":"547 - 550"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73816311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
