The region is thought to have been so named by Capt. where 611 species have been recorded by the most recent summary (Kaston 1981). A few other areas have been sufficiently well-worked that statements about their faunas may be of significance, and here I report on one of these--Illinois and Indiana. The known spider fauna fauna All the species of animals found in a particular region, period, or special environment. Five faunal realms, based on terrestrial animal species, are generally recognized: Holarctic, including Nearactic (North America) and Paleartic (Eurasia and northern Africa); of Illinois stands at present at 550 species, that of Indiana, which has been less intensively studied, at 367. The total for the two states is 586 species (Table 1). Published checklists for these states include, for Illinois, Kaston (1955), Moulder moul·der v.

In the Scottish case, it is derived from the name Bartholomew, which was often shortened to Bate. Male descendants were then often called Beatty, or similar derivations like Beattie or Beatey. & Nelson (1979); for Indiana the most recent summary (Parker 1969) cites and summarizes previous publications. Probably over 600 species will eventually be recorded from Illinois and almost as many from Indiana. There are probably very few species of spiders known from either of these states that do not occur also in the other. Among the exceptions are cave-inhabiting species from Indiana, the cave region of which is somewhat isolated from that of Illinois. Comparison of this checklist with those previously published will show many name changes and deletions. These result from recent taxonomic tax·o·nom·ic also tax·o·nom·i·cal adj.

Brief notes on some species are presented in the checklist. Thirty-five Illinois species listed here have not appeared on any of the previous checklists, and five have been added to the Indiana checklists. Thirty of these have already been recorded in taxonomic revisions (25 species) or faunal lists (5 species). The others have been collected in southern Illinois during the last several years.

Reported only from eastern seaboard
states by Platnick & Shadab
(1988). The identify of the
species recorded from Illinois
as M. aurata has been confused
in the past. Specimens called
by this name are now assigned
to two different species. Illinois
specimens must be re-examined to
determine their identity.

that this species does not belong
to the genus Synaphosus, but that
it can not yet be placed in any
other genus. They also suggest
it is introduced, possibly
from Africa.

this species from Illinois, but
its presence in the state is to be
expected. Millidge did not have
access to specimens from all U.S.
collections, so probably did not
see those on which the Illinois
records were based.
