Material
1 ♂ (IRSNB, holotype of Arboricaria koeni), Greece, Kreta, Chania, [in bark], 22.V.1994 (leg. Koen van Keer); 1 ♂ (IRSNB, paratype of Arboricaria koeni, left palp missing), Kreta, Chania, 22-5-1994; 1 ♂ (ZMMU; left palp and leg I only), Russia, Rostov-on-Don, 47°13'33"N, 39°41'59"E, window of living flat, 8.06.1978 (leg. et det. A.V. Ponomarev).
Taxonomic remarks
Originally, the male was matched with the female with some doubts (Chyzer and Kulczyński 1897[4]), because they were taken from different, but not extremely distant localities of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Syntypes (1 ♂, 1 ♀, “Ungarn” = “Hungary”) are listed by Wunderlich (1980)[1], but he only redescribed the female. Comparing the epigynes of Arboricaria sociabilis and Arboricaria koeni shows no essential difference between them; therefore, these names are to be synonymized. The position of the copulatory openings is a little variable; in the type of Arboricaria sociabilis, they are closer to the middle part of the epigynal groove, in the Arboricaria koeni type and the Arboricaria sociabilis material as depicted by Pfliegler (2014)[2] closer to the posterior one-third.
A male syntype of Micaria sociabilis from Mukachevo is currently kept in the Zoological Museum in Warsaw, Poland, but both palps are missing (W. Wawer, pers. comm.). The tibial apophysis as redrawn by Wunderlich (1980[1]: Fig. 36a, see also Fig. 14) from the original description (Chyzer and Kulczyński 1897[4]: tab. X, fig. 25b, see also Fig. 12) is certainly incorrect. No deep bifurcation is visible in the original figure. Miller (1971)[5] in his key to Czechoslovak spiders, pointed out: “Tibial apophysis apically [sic! – KM] forked with 2 teeth, lower tooth narrower and more pointed; it is laterally slightly bent, ventrally rounded outside and bent forward and it has the same width” (translated from Czech by A. Šestaková). Miller’s specimen of Micaria sociabilis was never depicted and is currently missing among the other Micaria samples kept in the National Museum in Prague, Czech Republic (Kůrka 1994[6]). The picture of the Micaria sociabilis male palp as presented by Pfliegler (2014)[2] certainly indicates the identity of this species with Arboricaria koeni (male types examined, see above in Material) and additionally confirms the synonymy of these names. To be exact, not enough details are visible in the publication, but a correct shape of the embolus is shown in the original photograph kindly sent to me by the author (cf. Figs 15 and 16 with traced embolus).
Characteristically, a male specimen from Rostov-on-Don was initially identified by A.V. Ponomarev as Micaria sociabilis, only later re-labeled as Arboricaria koeni.
Distribution
Ukraine: Transcarpathia: Mukachevo (= Munkácz in Chyzer & Kulczyński [1897]). NE-Hungary (two other localities from the original description; Debrecen [Pfliegler 2014[2]]); Spain, continental France, together with Corsica, Italy, Croatia, Macedonia, continental Greece, together with Crete, Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia (Helsdingen 2014[7], for Micaria sociabilis and Micaria koeni). Russia: Rostov Area (Ponomarev and Tsvetkov 2006a[8], as Arboricaria cyrnea; Ponomarev 2008[9]; Ponomarev and Dvadnenko 2013[10]), Krasnodar Province: Kushchevskaya (Ponomarev and Tsvetkov 2006b[11], as Arboricaria brignolii; Ponomarev 2008[9]). Azerbaijan (Caucasus Major: Huseynov, Alieva, 2010, as Arboricaria koeni, Apsheron Peninsula: Huseynov 2002[12], as Arboricaria koeni), all for Micaria (or Arboricaria) koeni. The records of Arboricaria cyrnea from the Rostov Area, as well as those of Arboricaria brignolii from the Rostov Area and Krasnodar Province belong to Arboricaria sociabilis (A.V. Ponomarev, pers. comm., as Arboricaria koeni).
