The spider genus Rhysodromus Schick, 1965 in the Crimea (Aranei: Philodromidae)

Two species of Rhysodromus are recorded from the Crimea: R. fallax (Sundevall, 1833) and R. histrio (Latreille, 1819). R. fallax is reported for the Crimean fauna for the first time. Diagnostic drawings, distribution, spatial distribution and phenology for both species in the Crimea are provided. The validity and composition of the genus Rhysodromus are discussed. Here we suggest 24 new combinations: Rhysodromus ablegminus (Szita et Logunov, 2008), comb.n.; R. angulobulbis (Szita et Logunov, 2008), comb.n.; R. caspius (Ponomarev, 2008), comb.n.; R. cinerascens (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1885), comb.n.; R. halophilus (Levy, 1977), comb.n.; R. hierosolymitanus (Levy, 1977), comb.n.; R. hierroensis (Wunderlich, 1992), comb.n.; R. hui (Yang et Mao, 2002), comb.n.; R. lanchowensis (Shenkel, 1936), comb.n.; R. lepidus (Blackwall, 1870), comb.n.; R. leucomarginatus (Paik, 1979), comb.n.; R. mysticus (Dondale et Redner, 1975), comb.n.; R. naxcivanicus (Logunov et Huseynov, 2008), comb.n.; R. omercooperi (Denis, 1947), comb.n.; R. petrobius (Schmidt et Krause, 1995), comb.n.; R. pictus (Kroneberg, 1875), comb.n.; R. rikhtent (Logunov, Huseynov, 2008), comb.n.; R. signatus (0. Pickard-Cambridge, 1869), comb.n.; R. sinaiticus (Levy, 1977), comb.n.; R. timidus (Szita et Logunov, 2008), comb.n.; R. triangulatus (Urita et Song, 1987), comb.n.; R. tuviensis (Szita et Logunov, 2008), comb.n.; R. xerophilus (Szita et Logunov, 2008), comb.n. and R. xinjiangensis (Szita et Logunov, 2008) comb.n.; all ex Philodromus. The species name Rhysodromus omercooperi (Denis, 1947) is synonymized with R. fallax (Sundevall, 1833). Thus, genus Rhysodromus now contains 26 valid species.
