The 5 taxa can be divided into 2 spp.-groups, each containing a forest-species and 1-2 high-alpine forms. They are characterized and discussed, and a key is included. Patterns are interpreted as follows: the forest-species C. silvicola and C. l. lichenum represent parental forms, overwintering in arboreal refuges outside the Alps and extending and reducing their areas with changing ecological conditions. Allied taxa occurring in and restricted to high biota have evolved from populations isolated in glacial times: C. nivalis (Switzerland), C. l. nigerrima subsp. nov.

	abstract = {The media coverage was intense when the Hobo spider, Tegenaria agrestis (Walckenaer, 1802) (Fig. 1), was first recorded for Denmark in 2005 in connection with a joint Swedish-Danish entomological survey of the new artificial island Peberholm, situated in Oresund between Sweden and Denmark. Few people knew that the spider had already been found in eastern Jutland in 2002, since this finding had not been published. The Hobo spider was broadcasted on TV and in newspapers for a few days, and it even inspired two Danish medical doctors to publish a paper on the first possible Hobo spider bite in Denmark, even though neither patient nor doctors had seen or found any spider. The Hobo spider is widespread in Europe but had not been officially re-corded from Scandinavia prior to 2005. In the southern part of Europe it is found in natural habitats, often in dry open areas, but it can also be found in forest clearings and along forest edges. In northern Europe it is mainly associated with wastelands, around construction sites, railway areas and harbours. Except for the Danish "case" above, there are no records of medical problems with Tegenaria agrestis in Europe. It was introduced to North America in the beginning of the last century, and here it is mainly found in houses, where it is considered aggressive and dangerous. There are many medical reports on spider bites and necrotic wounds caused by Tegenaria agrestis. Due to the potential problems with this species, we decided to perform a survey in order to: 1) check the occurrence and distribution of Tegenaria agrestis on Zealand, 2) search for egg sacs to determine whether Tegenaria agrestis is established and breed in Denmark, 3) investigate potential routes of dispersal into Denmark, and 4) decide whether Tegenaria agrestis can be considered an invasive species. We checked 28 suitable localities on Zealand (Table 1, Fig. 13) in the period September 26 to November 3, 2008, and found adult Tegenaria agrestis on 22 of these. Most specimens were found under wooden logs, boards, etc. (Figs 4[long dash]9), at wastelands associated with railway areas (Fig. 2), construction sites or harbors (Fig. 3). Records from other parts of Europe were collected from a large number of helpful colleagues and from the literature, and geo referenced records were used to construct a map showing the records of Tegenaria agrestis within 10 years intervals. (Fig. 12). From this it can be seen that the oldest records are from southern Europe, and that northern Europe mainly has more recent records. The map (Fig. 12) shows that Tegenaria agrestis has been spreading northwards. For instance in the United Kingdom, where the species was first recorded from southern UK in 1949, then subsequently re-corded from Wales and England in the following years, from southern Scot-land in 1971 and northern Scotland in 2006. The records also show that it was first recorded from Ireland in 2000. Egg sacs (Figs 10[long dash]11) were found at most localities in Denmark, proving that Tegenaria agrestis is breeding in Denmark. Due to the late time of the year, only a single male was found. Tegenaria agrestis has not yet been recorded from Norway and Finland, but has been found at three localities in southern Sweden since 2005 (Malmo, Ystad and Kristanstad). The literature supports the general distribution tendency shown on Fig. 12, with the first records from southern Europe predating the 1950s and subsequent first records from northern European countries after 1950. All Danish records of Tegenaria agrestis are mapped on Fig. 13. Given the distribution of Tegenaria agrestis on Zealand, we expect the species to be wide-spread elsewhere in Denmark. All findings of Tegenaria agrestis in Denmark are associated with harbors, construction sites and railway areas, and it is therefore likely that the species has been introduced to Denmark with goods and building materials. It seems to be dependent on open warm habitats, like those associated with waste grounds, and it is therefore highly unlikely that the species will be able to spread to natural habitats in Denmark, except perhaps sand dunes and heathlands. In Denmark, Tegenaria agrestis has been found together with Tegenaria atrica, Amaurobius fenestralis and Textrix denticulatus [long dash] species that occur naturally on the localities where 7: agrestis have been found. Therefore, there is not yet any reason to assume that T. agrestis is invasive, i.e, an alien species whose introduction and/or spread threatens local biodiversity. There is no reason to fear Tegenaria agrestis more than any other Tegenaria species, since there is no proven connection between bites of this species and the medical problems reported in the literature. None of these medical cases seems to be based on a correctly identified T. agrestis. The authors of this paper can confirm that common house spiders, Tegenaria atrica and T. domestics, can indeed bite, when provoked, and their fangs can penetrate the human skin, but aside from the pain the fangs generate when they penetrate the skin (like a pin prick), the bites have no additional effect, and do not generate any tissue damage.},

This number was established after a taxonomic revision of all available collections containing agelenid spiders in Bulgaria. One new record is also added (Tegenaria zinzulusensis Dresco). Species of the family Agelenidae are distributed in all districts in Bulgaria, occurring in lowland, forest, mountains, caves and buildings or close to them. Regarding their distribution by altitude, there are only 5 species which inhabit the high mountain zone, but only Cryphoeca pirini Drensky is characteristic of the alpine belt. According to their current distribution. the Bulgarian agelenid spiders can be split into 11 zoogeographical categories, grouped into 5 complexes (Cosmopolitan, Palaearctic, European, Southeast European, Mediterranean). The Southeast European complex is the best represented (40\%) and shows quite well the local character of this fauna and the main role of the Balkan peninsula in its origin and formation.},

They are best represented in the forest (montane coniferous belt - 269, 83.8\%, montane-deciduous belt -232, 72.3\%) and in the subalpine belt (101, 31.5\%). In the other belts spiders are present in roughly equal proportions (submediterranean -38, 11.8\%, alpine -35, 10.9\%, submontane -33, 10.3\%). Most characteristic is the high mountain species complex, which comprises most endemics and ancient elements, some of which are also distributed in the montane zone. Most of these elements can be regarded as neoendemics and derivatives of their respective Holarctic, Palaearctic and European sister species, which have speciated due to disjunction of ranges during the Pleistocene. A few species can be considered as remnants of an ancient mediterranean mountain fauna. So Pirin mountain can be considered as a possible centre of speciation.},

	abstract = {The integrity of species is not fixed and may vary geographically. Here we investigate the geographic distributions and interactions of species in the Tegenaria atrica group (Araneae: Agelenidae). Detailed mapping of T. saeva and T. gigantea in England and Wales shows them to be broadly allopatric in southern England with a tightly defined, and possibly long-standing, narrow zone of parapatry in central southern England. In the north of England (Yorkshire), by contrast, the species are broadly sympatric as a result of recent range expansions. GIS techniques are used to map the species distributions and to quantify, we believe for the first time, the intimacy of interspecific interactions. The extent and nature of hybridization in these two areas is examined through regression and multivariate analyses of morphology. We show that the relative incidence of hybridization is much greater in Yorkshire than within the parapatric zone in the south. Clear patterns of asymmetric introgression are observed in both northern and southern England, with a greater impact of T. gigantea on T. saeva than vice versa. We find no sign of morphological reproductive character displacement at the zone of parapatry that might indicate reinforcement, although we cannot exclude more subtle effects, for example via cuticular pheromones. The integrity of these two species seems to be breaking down in northern England, a process that might gain momentum as the gene pools become more similar.},

The analysis of material concerning the genus Tegenaria Latreille, 1804 proves a taxonomical mistake: the erroneous interpretation of male of Tegenaria bucculenta (L. Koch, 1868). In this paper the characters of the true male of T. bucculenta are presented. These data gives some possible discussions about their reproductive phenology, habitat and chorology. We also suggest the probably affinities with others three Iberian species: Tegenaria herculea Fage, 1931, Tegenaria hispanica Fage, 1931, and Tegenaria racovitzai E. Simon, 1907.},

The spiders are classified into 15 zoogeographical categories combined into 4 chorological complexes. The composition of the fauna shows that the spider fauna of the Sofia region has a Palearctic and European character. Endemics and Southeasteuropean species emphasize the local character of this fauna, but their low persentage suggests an important process of colonization.},
