110 DUNÁNTÚLI DOLGOZATOK (A) TERMÉSZETTUDOMÁNYI SOROZAT 9. (1998) Faunistic results of the investigation of the spider (Araneae) fauna along the Dráva Region (Hungary) Csaba SZINETÁR This is the first work on spider faunistics dealing with the Dráva region of the Danube (Duna)-Dráva National Park. The collections originate from the period 1975-1997 from sampling spots of 14 localities of the Hungarian Dráva region. The samples between 1975 and 1985 were collected by Imre Loksa, but the data of his collections were not published. In the species list the data originating from 1975, 1980 and 1985 from the location Bares are all related to his investigation. Sampling by the author, as well as by the staff of Janus Pannonius Museum were carried out in the period 1992-1997. The spiders were collected using Barber's ground-traps, by sweeping net, by beating and by hand-held suction sampler (D-vac).The most profoundly investigated areas were the Barcsi Borókás, the Őrtilos Hills (Zákány- Őrtilosi-dombság) and the Órtilos Lowland. As regards the spider species of these areas, the author will analyse them in forthcoming publications in more details. The list of species in this work gives the localities and the years of sampling. Out of the 251 spider species there were 6 new species with no earlier Hungarian data: Euryopis saukea Levi, 1951, Rugathodes instabile O.P.-Cambridge, 1871, Theridion hemerobius Simon, 1914, Enoplognatha latimana Hippa & Oksala, 1982, Clubiona alpicola Kulczynski, 1881, Philodromus albidus Kulczynski, 1911. In addition to these, the author draws the attention to some other rare species. Author's address: Dr. Csaba SZINETÁR Department of Zoology Berzsenyi College H-9701 Szombathely Károlyi G. tér 4.
