Die Arachnologische Gesellschaft e.V (AraGes) ist ein Zusammenschluß aller deutschsprachigen Arachnologen, die sich auf wissenschaftlicher Basis mit Spinnentieren (excl. Milben und Vogelspinnenzucht) beschäftigen. Ziel dieser Vereinigung ist es, die in Mitteleuropa vorkommenden Spinnentiere (Webspinnen, Weberknechte, Pseudoskorpione, Skorpione und Palpigradi) zu erforschen sowie diese Aktivitäten inhaltlich zu fördern und zu unterstützen. Es werden von den in dieser Gesellschaft tätigen Personen genetische, ökologische, faunistische, taxonomische, physiologische, ethologische und biogeographische Untersuchungen durchgeführt. ...

The World Spider Catalog is based largely on Roewer's volumes, with additions from Bonnet, Brignoli, my own three catalog volumes, and more recent literature. At least in theory, the listings include: all descriptions of new species; all post-Roewer transfers or synonymies of previously described taxa; and all taxonomically useful (i.e., illustrated) references to previously described taxa. Not included are: fossils; subfamilial or subgeneric divisions and allocations; or mentions of taxa in purely faunistic works (unless accompanied by useful illustrations). ...

Part I is a relational Database, allowing immediate cross accessibility to taxonomic data, distribution, literature references in abbreviated form, distribution and list of collections containing particular species. Additional facilities permit displaing lists of species in particular papers, countries and collections, lists of authors. Miniatures of drawings and photographs, as well as abbreviated coded literature references and names of collections expands into full after a click. All these data are interconnected. Part II - Diagnostic Drawings Library, presents the same data in expanded form, available in alphabetical order, with some cross links. Part III - Catalogue of the Salticidae of the World gives lierature quotations to all species, with crosslinks to drawings. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Department of Entomology (California Academy of Sciences) houses over 18,300 primary type specimens of insects, arachnids, and myriapods. All types have been cataloged and databased. Images of specimens and labels are available for some groups, including the families Carabidae (Coleoptera), Formicidae (Hymenoptera), Therevidae (Diptera) and Acroceridae (Diptera). In addition to CAS holdings, the Academy also serves as a depository of primary types for 13 other institutions in the western United States. We receive these specimens on permanent or indefinite loan, depending on the institution and its regulations. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The British Arachnological Society (BAS) was founded as Flatford Mill Spider Group in 1958. Their objectives are to further the education of the public by promoting the study of the Arachnida, especially spiders (Araneae), pseudoscorpions (Pseudoscorpiones) and harvestmen (Opiliones), and to maintain close co-operation and understanding between amateur and professional arachnologists. The society publishes the Bulletin of the British Arachnological Society. Three integrated working groups were presented on the web site: the Spider Recording Scheme, the Pseudoscorpion Recorders' Group and the Opiliones Recording Scheme. The checklist of the British spiders is linked with the databases of the National Biodiversity Network (NBN) and the Natural History Museum. Therefore additional information about the distribution of each species is available. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The American Arachnological Society (AAS) was founded in August 1972 to promote the study of Spiders (Araneae) and other arachnids, to achieve closer cooperation and understanding between amateur and professional arachnologists. The Society publishes the Journal of Arachnology and the newsletter American Arachnology. The web site presents a photo gallery with pictures of all major arachnid groups. ...

This project, Record Maps for Arachnids in Germany, was established to serve as the working basis and a source of data with respect to geographical distribution and conservation efforts. It is intended to provide solid answers to the typical questions that arise with the report of a spider: Has the species already been found in the region? Is it rare or infrequent? How widespread is the species in Germany? All records of a chosen species could be displayed on a map of Germany. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
