Abstract

A one-month pitfall trap survey in early summer of 2000 in the vicinity of prairie dog towns in the shortgrass prairie of western Kansas revealed the presence of seven species of spiders not previously recorded in Kansas. These species (Xysticus robinsoni, Castianeira alteranda, Schizocosa mimula, Cesonia sincera, Drassyllus mumai, Gnaphosa clara, and Steatoda albomaculata) occur predominantly in arid habitats in the southwestern United States. The discovery of seven new state records during this brief survey emphasizes the need for further field work in the shortgrass prairie biome.
