A53B87D6FF88FFF10A5FF8B8FE1CFFA4.taxon	biology_ecology	There is no clear indication for an ecological separation of the two species yet, but it is noteworthy that records of C. macedonicum come predominantly from montane localities, often in grassy habitats within forests or along forest edges, while there is a reported preference of C. striolatum for coastal dune habitats in France. In the Iberian Peninsula, however, records of C. striolatum are widespread at altitudes from sea level to 1900 m (Morano et al. 2014).	en	Rainer Breitling, Tobias Bauer, Arno Grabolle, Pierre Oger, Paolo Pantini, Johan Van Keer, Walter P.

A53B87D6FF8EFFFE0927FE78FDF8FF64.taxon	diagnosis	The female epigyne (Figs 10 - 11) is characterized by a very indistinct light septum, without a distinct posterior margin (different from B. decorata and the American species). The poor definition of the epigynal structures might be the reason why Simon (1877) considered his type a “ young ” (not full sclerotizedȓ) female. The width and shape of the septum are variable, but always broader than in the other species of the genus. Fig. 9: Pedipalp (retrolateral view) of Bassaniana baudueri ı based on a German specimen (Jantscher 2001: Tab. 3 b). 46 R. Breitling, T. Bauer, A. Grabolle, P. Oger, P. Pantini, J. Van Keer, W. P. Pfliegler, E. Jantscher & J. Dolanský As discussed above, the generic placement of B. baudueri has been unclear since its first description, with suggested affinities to Ozyptila, Xysticus and Coriarachne. The same holds true for the remaining Bassaniana species, which were treated as a distinct (unnamed) species group in Xysticus by Simon (1903) and partly united in their own genus (Platyxysticus) by Gertsch (1932), who later (1939, 1953) synonymized this genus with Coriarachne C. L. Koch, 1837, but maintained two distinct species groups, corresponding to the species currently placed in Coriarachne (brunneipes group) and Bassaniana (υersicolor group). Finally, the species were placed in Bassaniana Strand, 1928 (type species: Bassania aemula O. Pickard- Cambridge, 1898 = B. υersicolor) in its current sense by Ono (1985, 1988). Subsequently, Lehtinen proposed downgrading Bassaniana to a subgroup “ lower than subgenus ” of Coriarachne, implying (erroneously) that Ono’s separation of the two genera was based only on irrelevant differences in body shape (flattened vs. not quite so flattened), and Dondale (2009) suggested that at least the North American species of Bassaniana be placed in Coriarachne, arguing that the separation was based solely on “ equivocal differences in microhabitat ”. These arguments do not seem particularly convincing: both Bassaniana and Coriarachne s. str. are very homogenous and probably monophyletic assemblages. Of the two outliers, C. nigrostriata Simon, 1886, from Vietnam (holotype subadult female and additional adult male in MNHN, examined) is probably misplaced in this genus and might possibly belong in or near to Demogenes Simon, 1895, an unrevised genus (or group of genera) of coriarachnine-like spiders that includes some of the dominant ground-living thomisids in the Oriental region and Melanesia and resembles C. nigrostriata in its habitus and the structure of the pedipalp (Lehtinen 2004, Marusik et al. 2005). And B. ora Seo, 1992, from Korea is clearly very close to (and in all probability a junior synonym of) C. fulυipes according to the illustrations of the pedipalp provided by Seo and in Namkung (2003) (compare, e. g., figs. 2 and 3 in Seo 1992, to figs. 60 and 61 in Ono 1988). In contrast, the evidence for uniting the two groups in a single Coriarachne s. lat. seems to be based entirely on adaptive characters, in particular the flattened body, associated with the shared tree trunk habitat. It is certainly possible that Xysticus or Ozyptila are paraphyletic with respect to Bassaniana and / or Coriarachne s. str., but resolving their exact relationships will require a broader study of the entire Coriarachnini (sensu Ono 1988), preferably using a total evidence approach including molecular genetic characters. Until such a study becomes available, we conservatively maintain the generic placement of baudueri in Bassaniana, following the latest version of the World Spider Catalog (2016).	en	Rainer Breitling, Tobias Bauer, Arno Grabolle, Pierre Oger, Paolo Pantini, Johan Van Keer, Walter P.
