Description
Loxosceles rufescens (Dufour, 1820)
Material (deposited in IBER): ALBANIA: 2 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀, Saranda, N 39.8763°, E 20.0142°, 118 m a.s.l., 06.10.2019, lgt. M. Naumova & T. Trifonov. In open, dry and sunny habitat without vegetation, between newly built houses, under stones.
The original range of L. rufescens is in the circum-Mediterranean region. However, due to human activity, it is now distributed in Southern Europe and Northern Africa to Iran and introduced in USA, Mexico, Macaronesia, South Africa, India, China, Japan, Korea, Laos, Thailand, Australia, Hawaii (GERTSCH & ENNIK 1983, HARVEY 1996, MIRSHAMSI et al. 2013, CHOMPHUPHUANG et al. 2016, TRIVEDI & DAL 2019, WSC 2020). For the Balkans it is reported from Croatia (GRBAC et al. 2019), European Turkey (YIĞIT et al. 2008, DANIŞMAN et al. 2019) and Greece (OSMANS & CHATZAKI 2005, RUSSELL- SMITH et al. 2011, OSMANS et al. 2013), including Kerkyra (Corfu) Island (RUSSELL- SMITH 2014), so finding it in Saranda was not surprising.
