Taxon list of Araneae from Germany compiled in the context of the GBOL project

This list [internal Araneae_ME_2011] was arranged by the list curator Dr. Hubert Höfer in 2011 and regularly complemented based on changes in the World Spider Catalog (http://www.wsc.nmbe.ch/), communicated by Theo Blick (Arachnologische Gesellschaft). It contains to date 1518 taxa, of which 1058 are valid species, including some introduced (established or not) species and 36 synonyms (far from complete, only very new ones). The species are ordered in a classification above genus level (e.g. 38 families).

Species information always contains author and year of description, status as accepted name and indication of the status in the Red List of Germany and the states Baden-Württemberg and Bayern. Synonyms or notes, comments on the taxonomy are given only in few cases.
