During last 10 years, based on personal collectings, 21 species from 14 genera of Salticidae (Araneae) are recorded from vicinity of Jagodina: Ballus chalybeius, Carrhotus xanthogramma, Evarcha arcuata, Evarcha falcata, Heliophanus auratus, Heliophanus cupreus, Heliophanus flavipes, Heliophanus kochii, Icius hamatus, Icius subinermis, Leptorchestes berolinensis, Macaroeris nidicolens, Marpissa muscosa, Marpissa nivoyi, Mendoza canestrinii, Pellenes tripunctatus, Phintella castriesiana, Phlegra fasciata, Pseudeuophrys erratica, Pseudeuophrys lanigera, Salticus scenicus. All those species are provided with habitat notes and global distribution. New records for the spider fauna of Serbia are Heliophanus kochii (Simon 1868), Icius subinermis (Simon, 1937), Marpissa nivoyi (Lucas, 1846) and Mendoza canestrinii (Ninni, 1868). Key words: Salticidae, Jumping spiders, Jagodina, Serbia. Introduction The Salticidae Blackwall, 1841 or jumping spiders, are the most diverse globally distributed spider family mostly tropical, with 5337 species placed in 573 genera (P l a t n i c k , 2011). In the spider fauna of Europe, this family is represented with 396 species (H e l s d i n g e n , 2010). The salticid fauna of Serbia is not yet fully known. According to D e l t s h e v et al. (2003), only 49 species of jumping spiders have been recorded in Serbia. S t a n k o v i ć (2010) reported two species of Salticidae as new for the fauna of Serbia: Icius hamatus (C. L. Koch, 1846) and Pseudeuophrys lanigera (Simon, 1871). In this paper, original faunistic records and habitat notes of 21 species from 14 genera of jumping spiders from vicinity of Jagodina with information of globally distribution and zoogeographic analysis are presented. New species records for the spider fauna of Serbia are: Heliophanus kochii (Simon, 1868), Icius subinermis (Simon, 1937), Marpissa nivoyi (Lucas, 1846) and Mendoza canestrinii (Ninni, 1868). Materials and methods Study area. All specimens of the jumping spiders species were collected in wide vicinity of Jagodina (the central part of Serbia) (UTM EP16,17,26,27; 21°11‘-21°21‘, 43°56‘-44°03‘; altitude range 109-300m). The study area included parts of middle Morava valley and southeastern Šumadija. It belongs to the Peripannonic region of Serbia. There are three landscapes types (biomes) in the study area: biome of submediterranean Oak woodlands, biome of South European deciduous montane woodlands and biome of South European 3 (1) • September 2012: 37-42 http://www.faunaeur.org/full_results.php?id=182682 http://www.faunaeur.org/full_results.php?id=182682 BIOLOGICA NYSSANA 3 (1)  September 2012: 37-42 Stanković, B.  Contribution to the knowledge… 38 deciduous woods in lowland and inundated areas (M a t v e j e v & P u n c e r , 1989). The climate is moderately continental. According to the relevant meteorological station in Ćuprija, the average annual air temperatures are between 11.2 and 11.7°C approximately, and the average annual rainfall is 619 mm. During the eight month period of March-November, the average monthly air temperatures were higher to 10°C. Collection, preservation and identification of specimens. The material has been collected mainly during last 10 years by hand, sweep net and pitfall trapping by the author. Material was preserved in 70% ethyl alcohol with added glycerin (9:1 by volume) and kept in the author’s collection. Determinations, photographs and drawings were made using stereomicroscope (BTC STM-1 x20) and light microscope (Meopta) from preserved specimens. For new records, photos or original drawings of the male palp or female epigyne are presented. Determinations were made mainly according to P r ó s z y ń s k i (1976, 1979, 1997, 2003, 2005), H e i m e r & N e n t w i g (1991), R a k o v & L o g u n o v (1996a), R a k o v (1997), L o g u n o v (1996, 1998b, 1999b), Ż a b k a (1997) and M e t z n e r (1999, 2011).

New for Serbia. Habitat: I.subinermis favors moist habitats, for example near streams or on moist meadows. It builds a silken retreat in infructescences of rushes or under rocks near rivers or creeks. It will retreat there when the weather is unfavorable (B e l l m a n n , 1997); urban habitat (present data); Remarks: The records of Mediterranean species I.subinermis, indicates the possibility of the introduction with imported fruits and spread into synanthropic habitats, like second Mediterranean species from this genus Icius hamatus, recorded in Central and West Europe (T o m a s i e w i c z & W e s o ł o w s k a , 2006). However, another possibility, may be indicates spread of distribution from Macedonia. Figure 2. Icius subinermis, epigyne. a b Figure 3.

Conclusion Total of 21 species from 14 genera of family Salticidae are presented. New records for the spider fauna of Serbia are: Heliophanus kochii (Simon 1868), Icius subinermis (Simon, 1937), Marpissa nivoyi (Lucas, 1846) and Mendoza canestrinii (Ninni, 1868). From the results presented in this study, a total of 55 species of Salticidae registered in Serbia. In the area and vicinity of Jagodina registered 38.2% of total. Zoogeographical analysis of species found in the region Jagodina (Fig. 6), it can be concluded that the widespread species (holarctic, palearctic) most represented with 18 species or 86%. The largest number of species with transpalearctic distribution, 8 species or 38,1%, followed by 7 westpalearctic species (33.3%), 3 mediterranean species (14,3%), 2 amphipalearctic species (9.5%), and the 1 holarctic species (4.8%). Jumping spiders are grouped into zoogeographical categories according to P r ó s z y ń s k i (1976), L o g u n o v (1992), S z u t s e t a l .
