NIEUWSBRIEF VAN DE BELGISCHE ARACHNOLOGISCHE VERENIGING ARABEL, 34(2):116-127.
105 species of spiders were collected during a year-round sampling with pitfall traps of 3 heathland patches in
Provinciedomein Tillegembos south of Bruges. Several rare and interesting species were discovered and discussed. An
important part of the spider fauna in these heathlands consists of species characteristic for dry, oligotrophic
grasslands. Also some species of heathland and dunes were found. 13 species are mentioned as threatened on the Red
list of spiders of Flanders. Five species are catalogued as endangered, Seven species as vulnerable and one species is
catalogued as critically endangered on that list: Thyreosthenius biovatus. Restoration of heathlands near Bruges in the
context of spider- and insect-friendly management are discussed.
