Species Composition and Abundance of Riceland Spiders in Yezin Area, Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar

Spiders play an important role in regulating insect pests in agriculture ecosystems. In this study, spiders in rice fields were collected by visual countat weekly interval during monsoon rice, 2018. A total of 554 individuals, representing 7 families, 14 spider species and only a few unknown specimens were captured. Lycosidae was found as the most dominant family and comprised38.81 of the total catch, followed by Tetragnathidae 35.74 and Linyphiiade 11.37 . Oxyopidae 5.96 and Araneidae 5.96 showed almost the same abundance. Salticidae 1.26 and Theridae 0.96 were the least abundant families. As an individual species, Pardosapseudoannulata Lycosidae represented as the most abundant spider whereasColeosomoctomaculatum Theridae showed the least abundantaraneid fauna. On the other hand, spiders were positively correlated with some climatic factors such as sunshine, rainfall and temperature during study period.
