WORKS ON SPIDERS Hirotsugu Ono: Department of Zoology, National Science Museum, Tokyo, 3=23-1 Hyakunin-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 169-0073 Japan. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The personal history offorgotten Japanese arachnologist, Kyukichi Kishida (1888-1968) is described for the first time based on information collected from the literature and through interviews withthe late Prof. Seikichi Kishida(1931-2002), thefourth son ofK. Kishida. Acomplete listofKishida’s works on spiders is provided. Much confusion resulted from the species and higher taxa descriptions or species designations made by Kishida. In many cases he first proposed a new name for an undescribed species found but left its description to his followers. Therefore, some species were really described by another person, while many nomina nuda were produced. A revision ofeach taxon with systematical and nomenclatural problems will be given in forthcoming parts ofthis serial (in preparation).

Kyukichi Kishida was born in 1888 at Maizuru in Kyoto Prefecture, in central Japan. He grew up during the middle of the Meiji Era (1868-1912), during which Japan became very quickly westernized. Between 1603 and 1867 (Edo Era) this country was closed and isolated from European sciences. Since Lud- wig Koch (1878) first reported on Japanese — spiders with Latin names, only European peo- Figure 1. Front cover of Lansania, the first ar- ple led this field.

Af= ter the war he returned to Tokyo in 1948 and was employed at the Forestry Agency. Unfor- tunately, the great confusion in social condi- tions that prevailed in Japan for about ten years during and after the war decreased his activities in arachnology and his interest tend- ed mainly toward mammalogy and ornithol- ogy during this period. Late in life in 1961, he received the Doctor of Science degree at Hiroshima University with a study in osteology of the Japanese Se- row Capricornulus (an artiodactyle) and in the next year he received the Doctor of Agricul- ture at Tokyo University of Agriculture with a study of Lagomorpha. He died at the age of 80 in 1968 from Par- kinson’s disease. Many unpublished manu- scripts found at his home after death suggest- ed thathis erudition with extensiveknowledge in zoology may not be shown in full.
