TEGENARIA AFF. REGISPYRRHI (1) ( FIG. 24E, F )

Material examined

Greece: Kefallonia: Sami, ‘ d’entrée de la grotte Drogarati’ , 1 ♀ ( Teg. regispyrrhi , det. Brignoli, MHNG), 6.iv.1970, Hauser .

Comments

Slightly smaller than specimens of Teg. regispyrrhi (CL 1.73, CW 1.29). Coloration pattern not visible on specimen at hand; may be a result of ethanol preservation. Differs from Teg. regispyrrhi in slightly different spination patterns (e.g. no spines at tarsi) and the epigyne and vulva.
