Rennes, n°2018-0169).</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Zimirina corsica sp. nov. can be distinguished from the males of other Zimirina species by the following characters: the palp of the North African species, Z. deserticola Dalmas, 1919, Z. penicillata (Simon, 1893), Z. tenuidens Denis, 1956, and the Macaronesian species Z. hirsuta Cooke, 1964, have a short tibia and a RTA with a bifid end (Figs 1–4); the palp of Z. spinicymbia Wunderlich, 1992 has a longer tibia than the cymbium (Fig. 5); the cymbial process is very small in Z. cineris Cooke, 1964 and in Z. gomerae (Schmidt, 1981) (Figs 6, 7); the anterior median eyes in Z. nabavii Wunderlich, 2011 are much smaller than the lateral ones (Fig. 11); the tegulum does not fill the entire alveolus in Z. lepida (Blackwall, 1859), there is no ventral hump on the tibia (Fig. 9), and the apical setae of the cymbium bristles do not show a truncated appearance as in Z. corsica sp. nov.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Total length: 3.1 mm; length of the cephalothorax: 1.18 mm, width: 0.93; length of the sternum: 0.82 mm, width: 0.58 mm. Leg formula 4123: PI: 3.53 mm PII: 2.72 mm; PIII: 2.64 mm; PIV: 4.2 mm.</p><p>Cephalothorax provided on margin with fairly thick setae, aligned (Fig. 14), with posterior notch, without thoracic fovea (note: many setae have fallen off). Eyes are arranged in a circle, with anterior row recurved, posterior row procurved. Eye group approximately 1.7 times wider than long (0.28 mm / 0.17 mm). Eyes of approximately equal size are arranged in an open circle. Posterior median eyes are separated from each other by approximately one diameter. Sternum continuous oval, without marked angles at the insertion of the legs and provided with tuft of radiating setae at posterior end (Fig. 15). Integument pale testaceous with cephalothorax slightly darker. Legs entirely pale testaceous.</p><p>Pedipalp. The end of the tibia has a thin apical blunt process, curved forward in retrolateral view (Figs 10, 16 a). There is a dark ventral bump at the base of this spine. Cymbium with a retrolateral dentiform spur is located in the basal third; it is finished with a fairly straight brush of bristles (Fig. 16 c, d). Tegulum occupies the entire alveolus. Embolus originates at 9 o’clock position and curved prolaterally to 12 o’clock position. Palpus femur (0.43 mm) is approximately three times as long as the tibia (0.15). Cymbium is less than twice as long as the tibia (1.7 times).</p><p>Female.
