Etymology. Named after the Czech arachnologist Jan Dolanský, our friend who helped us to discover this species.

Diagnosis. This species is characterised by long thin S-shaped conductor and embolus ( Fig. 5D View FIGURE 5 ). Its bulbus is similar to that of H. tavirensis , but tegulum is longer than wide, and embolus is more detached from tegulum. It possesses the cheliceral type algarvensis ( Fig. 2L View FIGURE 2 ). In contrast to the other two representatives of this cheliceral type, H. algarvensis and H. krejcii sp. nov., its posterior basal cheliceral tooth is shifted more basally (it is not next to the anterior basal tooth, Fig. 2L View FIGURE 2 ). The male pedipalpal tarsus is only slightly elongated, it exhibits, like in H. algarvensis , no special modifications ( Fig. 3L View FIGURE 3 ).

Description. Male (holotype). Carapace olive brown, matting ( Fig. 1L View FIGURE 1 ). Sternum yellow-brown, matting. Chelicerae brown. Legs yellow-brown, anterior legs and pedipalps darker. For measurements and leg spination see the Table 1 View TABLE 1 . Relative leg length: IV>I>II>III. Cymbium with elongated distal part ( Fig. 3L View FIGURE 3 ), and concave basal half of the prolateral side. Tegulum large, longer than wide ( Fig. 5D View FIGURE 5 ). Conductor thin, relatively long, S-shaped. Embolus dark, very long, thin, S-shaped, directing distally. Opisthosoma cylindrical, whitish.

Female unknown.

Variability. Male carapace length 1.9–2.5 mm (2.2±0.2, N=4).

Ecology. It was found in relatively dry leaf litter under Eucalyptus trees on a northern slope in early spring.

Distribution. Known only from the type locality, in the valley of Guadiana river, near Mértola, in southern

Portugal.
