Roncus cadinensis Zaragoza in Zaragoza, de Mas & Ribera 2007: 84 –89, figs 21–37, map 8.

Material examined. 2ɗ, Spain, Catalonia, Lleida province, Ribera d’Urgellet, N42°19’17” E01°23’39”, altitude 670 m, collected 11 Sept. 2006, lgt. F. Š Ù áhlavský, deposited in DEUA. These topotypical specimens conform to the description given by Zaragoza et al. (2007). Because the original description of this species was in Spanish, we here provide a diagnosis in English:

Diagnosis. Roncus species of small size. Carapace longer than broad (ξ: ɗ 1.19×, 0.67/0.57, Ψ 1.16×, 0.74/0.64), as long or slightly shorter than palp femur, epistome short and rounded, chaetotaxy: 4-8-6-6=24. Tergites I–V: 6:10:11:11:12 setae. Anterior process of coxa I short and blunt, medial process without denticles. Palp femur finely granulated and without tubercles at paraxial face, one tubercle at middle of antiaxial face; ξ: ɗ 3.39×, 0.69/0.20; Ψ 3.45×, 0.77/0.22. Patella smooth. Chela, ξ: ɗ 3.34×, 1.17/0.35, Ψ 3.06×, 1.30/ 0.42. Ratio femur length/chelal finger 1.04–1.12×, finger/hand 1.06–1.21×. Two or three (seldom four) microsetae below trichobothria eb and esb. Leg IV claws with a tiny tooth on dorsal side; subterminal setae with three rami. ADDENDA: chelicera without granulation at base of movable finger; distance between trichobothria ib and ist about 1.5× distance ist–it (ξ: 1.56×), distance (ξ) sb–st 1.13× b–sb.
