Gonatium nemorivagum View in CoL (O. P.-Cambridge, 1875)

Gonatium hilare (Thorell, 1875) sensu Eskov, 1992: 55 View in CoL , misidentification, examined. FIGS 48-52

Erigone cristatopalpus Simon, 1884 View in CoL , epigyne, dorsal view. (48, 49) Specimens from Toggia, Italy. (50, 51) Specimens from Lake Tignes, France. (52) Specimen from Foppolo, Italy.

MATERIAL: 1 ♀, Greece, Samos , SW of Karlovasi, near cloister “Kimisos Theodoki” ,

Kosmadei, 600-650 m a.s.l., Pinus forest, 24.XI.1991, leg. C. Lienhard [ZS-91/53].

REMARKS: This species is here reported for the first time for the Greek fauna.

DISTRIBUTION: In view of the fact that the species is very similar to G. hilare (Thorell, 1875) and specimens probably have been repeatedly misidentified, its distribution is unclear now (see Millidge, 1981).

NOTE: A record of G. hilare from Sakhalin Island, Russia actually refers to G. nipponicum Millidge, 1981 , earlier known from Japan only ( Millidge, 1981). Thus, the known distribution of G. hilare is restricted to Europe.

MATERIAL EXAMINED: 1 ♀ ( ZMMU, mislabeled as G. hilare ), Russia, Sakhalin, Korsakov District, Lesnoye , 24.IX.1987, leg. A. Basarukin. – 1 Ƌ subad. ( ZMMU, mislabeled as G. hilare ), Makarov District, Tsapko , 2.VIII.1987, leg. A. Basarukin.
