Distribution

Throughout the western Palaearctic area, P. impresa is one of the most frequent and abundant species of the family Theridiidae ; it has also been cited from North America, so we can consider it a Holarctic species. Cardoso et al. (2009) and Barrientos et al. (2020) cite it from the District of Beja; this is the first data from the Castro Verde area. Its webs are spread amongst vegetation in shrub and herbaceous strata.
