Mangora acalypha (Walckenaer, 1802)

Distribution

It is also a very common species throughout the Palaearctic Zone. In the Iberian Peninsula, it has been cited on numerous occasions and from numerous localities that attest to its widespread occurrence ( de Biurrun et al. 2019). It has been previously reported for the District of Beja ( Barrientos et al. 2020). Like H. albovittata , it is common in herbaceous and shrubby environments, building its webs on the vegetation; however, captures in Castro Verde are scarce.
