Diagnosis

Subspecies of Nemastoma bidentatum with Ch basal article with a saw-like series of 1–3 μm high denticles on anterior margin of ventral hump, and a row of 5–11 denticles and tubercles in the distal half of Pa-Fe. Rec sem of 12–14 slightly elongated balloon-like vesicles.

Etymology

The subspecies name ʻ martensi ʼ is dedicated to Jochen Martens (Mainz), our teacher, colleague and friend, who provided the first modern revision of harvestmen in Slovenia.

Distribution

Croatia, Slovenia. Vertical distribution in Slovenia: 320−1030 m a.s.l. Type locality: Poljane pri Podgradu (45.50° N, 14.10° E, 597 m a.s.l.), Slovenia.

Ecology

Nemastoma b. martensi ssp. nov. is native to lowland to submontane habitats with thermophile scrub and Quercetalia pubescenti–petraeae and Tilia platyphyllos Scop. forest communities, with partly substantial admixture of Fagus sylvatica and Corylus avellana L. in southwestern Slovenia. Phenology: adults probably eurychronous.
