Agyneta pseudorurestris Wunderlich, 1980

Distribution

A. pseudorurestris has a typically Mediterranean distribution and is one of the most frequent and abundant species of the genus Agyneta Hull, 1911. It is reported for numerous localities in the Iberian Peninsula; also in the District of Beja. It produces small space webs, especially in herbaceous environments, very close to the ground; although it is also found in wooded environments linked to the shrub layer.

Notes

248♂♂, 264♀♀, 893 jj.

The juvenile forms are hardly distinguishable from other related species of the same genus; since no adults of other Agyneta species have been caught, we have opted to identify all of them as A. pseudorurestris .
