Figs 7 View FIGURES 7 – 11 ̄11

Zelotes helvoloides Levy, 1998 View in CoL , p. 150, Figs 123-125 (in part, only male), not female (Figs 126-127 misplaced).

Material examined. Zelotes helvoloides Levy, 1998 ̄ Holotype: ♂, Sede Zin near Sede Boqer, Israel, 25.VI.1992 ( HUJ 14818), pitfall traps, leg. Y. Lubin ; ♀ paratype, Nahal Sekher , Negev, Israel, 6.VI. l991 ( HUJ 14655), pitfall traps, leg. Y. Lubin.

Comments. Close examination of the type material of this species leaves no doubt that it belongs to Cryptodrassus , “subgroup” of C. creticus (see further comments under C. helvolus ). For reasons explained in the comments of C. helvolus , the female described by Levy (1998) as the matching female of C. helvoloides is here designated as the still undescribed female of C. helvolus . Hence C. helvoloides is not yet recorded from Cyprus.

Distribution. Israel.
