Remarks.

Although closely related to A. fasciger and A. terebratus , which have among the longest emboli and copulatory ducts in sitticines, Attulus pubescens has among the shortest known in sitticines. The very large RTA is distinctive. Introduced to North America in the 20th century ( Cutler 1990).
