Chalcoscirtus infimus (Simon, 1868)

Distribution

It is widespread in the Palaearctic Region, occupying central Europe and the Mediterranean area as far as central Asia. There are many records scattered throughout Spain and Portugal, including several in the District of Beja. C. infimus is a diminutive Salticidae that moves at the epiedaphic level and in the lowest strata of vegetation. In Castro Verde, there are stable populations as attested by the data obtained in this survey, which probably shows a pre-breeding stage, given the absence of females and the high number of adult and juvenile males.
