Heliophanus capicola Simon, 1901 a: 52 View in CoL , fig. 1; Wesołowska 1986: 225, figs 807–813.
Wesołowska (1986) described both sexes.
Diagnosis: The female of H. capicola can be recognised from congeners by the laterally placed copulatory openings and the sharply bending seminal ducts, leading to the oval median spermathecae ( Figs 24, 25 View Figs 24, 25 ). The male (not treated here) is characterised by the spike-like embolus and the presence of a retrolateral-distally directed small lobe of the bulb (see Wesołowska 1986: fig. 807).
