Females: L: ca. 4 mm, H: 5.3 mm, 50 PR+2 AR+T. Large species, with variable, alternating pale yellowish and dark tawny-brownish to blackish colour. Prozonites blackish-tawny, metazonites anteriorly dark brown-black and posteriorly yellow-whitish, dorsum with black midorsal line, legs reddish-brown, head and telson dark brown. Telson: anal valves with 2 parallel rows of dense short setae on the margin and 4–5 on the disc; subanal scale triangular, protruding and setose; preanal ring with a short caudal projection with 2–2 setae and bearing a small hyaline process. Gonopods. Promerite ( P) ( Figs 10, 11, 14–19) broadest at the basis, bisinuate, distally tapering and apically with an acuminate tip directed posteriorly ( A), mesal ridge ( Mr) broad at the base, disappearing at midlenght, rudimentary telopodite ( T) basal. Posterior gonopod ( Figs 11–13, 20–33): Mesomerite ( Ms) slightly shorter than promerite, elongate, curved anteromesad, uniformly broad, slightly narrowing apically, lateral margin with a lateral process at midlength and sometimes two smaller ones apically on the mesal margin ( b); solenomerite ( S) complex with accessory branches; main process broad with a distolateral lamella, basally lodging the fovea ( F) and apically protruding into a main branch lodging the opening of the seminal groove ( g), and 2 other processes ( a1, a2) of varied shapes and arrangements, parasolenomerite (main accessory branch: Ps) of the same length or much longer than the mesomerite ( Ms), slender, distally curved and connected to the main process by a basal jagged median lamella with a variable degree of serration bearing a third process ( a3) ( Fig. 11) close to the base of the parasolenomerite ( Ps); paracoxite ( Px) slender and strongly curved, pointing mesad, emerging from a large, broad coxite ( Co), abruptly narrowed at midlength ( Figs 13, 27–33).    Distribution. Granada, ( Attems 1903), Cádiz, Algeciras ( Verhoeff 1910as  Schizophyllum hoplites); Málaga, Ronda ( Attems 1952); Algeciras, Tarifa ( Brolemann 1928); Sevilla ( Bailey and De Mendonça 1990). Additionally recorded specimens come from Granadaand Jaén provinces.   Habitat.Common in grasslands ( Bailey and De Mendonça 1990). Also found in oak litter and under small rocks on clay-loam soil.
