Comments. This species was previously only known from Greece (Peloponnese Peninsula and Naxos Island) (
Wunderlich, 1995
). It can be easily recognised by the pattern on carapace (
Figs 1
a-b) and abdomen (
Fig1 1a, c
), long hairs covering the abdomen (
Fig. 1a
) and the shape of the copulatory organs. It was recorded in Israel for the first time. Haifa is the south-easternmost record of
