Notes
Distribution data on
Lepthyphantes impudicus
is scarce consisting of only 4 records. This species seems to be associated with Laurisilva and the lack of congruence between historical data (
Denis 1962
) and the current distribution of Laurisilva may be explained by the lack of precision in the identification of sampling sites and/or by the decrease of Laurisilva cover in the last decades.
