Remarks –
This is a new species record for Dutch fauna. All the morphological features of the Dutch specimens fit well with those described by
Papadoulis et al. (2009)
. There are four features which were not indicated in the original description: fixed digit of chelicera with 2 or 3 teeth,
JV
5
and StIV serrated, presence of idl3 on dorsal shield and ventrianal shield rarely having 2 preanal setae.
