Etymology.
Named after the Czech arachnologist Tomáš Krejčí, our friend who helped us to discover this species.
Diagnosis.
It resembles
H.algarvensis
in tegulum longer than wide, and conductor and embolus of approximately the same length (
Fig. 5C
), but it can be distinguished from the last species by the longer conductor and embolus.
Description.
Male (
holotype
).
Carapace yellow brown, matting (
Fig. 1K
). Sternum yellow, matting. Chelicerae brown. Legs pale yellow, pedipalps brown. For measurements and leg spination see the
Table 1
. Relative leg length: IV>I>II>III. Cymbium tapering, with elongated distal part (
Fig. 3K
, like in
H. algarvensis
). Tegulum large, longer than wide (
Fig. 5C
). Conductor long, thin, S-shaped, pointed, directing distally. Embolus dark, very long, thin, flattened, its basal part directs distally, then it is bent proximally and distally, so its tip directs distally again. Opisthosoma cylindrical, whitish.
Female unknown.
Ecology.
It was found in early spring in humid leaf litter under
Quercus suber
on the bottom of the valley.
Distribution.
So far known only from Ameixial in the mountain range in southern
Portugal
.
