Males can be distinguished from the similar H. subiasi by very concave prolateral side of pedipalp tarsus, and by proportions of conductor and embolus. The embolus is thicker and relatively shorter, and the conductor is of similar width in its whole length, while in H. subiasi it is markedly tapering ( Fig. 4E ). FIGURE 6.

The vulva is of the type minoccii . It resembles H. subiasi but it can be distinguished from the later species by larger paired posterior diverticles, easy to overlook in H. subiasi ( Fig. 7B —pd) and by more compact hooks of the anchor-shaped anterior arc ( Fig. 7A ven.).
Description. The female has not been known so far. The somatic characters correspond with those described for the holotype male. The vulva is well developed. The anterior arc is high in ventral view. The median rod carries large crest, it does not contain any spermatheca. The anterior arc with median rod strongly resemble anchor in the ventral/dorsal view. The transversal bar carries a couple of translucent membranous pockets ( Fig. 7A ). Ecology. In humid leaf litter under trees or bush on shaded slopes. Females lay eggs at the beginning of spring. The presence of independent juveniles at the same time suggests a two-year life cycle. Distribution. Relatively large area comprising southern Spain (Ferrandez 1990: 37, fig. 3; Ferrandez & Ferrandez 1990: 49, fig. 4; Machado & Ferrandez 1991: 58 , fig. 8) and southern Portugal .
