Taxonomic remarks:
According to the structure of the epigyne, namely, the thin and long proscape surrounded by elongated lateral walls, the strongly reduced distal part of the scape including the lateral lobes and the stretcher, this species clearly belongs to
Palliduphantes
Saaristo & Tanasevitch, 2001
. Details of the male palp also support its placement in
Palliduphantes
, i.e., the shape of the embolus and of the paracymbium (see
Saaristo & Tanasevitch, 2001
). Thus, the allocation of
Lepthyphantes gladiola
in
Mansuphantes
Saaristo & Tanasevitch, 1996
by
Saaristo & Tanasevitch (1996)
should be considered as erroneous.
Range:
Central Mediterranean.
