REMARKS: The male palp of
C
. aff.
silvestris
from
Greece
is very similar to that of specimens from the Italian and Romanian populations of
C. silvestris
, but have a slightly longer embolus; females also somewhat differ by vulva arrangement. Noteworthy, a male from Euboea has the embolus of intermediate size, which is a bit shorter than in males from
Thessalie
or
Epirus
, but still longer than in the Italian and Romanian populations. Thus, the systematic position of
C
. aff.
silvestris
from
Greece
is problematic.
