Taxonomic remarks:
The species was original described under
Lepthyphantes
Menge, 1866
from
Corsica
(
Wunderlich, 1980
). Examining the genitalia of
paratypes
of both sexes showed that this species belongs to
Improphantes
Saaristo & Tanasevitch, 1996
, and in its slender embolus is similar to
I. turok
Tanasevitch, 2011
(from
Turkey
) and to
I. cypriot
Tanasevitch, 2011
(from
Cyprus
).
Range:
Central Mediterranean, presumed endemic to the island.
