i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, located in the southern slopes of the Catalan Pyrenees. The specimens were captured either by beating, sweeping or direct sampling, but not by pitfall traps, which suggests that this species is found in the vegetation at a certain height above the ground. Only the three specimens captured by beating method were captured during the day, whereas the sweeping and direct sampling ones were captured at night, which indicates that this species is mostly active at night.

Schenkel, 1938. However, the male palp of the single specimen available showed slight differences in the shape of the median apophysis, slightly tilted, and the more pronounced basal curvature of the shorter embolus, which refrained us from assigning it to any of the former species. The DNA barcodes, on the other hand, identified the specimen unambiguously as
