Description. Females, in general, resemble L. femineus but are much larger. Adult males have not yet been collected in Israel.

Female. Measurements (3ΨΨ): total length 4.3–4.5; carapace length 1.5–2.0, width 1.1–1.5, index 1.3–1.4; labial index 0.80–0.82; clypeal index 1.0; MOQ index 6.0–6.1; legs length: I 4.0–5.5, II 3.5–5.0, III 3.0–4.2, IV 4.7–6.3; patella-tibia index 1.5–1.9.

Epigynum . Large oval, bicolored scape covers greater part of epigynal plate but not the spermathecae (Fig. 15); spermathecal structures in dorsal inner view as in Fig. 16.

Diagnosis. Based on female. The shape of the large oval scape and the form of the spermathecal structures are distinctive characters that clearly distinguish L. albidus from all other Leptodrassus species.

Distribution. Spain to Crete, Israel - new record. Records. Israel: Sedot Mikha, Adullam, Lakhish .
