Harpactea sp.

Figs 53–56

Remarks. Because of the smaller body size of the females of Harpactea sp., it is impossible to attribute them to any of the above described new species of Harpactea , having in mind that usually females of Harpactea are larger than males. In situation of missing males, full identification of this species is not possible at the moment. It is therefore treated as separate, but unidentified species. Here follows a brief description of this female.

Material examined. 1 ♀ ( NHMC, FC 12145, used for description), Dadia National Park, field crops, Site 6, 23.05– 02.07.2011, leg. K. Zografou; Site 1 (i: 1 ♀;) Site 6 (a: 1 ♀;) Site 15 (a: 2 ♀.)

Description. Total length 3.98; carapace 1.78 long, 1.29 wide. Cephalic region 0.81 wide. Abdomen 2.20 long, 0.93 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.10, PME 0.07, PLE 0.09, AME-AME 0.05, AME-PLE 0.01, PME- PME 0.01, PME-PLE 0.02. Distance between AME the same size as their diameter. Clypeus 0.06 long. Chelicerae 0.79 long, 0.34 wide. Sternum 1.10 long, 0.87 wide. Carapace, leg and abdominal coloration faded due to bad preservation. Leg measurements and leg spination are given in Tables 14 and 15 . Vulva as in Figs 53–56 . Spermathecae triangular, with apical crest approximately the same size as length of spermathecae; transversal bar and posterior diverticulum indistinguishable.
