Diagnosis

Zaitunia annulipes differs from the congroupers by males possessing a shorter embolus gently curved in the subapical part and by females having the receptacles with the median units considerably larger than the outer ones (in congroupers embolus is considerably longer and more sharply curved subapically, and the median and outer receptacles are subequal in size – cf. Figs 10 View Fig. 10 I, 11F–G, 12G-I, 13C–D).

Female (from Germasogenea)

HABITUS. See Fig. 8 View Fig. 8 E–G.

BODY LENGTH. 3.45.

COLOUR. As in male.

CARAPACE. 1.26 long, 1.10 wide.

EYES. AME 0.08, ALE 0.15, PLE 0.11, PME 0.09, AME–AME 0.04.

ENDOGYNE ( Fig. 9 View Fig. 9 D–F). With 2 pairs of receptacles. Both pairs with corrugated stems; pores located on heads. Median receptacles two times as long as lateral, separated by about 1.5 diameters.

Variation

Body size in males 3.19–3.67, in females 3.05–3.95. Coloration without noticeable variation.

Note

Male of this species is described for the first time. Although this species was already transferred to Zaitunia by Brignoli (1982), this nomenclatorial act was overlooked by Brignoli (1983) himself and by subsequent catalogs ( Platnick 1989, 1993, 2015; World Spider Catalog 2015).

Ecology

According to the label data, the species was found in the maquis (Mediterranean shrub) litter.

Distribution

Cyprus ( Fig. 46 View Fig. 46 ).
