Genus Tegenaria Latreille, 1804 View in CoL View at ENA

According to BOLZERN et al. (2009), the differences between the genera Tegenaria and Malthonica Simon, 1898 remain unclear. GUSEINOV et al. (2005) distinguished the two genera by the embolus length but BOLZERN et al. (2008) argued that this character is unsuitable for phylogenetic evaluation. Assigning a new species to a correct genus thus becomes difficult without a comprehensive revision of the two genera ( BOLZERN et al., 2009). The species described below has a relatively short embolus and is provisionally placed in the genus Tegenaria .
