Nomisia ripariensis View in CoL ; Roewer, 1928: 114; Werner, 1934: 164; Hadjissarantos, 1940: 75; Caporiacco, 1948: 61; Dunin, 1984: 50; Levy, 1995; 931; Chatzaki & al., 2002 a: 585.

Diagnosis: N. ripariensis is distinguished by the distinct shape of the tibial apophysis, only similar to N. conigera (but see differences in the latter). The epigyne and vulva resemble the general shape of N. excerpta , N. recepta and N. peloponnesiaca n. sp. but differ from them in details of the combination of characters: lateral margins of epigyne are open at posterior part (unlike N. excerpta and partly N. recepta ) and with an extra vertical neck at anterior part (unlike N. peloponnesiaca n. sp.); introductory ducts meet together anteriorly (unlike N. recepta ) and spermathecae are less globular than in N. excerpta .

New records: GREECE: Pserimos islet, SE part - abandoned cultivations near the beach, phrygana: 3 ♂♂ 2 ♀ (ptf, 02. IV.05 to 07. VI.05); cultivations near the only settlement of the islet: 9 ♂♂ 2 ♀ (ptf, 02. IV.05 to 07. VI.05); Nisyros: Pergousa islet: 1 ♂ 1 ♀ (ptf, 05. V.05 to 06. VI.05) [all leg. M. Chatzaki] .

Comments. N. ripariensis is mostly found to sand dunes and coastal areas ( Chatzaki et al. 2002; Buchholz 2009) and feeds on ants ( Levy 1995).

Distribution: Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Azerbaijan.
