Syedra apetlonensis Wunderlich, 1992

Material: 18.05.2014 M2 1m.

Determination: WUNDERLICH 1992.

Global distribution: Austria, Slovakia, Russia.

Habitat: In non-pastured meadow.

Note: Very similar to the species Syedra myrmicarum (Kulczyński, 1882) , and sometimes misidentified ( AAKRA et al. 2016). According to the literature listed in AAKRA et al. (2016), this species can be found in dry non-pastured meadows, steppe and meadows but also in bird nests, and has been considered to be a Central European endemic. Its similarity in habitus to other known myrmecophile linyphiids (i.e. pale brownish overall color, unmodified carapace, etc.) suggest that this species could exhibit this lifestyle too, even if this has not been recorded in the literature ( AAKRA et al. 2016). In our material, it was found in meadows. This species is not treated in any of the consulted Red List of species.
