A. Tanasevitch, T. Piterkina &amp; S. Zonstein.</p> <p>PARATYPES: 1 ♀; 1 ♀ (MHNG); from same locality, collected together with the holotype.</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY: The specific epithet, a noun in apposition, is taken from the name of type locality.</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS: The new species is characterized by the presence of a thick and long outgrowth on the anterior radical process in the embolic division on the male palp. The female is diagnosed by the presence of a cotter-shaped flat elevation in the median furrow area of the epigyne, as well as by the triangular shape of its dorsal plate.</p> <p>DESCRIPTION: Male (holotype). Total length 1.88. Carapace dark brown, modified as shown in Figs 1-2, 0.93 long, 0.58 wide. Chelicerae 0.30 long, unmodified. Legs brown. Leg I 2.27 long (0.63+0.20+0.53+0.53+0.38), IV 2.44 long (0.73+0.20+0.63+0.55+0.33). Chaetotaxy: 2.2.1.1, spines on tibiae I-II very small and poor visible, on III-IV about 1-1.5 diameter of segment. TmI 0.40. Metatarsus IV without trichobothrium. Palp as in Figs 3-4: palpal tibia narrow, elongated, with a deep hollow apically. Paracymbium small, simple, hook-shaped. Distal suprategular apophysis narrow, long, V-shaped and curved, regularly tapering towards a pointed tip. Anterior radical process large, semi-lunar, with a thick and long outgrowth rising from its middle part (“X” in Figs 3-4). Embolus long, semi-circular, with a membraneous inner edge. Abdomen 0.95 long, 0.70 wide, grey.</p> <p>Female. Total length 1.63. Carapace 0.73 long, 0.50 wide. Chelicerae 0.35 long. Leg I 2.01 long (0.55+0.18+0.48+0.45+0.35), IV 2.06 long (0.60+0.18+0.53+0.45- +0.30). Spines on tibiae about 1-1.5 diameter of segment. TmI 0.44. Abdomen 1.03 long, 0.70 wide. Epigyne and vulva as in Figs 5-7: each part of a bisected ventral plate with a cotter-shaped flat elevation in median fissure area, dorsal plate triangular.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC REMARKS: The new species is very similar to the Eastern Ancient Mediterranean A. caucasicus Tanasevitch, 1987, but differs well by the shape of the male carapace which resembles that of A. altissimus Simon, 1884a, by the presence of a thick and long outgrowth on the anterior radical process in the male palp, as well as by the presence of a cotter-shaped flat elevation in the median fissure area and of the triangular posterior dorsal plate in the female (Fig. 7 cf. Fig. 8).</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION: Known from the type locality only.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A8A262FFFEFFD3FF7E50A93393FAE4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Zonstein.</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY: The specific name, a noun in apposition, refers to the shape of the proscape.</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS: The species is characterized by the armed paracymbium and the shape of the lamella characteristica in the male, as well as by the circular proscape and the reduced stretcher in the female.</p> <p>DESCRIPTION: Male (holotype). Total length 2.00. Carapace unmodified, 0.88 long, 0.75 wide, yellow, with a narrow dark margin. Chelicerae 0.40 long. Legs yellow. Leg I 3.93 long (1.00+0.25+1.05+0.95+0.68), leg IV 4.11 long (1.03+0.25+1.03 +1.05+0.75). Chaetotaxy: Ti I: 2-1-1-0, II: 2-0-1-0, III-IV: 2-0-0-0; Mt I-III: 1-0-0-0, IV: 0-0-0-0. TmI 0.17. Palp as in Figs 17-21: cymbium without posterodorsal outgrowth. Paracymbium U-shaped, with two well-sclerotized teeth of different size. Radix with a spear-shaped outgrowth at base of lamella characteristica. Lamella characteristica relatively short and wide, with a hollow apically. Terminal apophysis unipartite, long and narrow. Embolus with a thick embolus proper and a small thumb, carina narrow. Fickert’s gland spherical. Abdomen 1.00 long, 0.68 wide, pale grey.</p> <p>Female (from Adullam). Total length 2.15. Carapace unmodified, 0.83 long, 0.68 wide. Chelicerae 0.33 long. Leg I 3.88 long (1.05+0.30+1.00+0.90+0.63), leg IV 3.78 long (1.05+0.25+0.98+0.90+0.60). TmI 0.18. Epigyne as in Figs 22-23: proscape circle-shaped, distal part of scape very wide, stretcher reduced, a pit situated at the end of distal part of scape.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC REMARKS: This species is similar to the Anatolian I. turok Tanasevitch, 2011 (known from the male only), in particular in the presence of a spearshaped outgrowth on the radix near the base of the lamella characteristica. The new species differs clearly from I. turok by the peculiar shape of the lamella characteristica and the larger proximal teeth on the paracymbium.</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION: Known from Israel only.</p> <p>FIGS 17-21</p> <p>Improphantes breviscapus sp. n., Ƌ paratype from Adullam.

A. Timm &amp; T. Assmann.</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY: The specific name, an adjective, is derived from the Latin “ rostrum ”, meaning “bird beak”, referring to the shape of the epigynal process.</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS: The new species is characterized by the peculiar shape of the palpal tibia and by the presence of a hook-like outgrowth on the distal suprategular apophysis in the male, as well as by the beak-like downward-turned epigynal process in the female.</p> <p>DESCRIPTION: Male (holotype). Total length 2.70. Carapace unmodified, dark brown, 1.20 long, 0.93 wide. Chelicerae 0.55 long, unmodified. Legs brown. Leg I 3.29 long (0.95+0.28+0.85+0.68+0.53), IV 3.41 long (1.00+0.28+0.90+0.75+0.48). Chaetotaxy: 1.1.1.1, length of spines about 1.5 diameter of segment. TmI 0.36. Metatarsus IV without trichobothrium. Palp as in Figs 24-28: palpal tibia strongly modified: retrolateral outgrowth claw-shaped; dorsal one conical, sharpened; prolateral outgrowth narrow, very long, arched distally. Paracymbium small, simple. Distal suprategular apophysis straight, rounded apically, with a hook-like outgrowth distally (“Z” in Figs 24, 27) and a small flat lobe near its base. Median membrane long and covering tips of radical anterior apophysis and of embolus. Radical part of embolic division small, rounded; anterior apophysis strongly protruded, twisted; embolus long, with a membranous edge, forming a wide circle. Abdomen 1.63 long, 0.93 wide; dark grey, with sparse strong hairs dorsally.</p> <p>Female (from Mt Meron). Total length 2.75. Habitus as in Fig. 29. Carapace dark brown, unmodified, 1.05 long, 0.88 wide. Chelicerae unmodified, 0.43 long. Leg I 3.29 long (0.95+0.33+0.80+0.68+0.53), IV 3.41 long (1.03+0.30+0.85+0.73+0.50). Chaetotaxy: 1.1.1.1, length of spines about 2 diameter of segment, or a bit longer. TmI 0.38. Abdomen 2.05 long, 1.30 wide, dark grey, with sparse strong hairs dorsally. Epigyne as in Figs 30-33: ventral plate well protruding, turned down, beak-like. Dorsal plate rectangular with rounded angles.</p> <p>TAXONOMIC REMARKS: This species is similar to the South European T. auritus (L. Koch, 1869) and the West Mediterranean T. trifidus Denis, 1965, but differs clearly by the shape of the palpal tibia, the presence of a hook-like outgrowth on the distal suprategular apophysis, as well as by the beak-like epigynal process which is strongly turned downwards.</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION: The species is known only from the Upper Galilee, Israel.</p> <p>FIGS 24-28</p> <p>Trichoncus rostralis sp. n., Ƌ paratype from Mt Meron.
