Harpactea hombergii is currently stated as the type species of the genus Harpactea (World Spider Catalog 2021). It is through synonymy of Aranea hombergii and Dysdera latreillii. Templeton (1835) described a new dysderid genus Harpactes for Dysdera latreillii. He was not sure whether his specimens were conspecific with Blackwall’s (1832) Dysdera latreillii, therefore he called it D. latreillii with question mark. Vigors (in Templeton 1835), the editor of the paper, emended the name to D. templetoni. Later, Bristowe (1939) noticed that the name Harpactes was already preoccupied, so he replaced it with Harpactea. In summary, the type species of the genus Harpactea is undoubtedly Dysdera latreillii, not Aranea hombergii (see also Thaler &amp; Knoflach 2002, Řezáč et al. 2014).</p> <p>Diagnostic characters. Diagnostic characters of Harpactea include the body size, colour of prosoma, leg spination and the shape of male chelicerae and copulatory organs. Harpactea are usually small to medium size spiders (carapace length 1.3–2.3 mm, although members of the group rubicunda from the eastern Meditteranean are usuay larger), with a homogeneous body shape (Fig. 1), although some species have elongated body and appendages (e.g., Fig. 1C). The prosoma is brown or yellow, usually darker in the anterior part. The abdomen shows no color patterns, its cuticle is hardly pigmented, so that grey or brownish midgut is visible. The shape of the chelicerae and the arrangement of the cheliceral teeth are uniform and characteristic for the majority of species of the genus (see the fageli type below).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039CE028E872FFC0FF12FD83FE46629E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

M. Řezáč, coll. Crop Research Institute, Prague.</p> <p>Etymology. Named after the Portuguese arachnologist Sergio Henriques, our friend who helped us to collect material for this study.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Harpactea henriquesi differs from the majority of Portuguese Harpactea species by the shape of copulatory organs, in particular by slender tegulum and thin embolus and conductor of approximately the same length (Fig. 4C). Males are also characteristic by markedly slender and elongated abdomen and elongated prosoma (Fig. 1C). It resembles H. gaditana and H. fageli in that the first leg is longer than the fourth. Concerning bulbus shape, it is most similar to H. gaditana, from which it differs by base of embolus covered by the base of conductor (in H. gaditana it is not covered). Embolus is uniformly curved (Fig. 4C, in H. gaditana the distal part of embolus is less curved than the basal one). Concerning size and body proportions H. henriquesi sp. nov. is more similar to H. sciakyi Pesarini, 1988 from Spain, from which it differs by uniformly curved embolus (in H. sciakyi it is strongly bent in the middle), straight conductor with only slightly dilated apex (in H. sciakyi conductor is bent at base, its apex is strongly and suddenly spatulated), and femora I with a single, relatively weak subapical prolateral spine (in H. sciakyi femora I with a pair of strong prolateral spines).</p> <p>The vulva is similar to that of H. fageli, but it is relatively smaller and less sclerotised, the anterior part is terminated by a globule, it does not carry any crest for attaching muscles. Also the members of Harpactea hombergii group possess similar vulva morphology. In the only representative of this group in Portugal, Harpactea hombergii, the lateral parts of the anterior arc are bent like in anchor (Fig. 6B).</p> <p>Description. Male (holotype). Carapace olive brown, matting, in comparison with other Harpactea species elongated (Fig. 1C). Sternum ferruginous, matting. Chelicerae brown. Legs brown-yellow, anterior legs and pedipalps darker. Measurements and spination are shown in Table 1. Relative leg length: I&gt;IV&gt;II&gt;III. Cymbium with only slightly elongated distal part (Fig. 3C, like in H. gaditana). Tegulum thin, much longer than wide (Fig. 4C). Conductor straight, directing distally. Embolus dark, parallel to conductor, but regularly bent, of the same length as conductor, directing distally. Opisthosoma cylindrical, markedly elongated and slender (Fig. 1C).</p> <p>Female. In females the carapace is less elongated (especially the posterior part) than in males: the ratio length / maximum width of carapace in females is 1.36–1.40, in males 1.44–1.50. Opisthosoma less elongated than in males. The vulva is of the type fageli (see the chapter Diagnostic characters) (Fig. 6B).</p> <p>Variability. Male carapace length 1.17–2.07 mm (1.56±0.23 (mean± SD), N=39), female carapace length 1.18– 1.79 mm (1.50±0.16, N=32).</p> <p>Ecology. Found in leaf litter in sparse Quercus forests.</p> <p>Distribution. The species was found in several sites in central-western Portugal.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039CE028E87BFFCEFF12FB49FB8265B4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The name Harpactea hombergi has been erroneously used for this species (Řezáč et al. 2008a). Walckenaer (1830) first used the name D. hombergii for the Harpactea species. His wrong concept was adopted by the latter authors (see the above list of misidentifications). The species so far called Harpactea hombergii was first described as Dysdera Latreillii by Blackwall (1832). However, resurrecting a name that has not been used as valid for over 150 years would severely threaten nomenclatoric stability. Therefore, we propose to keep using the name hombergii for this species.</p> <p>Harpactea hombergii is usually incorrectly written with a single “i” (for example, World Spider Catalog 2021). It was named after Homberg, latinized in Hombergius; the genitive of Hombergi-us is then Hombergi-i. Therefore, the name “hombergii” does not fit into the cases of incorrect names that must be changed. Thus, the original spelling of the specific name should be maintained according to ICZN, articles 31–33.</p> <p>Material. Type material was not examined.</p> <p>New material. <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=-8.312&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=41.886" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long -8.312/lat 41.886)">Alcos de Valdevez</a>, Mezio, 41.886, -8.312, inside house, 2 ♁♁, 14 June 2005, leg. S. Henriques, coll. Crop Research Institute, Prague.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Harpactea hombergii can be easily distinguished from other Portuguese Harpactea by dark brown carapace, especially in males elongated body, slightly annulated legs, remarkably shortened tarsus of male pedipalps, and by the shape of copulatory organs.</p> <p>Ecology. During the day this nocturnal species can be found in leaf litter, under stones and branches lying on the ground or under bark of trees. In the Iberian Peninsula it lives in humid forests, adults are usually found in May. In central Europe it usually lives in sparse dry forests on rocks, especially with predominating Quercus spp., less often Fagus sylvatica or Pinus spp.; it matures at the end of summer.</p> <p>Distribution. Harpactea species with the largest area of distribution comprising most of the western, central and southern Europe. It is absent in its southernmost (southern parts of Iberian, Appenine and Balkan peninsulas), northern (Scandinavia, Baltic countries, Russia) and eastern parts (Bielorussia, Ukraine). In Spain (Ferrandez &amp; Ferrandez 1990: 49, fig. 4) and Portugal (Fig. 9) it lives only in the northern parts, with very few southern records that probably are misidentified (see Branco et al. 2019b).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039CE028E87CFFCFFF12FBBAFCCA6684	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Named after the Czechoslovak arachnologist Stanislav Korenko, our friend who helped us to collect material for this study.</p> <p>Diagnosis. It differs from most Iberian Harpactea species by almost straight dorsal side of cymbium (Fig. 3H, like in H. magnibulbi), and relatively short embolus (approximately of the same length as conductor, Fig. 4H). It resembles H. magnibulbi; males differ by the distance between the anterior cheliceral teeth, that is 1.5× longer than the distance between the teeth in the posterior row (Fig. 2H, in H. magnibulbi the distance between the dorsal teeth is the same as the distance between the ventral teeth, Fig. 2G); the position of the dorsal distal tooth that is between the ventral teeth (in H. magnibulbi it is next to the posterior basal tooth), and by the shape of embolus, which is thinner (Fig. 4H), S-shaped on its distal end; females differ by anterior arc with lobes bent backwards on its prolateral edges and absence of posterior diverticle rudiment (Fig. 8B).</p> <p>Description. Male (holotype). Carapace yellow, matting (Fig. 1H). Sternum yellow, matting, with long hair on the edges. Chelicerae yellow brown. Legs yellow brown, pedipalps ferruginous. Measurements and spination are shown in the Table 1. Relative leg length: IV&gt;I&gt;II&gt;III. Cymbium with very elongated distal part (Fig. 3H), and very concave prolateral side. Tegulum large, longer than wide (Fig. 4H). Conductor regularly bent, flattened, tapering. Embolus dark, parallel to conductor but more bent, only slightly longer than conductor, flattened, its end is S-shaped. Opisthosoma cylindrical, whitish.</p> <p>Female. All somatic characters as described for the male. Vulva is of the type algarvensis (see Materials and Methods) (Fig. 8B).</p> <p>Variability. Carapace length 1.5–2.2 mm (both sexes) (N=33).</p> <p>Ecology. It lives in leaf litter in shaded Quercus coccifera forests. Females lay eggs in early spring. The presence of independent juveniles together with mothers with egg sacs suggests a possible two-year life cycle.</p> <p>Distribution. Forests around the south Portuguese city of Carrapateira.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039CE028E87DFFCFFF12FEEAFC346328	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Crop Research Institute, Prague.</p> <p>Etymology. Named after the Czechoslovak arachnologist Stano Pekár, our friend who helped us to collect material for this study.</p> <p>Diagnosis. The smallest and more gracile Portuguese Harpactea species. It resembles H. gaditana, H. fageli and H. henriquesi sp. nov. by slightly elongated unmodified cymbium (Fig. 3D). It can be distinguished from the former species by spherical tegulum, no conductor and long regularly curved embolus, transversal in respect to tegulum (Fig. 4D). The reduced (small, only slightly sclerotised and without spermathecae) vulva resembles H. algarvensis, H. tavirensis and H. crespoi sp. nov. but it can be distinguished from these species by narrow posterior transversal bar bearing two furrows (Fig. 6C). It co-occurs with H. minoccii, from which it differs by smaller and lighter body.</p> <p>Description. Male (holotype). Carapace yellow-orange, head region darker, matting (Fig. 1D). Sternum yellow, matting. Chelicerae brown. Legs yellow, femora I and pedipalps darker. For measurements and leg spination see the Table 1. Relative leg length: IV&gt;I&gt;II&gt;III. Cymbium with only slightly elongated distal part (Fig. 3D). Tegulum large, longer than wide (Fig. 4D). Conductor atrophied. Embolus dark, long, regularly bent, directing to the side. Opisthosoma cylindrical, whitish.</p> <p>Female. All somatic characters as described for the male. The vulva is of the type pekari (see the Material and Methods). It is very reduced and does not possess any posterior diverticle (Fig. 6C).</p> <p>Variability. Male carapace length 1.33–1.84 mm (1.58±0.14, N=21), female carapace length 1.51–1.60 mm (1.54±0.04, N=4).</p> <p>Ecology. Adults are found in early spring in leaf litter and under stones on humid northern slopes with Quercus ilex and Juniperus turbinata bush.</p> <p>Distribution. Known only from the valley of the river Guadiana near Mertola in southern Portugal.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039CE028E863FFD6FF12FA03FAF16441	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Type material was not examined.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Harpactea proxima is very similar to H. minoccii. According to Ferrández (1990) H. minoccii differs from H. proxima by absence of femoral spines. However, all our H. minoccii specimens possess femoral spines. Their absence is very unusual in the genus Harpactea in general, which lead us to conclude that the holotype of H. minoccii is just an individual with aberrant spination. Further, H. proxima possesses conductor (not embolus as stated in Ferrández (1990)) that is uniformly curved (in H. minoccii it is sinuous— Fig. 4E). Because we found only Harpactea with bulbus morphology of H. minoccii in the region from where H. proxima was described, we can not exclude the possibility that these two morphotypes are in fact the same species.</p> <p>Ecology. So far unknown (cf. Ferrández 1990).</p> <p>Distribution. It is recorded from southern Portugal (Ferrandez 1990: 37, fig. 3; Machado &amp; Ferrandez 1991: 58, fig. 8).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039CE028E864FFD6FF12FD2EFEDE62A3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

National Natural History Museum.</p> <p>Diagnosis. It can be distinguishged from any other Iberian Harpactea by cymbium with concave retrolateral side, unlike retrolateral side of cymbium being either convex or straight, in other species (only the prolateral side is concave in some species), and concave hairless dorso-apical side. It possesses the cheliceral type minoccii (see the Materials and Methods) characterised by only three cheliceral teeth. In contrast to other two representatives of this cheliceral type, H. minoccii and H. subiasi, it has slightly obtuse posterior distal tooth (in two mentioned species it is pointed) and thicker basal cheliceral segment (Fig. 2M). Vulva is similar to that of H. algarvensis, but it can be distinguished by sclerotization only present at the median rod of the anterior arc (Fig. 8E). A couple of bands of white delicate tissue run from the epigastric furrow towards the ovary and turn dorsally in the middle of the abdomen (Fig. 8E —wt, when the spider is in certain level of saturation, it can be observed by transparency, without dissecting). It co-occurs with H. algarvensis, from which it can be distinguished by smaller size (H. algarvensis 2.2 mm, H. tavirensis 1.4–2.0 mm), darker coloration and slightly annulated legs.</p> <p>Description. Male. Carapace red-brown, matting (Fig. 1M). Sternum brown-yellow, matting. Chelicerae red brown. Legs yellow-brown, anterior legs and pedipalps are darker. For measurements and leg spination see the Table 1. Relative leg length: IV&gt;I&gt;II&gt;III. Cymbium slightly elongated (Fig. 3M), distally widened, with concave retrolateral side. Tegulum wider than long (Fig. 5E). Conductor relatively short, slightly S-shaped. Embolus dark, extremely long, its base directs to the opposite side than the conductor but then it is bent in 180° angle, so its tip directs to the same side as conductor. Opisthosoma cylindrical, whitish.</p> <p>Female. All somatic characters as described for the male. The vulva is of the type algarvensis (Fig. 8E). The vulva is very small and weakly sclerotised, anterior arc, transversal bar and median rod are only tiny rudiments. Rudiment of posterior diverticle is tiny circular spot. Behind the epigastric furrow there is a paired mass of whitish tissue.</p> <p>Variability. Male carapace length 1.51–2.00 mm (1.77±0.14, N=9), female carapace length 1.38–2.00 mm (1.65±0.13, N=22). The twisting of embolus is variable. Moreover, its appearance depends on the angle of view.</p> <p>Ecology. The adults occur in early spring in leaf litter of Quercus suber and Erica forests on eastern slopes. Females lay 16– 21 eggs (N=2).</p> <p>Distribution. So far known only from mountains in Algarve, southern Portugal.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039CE028E865FFD7FF12FD76FB9B618C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
