ALOPECOSA STRIATIPES (KOCH, 1837)

Czech Republic, Dunajovické kopce, grass steppe, 12 August 2011, Ptáčov, grass steppe, 9 October 2014, lgt. P.J., P.D., number of copulations = 3

After being placed in the arena, all three males began to court immediately by P_CR and approached females with rapid jerky steps (B_JS). Their front legs (unlike A. mariae ) were raised, pointing slightly upwards, and performed L_Q. The type of catalepsy was C_H, and courtship took 1.33, 15.63 and 8.06 min, respectively. Copulations lasted for 2.60, 3.86 and 0.38 min and were accompanied by two, four and three palpal insertions, with one to three haematodochal expansions each. The sum of all expansions was four, five and seven. During copulation, males quivered their opisthosomata (O_Q).
