Harpactea tenuiemboli Deltshev, 2011: 223 , figs 6–8, 12–14 (♂).

Comment. The structures originally described by Deltshev (2011) as the accessory apophysis of the bulb and the lamellar part of the conductor are here referred to as the paramedian apophysis (PA) and the median apophysis (MA), respectively ( Fig. 2G ).

Distribution. Previously known only from the type locality in SW Serbia (Deltshev 2011). The new record from Kosovo extends the range of the species approximately 110 km southeastwards.
