Description

TEGENARIA MONTANA DELTSHEV, 1993 STAT. REV.

Tegenaria montana Deltshev, 1993: 168–171, figs 9– 13.

Malthonica montana: Guseinov et al., 2005: 164.

Types

Paratypes. Bulgaria: Pirin Mountains, Vasilachliezera, 1 ♂, 1 ♀ (NHMW), 25.vii.1985, Deltshev.

Diagnosis

Several details and measurements were provided by Deltshev (1993). All examined characters mentioned for Teg. campestris were identical to this species except for slight differences in the genital morphology.

Distribution

Reported from Bulgaria (Pirin Mountains) (Deltshev, 1993).

Discussion

Tegenaria montana belongs, together with Teg. bozhkovi, Teg. campestris, and Teg. rilaensis, to a ‘super species’ described by Deltshev (2008b). Based on the material available for examination, we cannot judge the relationships within this species complex.
