Type material. Holotype: male (NHMC, FC 12144), Dadia National Park, pine forest, site 7, 22.05- 30.06.2011, leg. K. Zografou. Paratypes: Site 4 (a: 8 ♂). Other material examined: Site 7 (a: 5 ♂), Site 8 (a: 1 ♂), Site 9 (a: 7 ♂, b: 1 ♂), Site 11 (b: 1 ♂).

Etymology. The name is a patronym in honour of Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Nentwig (Switzerland) for his various contributions to the field of arachnology. Noun in genitive case.

Diagnosis. Harpactea wolfgangi sp. n. is closely related to Harpactea konradi Lazarov, 2009 in having bifurcated embolus, but can be distinguished by the larger size (body and leg length) and by the sinuous proximal additional apophisys of the embolus (Figs. 47–52).
