Theridiidae Sundevall 1833

Description

Fam. THERIDIIDAE

Enoplognatha ovata (Clerck, 1757)

Theridion redimitum: Shulov & Amitai 1965: 19, f. 37.

Notes. The record looks doubtful: authors consider this species widespread in Israel; however, Levy (1998) did not mention E. ovata in his revisional work. In addition, the species was not observed in the studied material.

Rhomphaea longicaudata (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872)

Rhomphaea longicaudata: Shulov & Amitai 1965: 11, f. 18.

Note. Levy (1985a) did not consider this species to occur inside the country.

Theridion petraeum L. Koch, 1872

Theridion petraeum: Shulov & Amitai 1965: 19, f. 39, 40.

Note. Reported only by Shulov and Amitai (1965) and seems based on misidentification.
