Harpactes hombergi auct. Note: Aranea hombergii as described by Scopoli (1763) cannot be identical with the present species. Aranea hombergii is described with the following diagnosis: "Thorax niger, nitens, punctatus. Abdomen ellipticum, fusco-ferrugineum: foveolarum pari uno. Pedes nitidi fulvi" ("Thorax black, shining, punctate. Abdomen elliptical, grey-rust-colored: with a single pair of pits. Legs shining yellow"). It is unclear why this name has been applied to the present species in the first place, because not a single character of it applies to any European species of Harpactea, let alone Harpactea latreillii. I fully agree with Rezac et al. (2008) who regard Aranea hombergii as a nomen dubium and a likely senior synonym of Dysdera ninnii. I also agree that for the species formerly called Harpactea hombergii (or wrongly "hombergi") the species name latreillii is the valid name. Identification Distribution Biology |
