Tegenaria campestris Zehnfleckige Winkelspinne |
| Subspecies Original description Synonyms Aranea decemguttata Goeze (in Lister in libro converso ab Martini et Goeze), 1778 (Truly binominal name? Nomen oblitum?) Aranea campestris C. L. Koch, 1834 Tegenaria campestris (C.
L. Koch, 1834)
Philoica campestris (C.
L. Koch, 1834)
Malthonica campestris (C.
L. Koch, 1834)
Note: this
species is placed in Malthonica by most authors.
However, the analysis by Bolzern
et al. 2010 clearly shows that Malthonica
and Tegenaria are not monophyletic if both are
recognized as separate taxa. I therefore combine
both genera under the older name of Tegenaria. For more information
on this issue see my comments under Tegenaria ferruginea.Identification A medium sized species; females between 6-7 mm, males about 5-6 mm. Distribution Biology Not synanthropic; lives under stones and tree roots and prefers warm and dry habitats with lower or sparse vegetation. Adults can be found from May to September.
