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 Distribution Adults can be found from April to October. The species has been reported from a variety of habitats: forests, bogs and marshland, heaths, quarries, fields. It lives under stones or plant parts (tree roots, moss pads etc.); it is not synanthropic and is rarely (if at all) found inside buildings.
