Nuctenea umbratica
Spaltenkreuzspinne



Male specimen. Specimen photographed in Göttingen (Niedersachsen, Germany) on July 27, 2007.



Subspecies

Nuctenea umbratica nigricans (Franganillo, 1909) has been described as a separate subspecies. However, Breitling et al. 2016 have re-assessed this taxon and conclude that it cannot refer to Nuctenea umbratica and they consider it as a nomen dubium. Therefore, I do not accept it as a subspecies and I also do not list it as a synonym. I do not recognize subspecies of Nuctenea umbratica.
