Quizitaly n. 2

[Raffaele Falato]

Another quiz for anyone who likes to try to identify spiders.

This species is not present in Germany, in Switzerland yes.

I believe it is a sub-adult specimen, measuring 7 mm, and I have find this April males and females of this size pictured in this way.

You will not find photos of it neither on the wiki nor on UniBe.

I was not expecting also a similar pattern.

Beware of the pitfall.

Good game everyone.

Hello Raf,

I need to clarify, whether The "pitfall" is the double negation of not...neither...nor resulting in a positive statement?
If that was just an accident, then I won´t stand a chance. Otherwise I will immediately dive in the pool of possiblities 

Cheers
Jutta

Hello Jutta.
Double negation is negation, the trap isn't here but I can't say more, the quiz would become easy.
And then there is an important clue that I have already given above.

Dann ist das wieder eine Alopecosa? When you solved the species, can you please tell us how to ID?

lg,
Jonathan

[Jutta Asamoah]

Aber es gibt ja keine Alopecosa, die alle drei Kriterien erfüllt, also präsent in Italien und in der Schweiz, nicht präsent in Deutschland und ohne Foto in Wiki und unibe.ch.

Verzweifel

Hallo Jonathan,
Bitte schreiben Sie Ihre Vermutung.

@Jutta
Trap. You don't understand, dear.
The photos are there, but they show a different pattern.

[Jonathan Neumann]

my next guess is Arctosa?

[Raffaele Falato]

Hey Jon,
why did you change genus? 

The spider is identified not by the opisthosome (unless someone has already seen it in this dress of his) but by the written suggestions and the circumstance that I am not a great connoisseur of spiders, and yet ...
