450287D1E72AFF8AD32EC412BB4CFCFC.taxon	discussion	Remarks We propose Fagea bolivari Dresco, 1949 as a junior synonym of Prosalpia martini Simon, 1878. Of the characters mentioned in the original description by Simon, the dorsal black patch on abdominal tergites 2 – 4 is distinctive, as it never occurs in any other species of Dicranopalpus. Also, the small femoral pedipalpal apophysis of the female holotype (Dresco 1949: 340, fig. 7) is consistent with that of female Prosalpia martini. Thus, the name Dicranopalpus martini (Simon, 1878) is valid for this taxon. A detailed redescription of D. martini and the related species Dicranopalpus pulchellus is in preparation.	en	Wijnhoven, Hay, Martens, Jochen, Prieto, Carlos E.

450287D1E72AFF83D30EC682BAD0FE5D.taxon	distribution	Distribution and ecology Dicranopalpus insignipalpis is endemic to Corsica, France (Fig. 10). It is a common mountainous species. According to recent data (JM), its elevational distribution ranges from 300 to 1500 m (13 records), with the majority between 800 m and 1300 m. The upper range may be higher so long running water and adjoining forest cover are present. Generally, D. insignipalpis is a forest-dwelling species, confined to forest types offering a minimum of the required air humidity. Consequently, highest population density is found in its upper areas with more abundant precipitation, locally occurring in considerable numbers on the banks along mountain streams and rivers, under stones, pebbles and dead wood, often close to the waterline. D. insignipalpis lives at ground level; it was never found on rock faces or tree trunks. Phenology: according to the known records from June to October, adults and juveniles were collected together. Thus, D. insignipalpis assumingly is eurychronous. The maturity period also cannot be defined by altitude. In June and July adults and juveniles were collected syntopically at altitudes of 500 – 1100 m, while in June and August, only adults were present in localities at altitudes of over 1300 m.	en	Wijnhoven, Hay, Martens, Jochen, Prieto, Carlos E.

450287D1E723FF9CD0C9C72CBF09FBEB.taxon	distribution	Distribution and ecology The locality of the redescribed specimens (Camarmeña, Asturias) is about 10 km from the type locality of D. cantabricus (Puertos de Áliva, Cantabria), in the Picos de Europa National Park (Fig. 13). Roewer (1953) erroneously located his D. martini records of Monte de los Sagredales (municipality of Caso, Asturias) in the Sierra de Guadarrama. Records given by Merino & Anadón (2008) from the Reserva Natural Integral de Muniellos (municipality of Cangas de Narcea) are in the mountainous Asturias, and these are likely D. cantabricus. We tentatively ascribe the record of Luque (1992) from a coastal Cantabrian site (Ría de Tina Menor, municipality of Val de San Vicente) to this taxon. In summary, D. cantabricus is a Spanish endemite, probably restricted to the Cantabrian Mountains. Phenology unknown.	en	Wijnhoven, Hay, Martens, Jochen, Prieto, Carlos E.

450287D1E73CFF98D351C193BF34F847.taxon	distribution	Distribution and ecology Dicranopalpus gallaecicus sp. nov. is a Spanish endemic species, its distribution probably being restricted to the Galician region (Fig. 13). The type locality (Fig. 17 A) is a wooded slope consisting of a Pinus L. and Eucalyptus L’Hér. tree plantation, undergrowth mainly with Common gorse (Ulex europaeus L.). Individuals were present in considerable numbers, and could easily be collected especially on and among shed strips of Eucalyptus bark, hanging from the trees or laying on the forest floor. In two cases, individuals were found in resting position on a shaded rock face. Records based on photos (from https: // www. biodiversidadvirtual. org / insectarium /; record number in parentheses) included (Fig. 13): 1 (sub) adult ♀, Pontevedra, Vigo, 21 Apr. 2017 (969655); 1 juv. ♀, Parque forestal do Vixiador, 8 Dec. 2018 (1194231); 1 juv., Parque forestal do Vixiador, 10 Feb. 2019 (1075602); 1 (sub) adult ♀, Pontevedra, Cercedo, 18 Mar. 2017 (985496); 1 ♀, Lugo, Villalba, 11 Jun. 2014 (593557); 1 juv. ♀, Lugo, Villalba, 19 Dec. 2014 (660313); 1 ♂, Lugo, Villalba, 1 Apr. 2015 (679111); 1 ♂, Lugo, Villalba, 17 Apr. 2016 (783897); 1 juv. ♀, Lugo, Villalba, 17 Feb. 2019 (1075059). A species of lower altitudes, with recorded altitudes between 119 and 428 m a. s. l. Phenology: juveniles have been found in December and February, subadults in March and April, adults from April to October, suggesting that eggs hatch in autumn, juveniles overwinter and adults appear in spring.	en	Wijnhoven, Hay, Martens, Jochen, Prieto, Carlos E.

Trochanters pale yellowish brown; femora brown with lighter distal tips, indistinct rows of small denticles and sensory setae; patellae dark brown, densely covered with small trichomes; tibiae dark brown with light tips, smooth, without spines or denticles, covered with trichomes and small sensilla chaetica; metatarsi and tarsi dark brown to black. Tibia II with 4 pseudo-articulations; metatarsi I – IV with 2, 5, 3 and 4 pseudo-articulations, respectively. Numerous bipterate setae on prolateral sides of metatarsi III and IV and in decreasing numbers on proximal tarsomeres 1 – 16 of leg III and 1 – 10 of leg IV. PENIS (Fig. 23). Long and slender; length 1.73 (CJM 1746). Base with sclerotized extensions (occasionally broken off during preparation). Truncus widest in basal 1 / 5, narrowest near distal 4 / 5 (Fig. 23 C – D), slightly widening to glans (Fig. 23 A – B). Intrinsic penial muscle in about basal 2 / 5 of truncus, tendon robust. Glans longer than wide, sclerotized dorsally, with canaliculi (Fig. 23 K – N); dorsal cavity in distal half of glans; glans laterally with one pair of minute sensory setae (Fig. 23 H). Horns slender. Stylus shorter than glans. Female LENGTH. 4.9, width of prosoma 2.5, BLI 1.8. DORSUM (Fig. 18 B). Prosoma as in male, saddle consisting of dark brown paramedian patches, narrowing on opisthosomal tergites I – IV with median area light brown. Opisthosomal tergites with paramedian pairs of white spots, lateral areas mottled with light and dark spots and patches, and transverse rows of small dark spots. EYE TUBERCLE. Brown with silvery sheen, lighter around eyes; canaliculated, with about ten minute black setae. VENTER AND COXAE. Pale yellowish with scattered black setae. PEDIPALPS (Fig. 22 D – E). Pale yellowish, basal half of femur distally of apophysis, dorsal side of patella, distal patellar apophysis, and median and distal tibia region somewhat darker; femoral apophysis as long as wide; patellar apophysis robust, reaching tibial apophysis; tibia mediodistally with apophysis as long as wide. Claw pectinate. LEGS. Leg lengths I – IV (in parentheses femur lengths): 24 (4.6); 41 (8.3); 26 (4.8); 36 (6.8) (CHW 467). Legs brown, joints light, patella dark brown, dark brown bands distally on femur and tibia. Femora lack trichomes. Tibia II with five pseudo-articulations; metatarsi of legs I – IV with 3, 5, 3 and 4 pseudoarticulations, respectively. SEMINAL RECEPTACLES (Fig. 9 F). Ovipositor with 22 segments (CHW 467), seminal receptacles located in segments 6 and 7; tube-shaped pocket, proximally with a slender lateral pocket.	en	Wijnhoven, Hay, Martens, Jochen, Prieto, Carlos E.

450287D1E737FF90D324C412BB6AFBEB.taxon	distribution	Distribution and ecology A species endemic to the eastern Pyrenees (Fig. 21). The Montseny, a massiv between Barcelona and Girona provinces where Rambla & Perera (1995) recorded the species as D. martini, seems to be an isolated southern record. Distribution data suggest that D. pyrenaeus and D. catariegensis ranges could meet in the northwestern part of Lleida province. A sample of D. catariegensis sp. nov. from the Hautes- Pyrénées (CHW 467) is within the distribution range of D. pyrenaeus. Most records are from altitudes 1200 – 1400 m a. s. l.; a high locality is from Espot at 2141 m a. s. l. We found adult specimens mostly on tree trunks, under loose stones and on rock faces. The sex ratio in favour of males (21 M, 6 F) in our samples suggests that females mostly select daytime shelters at ground level, while males rest higher up, and are thus easier to find. Juveniles live at ground level. Phenology: insufficiently known, adults from June to end of August; juveniles from July to October, suggesting that eggs hatch in summer and autumn, juveniles overwinter and adults appear in spring.	en	Wijnhoven, Hay, Martens, Jochen, Prieto, Carlos E.
