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.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/450287D1E72AFF8AD32EC412BB4CFCFC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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.</p> <p>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.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/450287D1E72AFF83D30EC682BAD0FE5D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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 &amp; 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.

Claw pectinate.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>SEMINAL RECEPTACLES (Fig. 9F). Ovipositor with 22 segments (CHW 467), seminal receptacles located in segments 6 and 7; tube-shaped pocket, proximally with a slender lateral pocket.</p> <p>Distribution and ecology</p> <p>A species endemic to the eastern Pyrenees (Fig. 21). The Montseny, a massiv between Barcelona and Girona provinces where Rambla &amp; 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 (21M, 6F) 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.</p> <p>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.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/450287D1E737FF90D324C412BB6AFBEB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
