Heft 64
A new species of trapdoor spider found in southern Andalusia, Spain, Nemesia amicitia spec. nov., is described. This species builds a branched burrow with a characteristic wafer-type trapdoor over a curb around the entrance. In the same geographic area, two populations of N. uncinata Bacelar, 1933 have been found. New data about the morphological variability of this species and the structure of its burrow are provided.
