Description of previously overlooked specimens of Nemesia rastellata (Araneae, Mygalomorphae: Nemesiidae) from the type locality, with notes on functional aspects of male morphology
Abstract
Previously overlooked material of Nemesia rastellata Wunderlich, 2011, collected at the type locality and present in the collection of the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt am Main, is here described. This description provides important new information for
taxonomical recognition of the species and the first observations on intraspecific variations in size and shape in N. rastellata. Additionally,
aspects of male morphology in Nemesia trapdoor spiders are discussed from a functional perspective.
