Types
Paratypes. Bulgaria: Rila Mountains , Zavrachitsa, 1 ♂, 1 ♀ ( NHMW), 2.viii.1993, Deltshev .
Other material examined
Bulgaria (1 ♀) .
Diagnosis
Several details and measurements were provided by Deltshev (1993). All examined characters mentioned for Teg. campestris were identical to this species except for slight differences in genital morphology.
Distribution
Reported from Bulgaria (Rila Mountains).
Discussion
Deltshev (1993: 170, 171, 2008b) mentioned that Teg. bozhkovi, Teg. montana , and Teg. rilaensis are closely related to Teg. campestris . To separate them he used (1) the size of the palp organ, the smallest being that of Teg. montana ; (2) the shape of the ‘tegular apophysis’ (conductor); (3) the shape of the epigyne and vulva. His concept is difficult to apply to the material at hand and the identification of the female from the Rila Monastery is, therefore, tentative. In our molecular analyses, the genetic distance between Teg. campestris and Teg. rilaensis was large and the species were clearly separated. Additional material and analyses are necessary to clarify this problem.
