ALOPECOSA SCHMIDTI (HAHN, 1835)

Czech Republic, Svatý Kopeček , 13 March 2014, lgt. P.J., Military training ground Bzenec NR, 17 October 2013, lgt. P.J., number of copulations = 2

Males began to court 1.03 and 0.66 min after introduction into the arena. Palpal movement (P_CI) was intensive and escalated in B_JS and L_Q. Females responded offensively, and in both cases, a wrestle occurred before the females became cataleptic (C_H). Courtship lasted for 0.50 and 1.38 min, respectively. Copulations took 0.91 and 1.25 min, and comprised two and three palpal insertions (with nine and five haematodochal expansions in the first pair and with three, ten and 15 in the second pair). The males quivered their opisthosomata intensively (O_Q).
