Agroeca parva Bosmans, 2011

(Figs. 1-5)

A. p.; Bosmans, 2011: 19, f. 11-14 (original description of male & female).

Material examined Specimen collected at night in active searching of the ground in olive gardens; 1 female Muğla Province, Milas District, Kıyıkışlacık Village (37°16'38.80"N; 27°33'47.97"E), 10.04.2011, leg. M. Elverici | Specimen acquired from pitfall trap survey between 0 1.10.2010 - 20.11. 2010 in olive gardens; 1 male same locality, leg. M. Elverici .

General distribution: Greece (Platnick, 2012)

Comments: The leg spination pattern of paired ventral spines on the anterior legs (three on the metatarsus, two on the tibia) is diagnostic for the genus Agroeca, which is already represented by two species in Turkey: A. inopina O. P.- Cambridge, 1886 and A. proxima (O. P.-Cambridge, 1871). These two species can be readily identified by the morphology of male tibial apophysis. A. parva has a relatively longer tibial apophysis compared to the aforementioned species, with a truncate tip. It also has a smaller body size. As the type locality of A. parva is Lesbos Island (Greece), and considering the broad distribution of the genus in the region, it is not particularly surprising to find this species on the Aegean coastline of Turkey.
