Paratype. Loule, Ameixial, 37.357, -7.965, litter under Quercus suber , 1 ♁, 30 March 2013, leg. M. Řezáč, coll. Crop Research Institute, Prague GoogleMaps .

Etymology. Named after the Czech arachnologist Tomáš Krejčí, our friend who helped us to discover this species.

Diagnosis. It resembles H.algarvensis in tegulum longer than wide, and conductor and embolus of approximately the same length ( Fig. 5C View FIGURE 5 ), but it can be distinguished from the last species by the longer conductor and embolus.

Description. Male (holotype). Carapace yellow brown, matting ( Fig. 1K View FIGURE 1 ). Sternum yellow, matting. Chelicerae brown. Legs pale yellow, pedipalps brown. For measurements and leg spination see the Table 1 View TABLE 1 . Relative leg length: IV>I>II>III. Cymbium tapering, with elongated distal part ( Fig. 3K View FIGURE 3 , like in H. algarvensis ). Tegulum large, longer than wide ( Fig. 5C View FIGURE 5 ). Conductor long, thin, S-shaped, pointed, directing distally. Embolus dark, very long, thin, flattened, its basal part directs distally, then it is bent proximally and distally, so its tip directs distally again. Opisthosoma cylindrical, whitish.

Female unknown.

Ecology. It was found in early spring in humid leaf litter under Quercus suber on the bottom of the valley.

Distribution. So far known only from Ameixial in the mountain range in southern Portugal.
