(Fig. 12)

M a t e r i a l: Giant Mts. , Úpa peat bog and its surroundings, 50°44'20"N, 15°42'28"E, 1430 m a.s.l., pitfall traps, 3 males, 4–26 Jul 2010, 24 Jul–13 Aug 2012, 1–22 Sep 2012; a subalpine mire composed of a mosaic of habitats, mainly raised parts of a bog and dwarf mountain pine; Nardus stricta grasslands surrounding the mire complex GoogleMaps .

Distribution: It is one of the species with a typical disjunctive, boreo-mountainous distribution ( Růžička 2011). It has been recorded many times in the subalpine level of the Giant Mountains, however only on the Czech side of the border ( Růžička & Vaněk 1997, Kůrka & Szymkowiak 2007, Materna et al. 2010, Růžička et al. 2012), hence it was not put on the national list of Polish spiders.

Remarks: Three males were recorded in the biggest subalpine mire on the plateau of the Giant Mountains and in the surrounding grasslands. Both of these habitats lay on the two sides of the national border, and the species was already recorded in these habitats by the above mentioned authors.
