Diagnosis. Species of middle size (CW> 0.60 mm), lacking dorsal spines of Fe I–II. It can be distinguished from P. altaica by AP of the male palp short and curved upwards ( Fig. 36B View FIGURE 36 ), and thick appendices of the vulva, which turn closely around main sacks and are oriented opposite to one another, towards the median plain ( Figs. 36D–F View FIGURE 36 ).

Description. ♀ (from Lanžhot, Czechia, 19 May 1997). Carapace brown, 0.67 mm wide, eyes normal, PME– PME = 0.8 ( Fig. 36A View FIGURE 36 ). Abdomen grey. Fe without dorsal spines, Fe I with one prolateral spine. Ti I with one prolateral spine, Ti I–II with one retrolateral spine. Tm Mt I = 0.33, Mt I/CW = 0.90.

Main sacks and appendices, which are almost in contact, can be seen on the epigynum ( Fig. 36C View FIGURE 36 ). Very compact vulva. Spermathecae start at the midway of the ascending part of the copulatory ducts. Main sacks are oriented oblique upwards. Thick appendices turn closely around main sacks and are oriented opposite to one another, towards the median plain ( Figs. 36D–F View FIGURE 36 ).

Ƌ (together with female). Embolus short, AP short and curved upwards ( Fig. 36B View FIGURE 36 ).

Variation. Ƌ ♀. Carapace 0.60–0.69 mm wide. Tm Mt I = 0.31–0.36, Mt I/CW = 0.81–0.93 (n = 21).

Ecology. In Czechia, the species has been recorded among leaf litter in floodplain forests and in peat bogs ( Buchar & Růžička 2002). In Great Britain, it is typically an upland species occurring beneath rocks on open mountains ( Harvey et al. 2002).

Global distribution. Eurasia after Helsdingen (2017), Mikhailov (2013), this article, Ono et al. (2009) and Namkung et al. (2009). See Fig. 37 View FIGURE 37 .
