Material examined (28 specimens). Types of H. simoni : ISRAEL: Jerusalem, Jericho , holotype ♁, paratypes: 8♀, 6 ♁, 1 subad. ♁, 9 subad.♀ ( HDO, Bottle 400). Additional material: LEBANON: 1♁, 1893, E. Festa coll., P. Pavesi det. ( MIZST Ar. 336) ; 1♁, 1♀ “ H. Simonii, Palästina, leg. 13.09.1931, Wiehle det.” ( SMF 19407/2)” .

Diagnosis. Hersiliola simoni can be recognized by the position of the embolic base (ca. 10:30 hrs), a relatively short embolus forming only one coil, and the shape of epigyne. From H. sternbergsi sp. n., it differs by a flatter palp with a smaller number of loops, a different position of the embolic base, and a different tegular apophysis.

Description. Redescribed in detail by Levy (2003).

Comments. Figures of H. simoni in Rheims and Brescovit (2004) and Rheims et al. (2004) undoubtedly correspond to H. macullulata .

Distribution. Hersiliola simoni was reported widely from Spain, Morocco, Niger, Cape Verde, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, and Israel, although some records are doubtful or incorrect. Records of this species from Cape Verde should, in our opinion, refer to H. versicolor , the only species described and properly recorded from these islands (cf. Rheims et al. 2004). The record and illustrations of H. simoni from Yemen (Rheims et al. 2004) refer, in our opinion, to H. macullulata .
