During a large survey of agelenid spiders from different private and museum collections, a closer examination of material\ from all over Italy (including type material and fresh material) previously identified as Histopona italica Brignoli 1977,\ disclosed two new species for science, both belonging to the italica group. Based on the results of the present work, we\ describe Histopona leonardoi sp. n. and H. fioni sp. n. and revise the distribution pattern of H. italica group in Italy and\ Switzerland. Drawings and photographs of relevant structures and a table summary of the diagnostic characters allowing\ a fast separation of the species are provided.

In H. torpida, the long embolus runs through a precisely defined course in the membraneous genital pouch of the female vulva. The patellar apophysis locks the pedipalp in the female epigastric furrow. In T. denticulata this is accomplished by the retrolateral tibial apophysis that gets hold at the female scape. In both species the conductor has a locking as well as a guiding function for the embolus. A comparison with previously investigated agelenids shows a surprising diversity in the function of the retrolateral tibial apophysis.}, keywords = {comparative study] [Mating / /, Copulation, functional morphology, functional morphology of copulatory organs]., Histopona torpida, Histopona torpida (Araneae)., organs, Reproduction, Reproductive behaviour, Reproductive system, Textrix denticulata (Araneae)., Textrix denticulata [Genitalia / / Copulatory}, isbn = {0001-7272}, url = {://ZOOREC:ZOOR13200024928}, author = {Huber, Bernhard A.} } @article {184, title = {Notes on the Myops group of Histopona Thorell, 1869, from Greece, with description of a new cave-dwelling species (Araneae, Agelenidae)}, journal = {Atti e Memorie della Commissione Grotte "Eugenio Boegan"}, volume = {40}, year = {2005}, note = {ZOOR14409056860}, month = {2005}, pages = {17-35}, abstract = {

Histopona thaleri n. sp. is described on both sexes from the cave Megalo Spilio on Mount Serekas, above the village Monastiraki (Aitolo-Akarnania, Western Greece) and the related species H. hauseri (Brignoli, 1972) from Corfu (Ionian Islands) and H. myops (Simon, 1885) from Mt Ossa massif (Thessaly) are redescribed and figured. The new species is distinguished from the other species belonging to the myops group by the shape of male and female genitalia. A table to the identification of the Greek representatives of the group is given and notes on taxonomy, ecology and geographical distribution of the treated species are added.

A diagnosis of the genus Histopona Thorell is presented. In the past, ambiguous definitions of the genus have been the origin of\ some taxonomic confusion. All species hitherto included in the genus Roeweriana Kratochvil are here transferred to Histopona.\ Male and female of H. egonpretneri n. sp. (cave in Mt. Velebit, Croatia) and isolata n.sp. (cave on Crete) are described and\ pictured.\ Histopona laeta (Kulczynski) and\ H. debilis Thorell are synonymized with H. torpida and H. laeta var. paganettii\ (Nosek) with H. conveniens Kulczynski. It is argued that differences between Roeweriana and Histopona were based mainly on\ reduction of eye size and pigmentation in the former. According to modern views loss of eye, in many spider species appears to be\ a minor, fairly easily accomplished adaptation with little phylogenetic weight and this character alone cannot be accepted as a\ ground for the separation of genera.
The genus Histopona here conceived comprises at present 16 species; 11 inhabit hypogean habitats in limited ranges in\ southeastern Europe; several are known from one cave only. Histopona torpida is a purely epigean species, distributed over most\ of Europe, the other epigean species occupy smaller, partly overlapping ranges. A group of closely related species in caves in the\ southwestern Balkan Peninsula (group myops) is troglobitic ; no eyeless species are known at present.
