Comparative material
Haplodrassus deserticola Schmidt & Krause, 1996 from the Canary Islands: 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀ (TNU), leg. et det. J. Wunderlich.
Diagnosis
This species is most similar to Haplodrassus deserticola from the Canary Islands (Figs 40–42, 50–51). Haplodrassus deserticola differs from Haplodrassus minor by having a dorsal abdominal pattern (Fig. 66). Haplodrassus minor and Haplodrassus deserticola also differ by the shape of the embolus (thick in Haplodrassus minor, andthin in Haplodrassus deserticola), terminal apophysis (thick in Haplodrassus minor, and thin in Haplodrassus deserticola), median apophysis (short in Haplodrassus minor, and long in Haplodrassus deserticola), epigyne and spermathecae.
Variations
Haplodrassus minor ishighly variable in body size and also in the shape of the bulbal apophyses, RTA (slightly indented or not indented) and the epigyne (Figs 43–65). It is interesting to note that the width of the terminal apophysis decreases with increasing longitude (i.e. from west to east) (cf. Figs 44, 47, 49, 57, 63).
Distribution
The species has a European range and is known from Portugal to Ural, north to Wales and south to Crete (Tuneva, Esyunin 2003; Helsdingen 2010[7]; Platnick 2012[5]).
Habitats
Steppes, meadows, forest strips (=shelterbelts) within steppes.
Phenology
In Crimea ♂♀ – V-VI, ♂♂ – IV, ♀♀ – VII, the peak of activity in adults occurs in May. In Britain ♂♀ – IV-VI, with the peak in June (Harvey et al. 2002[8]), a month later than in Crimea.
