Materials Examined
Type material:Erigone fabra Keyserling 1886, 3 HOLOTYPE. (BMNH), NOT EXAMINED.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis: Males can be differentiated from all other species in Agyneta by the presence of a mastidion (Figs 21, 395), from other species of the group by the rugose, equal sized dorsal and ventral cymbial tubercles (Fig. 391). Females can be distinguished from other Agyneta species by their abdominal pattern (Fig. 396), from other species of the group and A. regina by the presence of a shallow or deep pit hook depression (Figs 397, 398).
Description
Description: Male: Total length 2.64; carapace length 1.15, width 0.80. CEPHALOTHORAX: Carapace dark orange-brown, shiny, finely reticulate; lightly suffused with gray along margin and radiating lines; sometimes with the dark gray trident mark. Sternum, orange brown, suffused with gray. Clypeus height 2. Chelicerae excavated, swollen, dark orange-brown with mastidion (Fig. 395); ~ 15 seta-tipped tubercles; promargin four teeth (situated in the median part), dorsal surface with large bulge, retromargin four denticles and a large projection at base of the fang. Cheliceral stridulatory organ with ~ 34 striae, evenly spaced. ABDOMEN: Uniformly gray, or pale off-white with four dark spots medially (Fig. 394). LEGS: Yellow-orange; palp dark brown, almost black; leg I total length: 5.12; leg III total length: 3.41; Tm I: 0.24, Tm IV: absent. GENITALIA: Palpal tibia retrolateral tibial apophysis absent; dorsal tibial apophysis small, rugose; two retrolateral trichobothria and a dorsal one (Fig. 390). Cymbium with conical extension; glabrous depression present (Fig. 390); dorsal and ventral tubercles rugose, more or less of equal size; prolateral notch deep (Fig. 391). Paracymbium apical pocket medium, anterior pocket long and curved, posterior pocket absent (Fig. 390). Embolus tip curved; small spines basally and ventrally; Fickert’s gland elongated set basally; ventral lamella absent; thumb long going beyond the embolus proper (Fig. 392). Embolus proper set apically with large prong near base (Fig. 392). Anterior terminal apophysis large, well sclerotized with few protrusions; posterior terminal apophysis large, well sclerotized; lamella characteristica with heavily sclerotized tip and with numerous short spikes (Fig. 393). Female: Total length 2.46; carapace length 0.972, width 0.753.

CEPHALOTHORAX: Carapace yellow, shiny, finely reticulate, lightly suffused with gray along radiating lines and margin. Sternum yellowm lightly suffused with gray. Chelicerae promargin four teeth, retromargin four denticles. Cheliceral stridulatory organ ~ 24 striae, well spaced.
