REDESCRIPTION OF THE TWO HARPACTEA BRISTOWE, 1939 (ARANEAE, DYSDERIDAE) SPECIES KNOWN FROM TURKEY

During our field studies to determine the Harpacteinaae fauna of Turkey, additional samples of Harpactea erseni and H. pugio species described on male species were collected; detailed photographs constituting taxonomic characters of the reproductive organs of both male and female species were given and descriptions were made and distribution of the species was shown on the map. H. erseni belongs to the rubicunda (D) group which is defined for the genus, by the male reproductive organs and some other characters. However, the newly described female reproductive organ is closely related to the lepida (C) group because the posterior spermatheca is completely sclerotized. This situation is discussed in the article. H. pugio has been evaluated in the rubicunda (D) group due to posterior diverticulum in the crusted posterior spermatheca of the female reproductive organ and the taxonomic characteristics of the both sexe
