There are 3 species of Micrommata in Cyprus.

Micrommata formosum (Pavesi, 1878)

I have 3 records.

Distribution: Algeria to Israel. New to Cyprus.

Micrommata ligurina (C. L. Koch, 1845)

I have two records

Distribution: Mediterranean to Central Asia. New to Cyprus.

Micrommata virescens (Clerck, 1757)

I have 1 record.

Distribution: Palaearctic. New to Cyprus.

Data about habitat are insufficient to give any conclusions.

Exact data will be published this year in:

Spiders of Cyprus (Araneae). A catalogue of all currently known species from Cyprus. Bosmans et al.

Dear Robert Bosmans,

thanks a lot for your prompt reply!

However, I was asking about the habitus of the species, particularly what is the coloration of Micrommata formosa adult males as I found contrasting information.

Have you perhaps seen some around?

Thanks a lot!

Paolo

Dear Paolo,

I am collecting the samples within this project.

So I am field surveyor. Identification is carried out my Kadir Boğaç Kunt from Turkey. I forward your questions and Robert Bosman's reply to him by email. If I hear from him I will let you know.

Thanks a lot for our interest on our research project.

Thanks

Dear Ozge,

thanks a lot for your reply and for forwarding my question to your colleague!! That helps a lot!

Looking forward to hear what he says and wish you all the best with the project!

Thanks,

Paolo
