| Popis: | Loureedia lucasi (Simon, 1873). Figures 2C, 4D, 5 and 13O. Eresus lucasi Simon, 1873: 353, plate. 10, Figs 8 and 9 (♂ ♀) [8] (original description). Loureedia lucasi: Henriques et al. 2018: 5, Fig 1a–h (♂ ♀) [3]; Zamani and Marusik 2020: 242, Fig 3h (♂) [6]. Type material. Syntypes: male and female (NMHN), ALGERIA: Oran (leg. H. Lucas) (not examined). Diagnosis. The male palp of L. lucasi (Figure 4D) is similar to that of L. maroccana (Figure 4E) in that it has a relatively short stem of conductor and the retrolateral arm of the conductor is longer than the prolateral arm, but differs from it, as both arms of the conductor bear blunt tips (Figure 4D) vs. pointed (Figure 4E), it has shallower concavity on the frontal margin of the conductor (Figure 4D), and there is a distinct invagination apically on the ectal margin of the stem of the conductor (Figure 4E). The two species are also very similar in the male coloration pattern but differ due to the dark posterior part of the carapace in L. lucasi (Figure 2C) vs. crimson red in L. maroccana (Figure 2B). Moreover, the male of L. lucasi has more distinct white spots on the dorsal abdominal surface (Figure 2C). Description. Henriques et al. [3] did not provide any description of the male, and the specimen was not available for us to examine. Female. See Henriques et al. [3]. Variation. No information. Phenology. No information. Distribution. Algeria (Oran Province) (see Figure 5).
