Diagnosis (according to Gruber & Martens 1968, slightly modified) Subspecies of N. bidentatum with large, arched dorsal hump on male Ch basal article, and large, apically, sagittally shallowly bifid, quarter moon-like Ch-Apo, ~2.4 times as high as wide. Pa-Fe distinctively club-shaped (Pa-Fe min:max width ~1:3.5), with 3 stout spines in distal Pa-Fe quarter, spine 2 the largest and longest. Pa-Pt Apo equilateral triangular with rounded apex. Pa-Ti with conspicuous proximal dorsomedial hump. Glans isosceles triangular, terminally rounded-truncated. Rec sem of 1 tubular and 12 elongated balloon-like vesicles.

Description (according to Gruber & Martens 1968, slightly modified) Male (from Ljubelj) BODY. Length 1.5���1.7. CHELICERAE. Ch basal article with large, arched hump in front of dorsal indentation, and large ventral triangular hump; Ch-Apo conspicuously quarter moon-like, Apo apex sagittally bilobed, medial lobe with inconspicuous apical pinnacle (Figs 4A, 6A, 9A).

Pa-Pt distinctively ventrally bent, with large, stout, apically rounded medio-ventral Pt-Apo. Pa-Ti straight or slightly bent dorsally, with small, but distinct proximal dorso-medial hump.

Remarks The type locality Comana Vlasca in Romania (Roewer 1914) is erroneous, since besides N. b. sparsum (sic! not described by Roewer 1914), the type series also contains N. b. bidentatum and N. triste, both endemic to the Eastern Alps (Gruber & Martens 1968: 143). Later, Roewer (1951) designated a type specimen from the type series from an unknown locality, but the mixed composition of the type series remained unresolved (Gruber & Martens 1968). Thus, there was a need to clarify the type locality (ICZN 1999: Art. 75.3.1.). Respecting both Roewer��s drawing of the male Ch characteristic of individuals in the Karawanken/Karavane Mts and the syntopy of the Roewer��s type specimens with N. triste, Gruber & Martens (1968) redescribed the nominal subspecies N. b. bidentatum upon a neotype (Gruber & Martens 1968: figs 4���6) from B��rental, Carinthia, Austria (not mapped in Gruber & Martens 1968: fig. 24). B��rental is considered the type locality of the type subspecies. However, according to our findings the figured Pe tip from Leutschach/Lučine, Styria, Austria (Gruber & Martens 1968: fig. 3), considered under the type subspecies, belonged to N. b. schmidti ssp. nov. All so far published evidence on N. b. bidentatum in Slovenia, Croatia and NE Italy (Hadži 1927, 1928; Gruber & Martens 1968; Martens 1978; Novak & Gruber 2000; Komposch & Gruber 2004; Novak 2004a, 2004b, 2005b, 2005c; Novak et al. 1984, 1995, 1996, 2002, 2006, 2017) refer to other taxa. The type series deposited in Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (Gruber & Martens 1968) also includes N. b. schmidti ssp. nov. See remarks under N. pluridentatum stat. nov., N. b. schmidti ssp. nov., N. b. gruberi ssp. nov. �� N. b. schmidti ssp. nov. and N. b. martensi ssp. nov. �� N. b. schmidti ssp. nov. Distribution The South-Eastern Alps: Austria, Slovenia (Gruber & Martens 1968; Martens 1978), perhaps endemic to the Karawanken/Karavanke Mts. Vertical distribution (incomplete data): 980���1407 m a.s.l. (partly Gruber & Martens 1968 and Martens 1978; this work). Type locality: B��rental/Zavrh���Rute (46.47�� N, 14.15�� E, 980 m a.s.l.) near Feistritz im Rosental/Bistrica v Rožu, Carinthia, Austria. Ecology Montane subspecies of N. bidentatum inhabiting submontane and montane neutrophile fir forests within the area of distribution of the montane beech forests, dominated by Abies alba Mill., with a great admixture of Picea abies (L.) H.Karst. and Fagus sylvatica L. Phenology: adults probably eurychronous.
