Morphology

Troglohyphantes nigraerosae is a small sized cave spider with a body length of 3 mm (Prosoma length: 1.50 mm, prosoma width: 1.15 mm). [1] From a genetic standpoint, T. nigrerosae represent the sister group of T. vignai. [2] Males of the latter species can be distinguished from T. nigraerosae by the shape of the lamella significativa of the male palp (see [1] ).
