A small spider with dark bands on the front part of its body, recorded from Europe, the Caucasus and Turkmenistan.
The front part of the body has pronounced continuous dark side bands. The front legs often carry dark stripes or rows of spots.
This spider also inhabits sandy places with patches of low heather. In Gribskov, Denmark, an adult female was found in a small heather bush beside an open grazed area.
The female found in a 2023 Danish national-park survey came from a locality far from the previously known sites. Earlier Danish records were largely limited to sandy heather slopes around Silkeborg in Jutland. The new locality was near Sandskredssøen in Gribskov on Zealand.
The area retained exposed sandy ground and small heather patches. The investigator considered it the best habitat for this species among the nearby places he knew. He also proposed that, before this open area was created, the spider might have occupied sandy slopes along forest paths. A female in a small bush drew attention to sunny sandy openings within the forest as possible habitat.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
The 2023 Gribskov report judged suitable habitat to be scarce locally and proposed extending and maintaining the open grassland near Sandskredssøen. It recommended promoting exposed sandy patches and slopes where heather could grow, and suggested propagating and planting heather to create additional future habitat. These were site-management recommendations based on the female and its habitat.
