Fig. 1: Illustration of the epigyne of a. C. rupestre in Herman’s original description; Herman 1879: Tab. VIIı fig. 158); b. of C. macedonicum in Drensky’s original description; Drensky 1921: Tab. Iı fig. 14) ı and C. of C. striolatum in Arachnides de France; Simon 1932: fig. 1361). The epigyne of C. rupestre is structurally quite different. In contrastı the epigynes of the other two taxa represent the extremes of a continuum in external appearanceı and both forms and their intermediates can be found within a single population.
