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]).
Distribution
Southern Graian Alps (NW Italy). The species occurs preferentially in caves.[3]
gollark: If most people avoid infection until a vaccine is widely available, that would work.
gollark: Probably not practical to do it in the US *now*, though, or most other places.
gollark: Also, New Zealand managed it.
gollark: The timing matters, though.
gollark: There's not enough testing capacity to make all that work.
