Pesic. Paratypes: 2 males, 1 female, same data as holotype, 1 male and 1 female of them dissected and slide mounted in Hoyer's fluid.</p> <p>Diagnosis: Characters of the rotunda species group (Gerecke, 1996b); leg claws with 3­4 Lcl and 5 Mcl; genital field with low Ac number (males: 18­20, female: 22), CAc elongate (L&gt; 60 in both sexes, ratio L/ W 1.9 ­2.1 in male, 2.2 in female), chelicera (Fig. 10) slender (ratio L/H 5.2­5.8).</p> <p>Description</p> <p>Male (holotype, measurements of paratype are given in Table 1): Idiosoma 823 in length and 592 in width, Cx­1+2 L 260, Cx­3+4 L 238; leg claws with 4 Lcl and 5 Mcl (Fig. 6); genital field with 20 Ac; CAc L 77, CAc W 36, ratio L/ W 2.14; CAc stalk L 32, ratio stalk L/L of CAc 0.42; genital flaps reduced to a very faint setae–bearing sclerotized strip (Fig. 5); ejaculatory complex L 177, without particular features (Fig. 9); gnathosoma L 234, chelicera L 257, ratio basal segment/claw 2.9, ratio L/H 5.8; palp: total L 357,dorsal length and L/H ratio (in parentheses) of palp segments: P­1 23 (0.46), P­2 96 (1.82), P­ 3 48 (0.74), P­4 146 (3.62), P­5 44 (2.54); relative length [% of total length] of palp segments: P­1 6.5, P­2 26.9, P­3 13.5, P­4 40.9, P­5 12.3; L ratio P­2/P­4 0.66.</p> <p>Female (for all measurements, see Tab. 1): Idiosoma 1282 in length and 859 in width, Cx­1+2 L 304, W 231, L/W ratio 1.31, Cx­3+4 L 280; leg claws as in male.</p> <p>Discussion: Due to the character combination of genital flaps present as straight sclerified strips, chelicera with weak claw (ratio basal segment/claw 2.9), Cx­1+2 plates with obtuse­angled mediocaudal margin and higher number of setae, caudal Ac longish (length&gt; 25 µm, ratio length/width&gt; 1.1), stalk length 20­37 and P­4 more stocky (ratio length/ height&gt; 2.9), Protzia durmitoris nov. sp. is most similar to Protzia halberti (Walter, 1920), Protzia rotunda Walter, 1908, and Protzia cf. rotunda sensu Gerecke, 1996 b.</p> <p>From P. halberti (in parentheses [the measurements of Gerecke, 1996a are given]), P. durmitoris nov.sp. differs in the following character combination: more slender chelicerae, ratio L/H 5.7­5.8 in male, 5.2 in female (ratio L/H 4.1­4.5, rarely up to 4.9 [in population from Savoie­France]), P­2 medially with one pennate dorsodistal setae (two in P. h a l b e r t i), leg claws with five medial clawlets (5­9 in most cases&gt; 6). The number of medial clawlets, considerably overlaps values in populations of P. halberti from Savoie (5­6).</p> <p>This population fits well the diagnostic character combination and the variability ranges given for P. halberti by Gerecke (1996a), but differs from typical P. h a l b e r t i populations by the fewer number of Mcl (5­6), and a more slender chelicera (ratio L/H 4.5­4.9).</p> <p>Protzia durmitoris nov. sp., (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 = male; 11 = female): 5 = coxae and genital field; 6 = leg claws; 7 = palp, lateral view; 8 = palp, medial view; 9 = ejaculatory complex; 10 = chelicera; 11 = genital field. Scale bars = 0.1 mm.</p> <p>Compared with P. ro t u n d a (in parentheses [from Gerecke, 1996b]), P. durmitoris nov. sp. differs clearly in much longer CAc, L&gt; 60 in both sexes, L/W ratio 1.9­2.1 in male, 2.2 in female (L&lt;30, L/W ratio 1.1­1.5 in both sexes), and the more slender chelicera, ratio L/ H 5.2­5.8 (4.7­5.3). Furhermore, P. durmitoris nov. sp. differs from P. cf. rotunda (in parentheses [from Gerecke, 1996b]), in the lower number of Mcl (7­13 in most cases 9­ 10), and a lower ratio stalk L/L of CAc, &lt;0.7 (ratio stalk L/L of CAc&gt;0.7).</p> <p>Etymology: The species is named after the nature reserve where the species was found.</p> <p>Biology: Rhitral; 760 m asl.</p> <p>Distribution: Serbia and Montenegro; only known from the locus typicus.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A087D80D1CB2170239FDBFFB75FDCE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The specimen from Bulgaria is assigned to P. cf. rotunda and differs from typical of the P. rotunda due to the higher number of medial clawlets, 7­8 (5­6 in P. ro t u n d a; in specimens of P. cf. rotunda from Southern Italy, 7­13, in most cases 9­10 [from Gerecke, 1996b]).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A087D80D1AB2150239FD67FBD3FE45	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
