Unfortunately I don't have this specimen and this is the only one I've ever seen ! But this year I'll try to find other specimens...

And thank you for ID :)

This is Acantholycosa lignaria :) This is a relict species from the glacial period. It is really a special spider for me becouse I was the first one who found it also in Hungary, in 2009. :)

Jorge, You don't have this genus surely in Portugal :)

Regards, Walter
