- Abstract
Palystes kreutzmanni sp. n. is described from habitats close to Kleinmond, in the Western Cape Province, South Africa. Spiders of this new species live in the typical fynbos vegetation of the Western Cape region. Th ey build retreats between apical leaves of Leucadendron bushes. Th e systematic position of P. kreutzmanni sp. n. is discussed. Male and female show characters of diff erent species groups, especially the female copulatory organ seems to be unique within the genus Palystes L. Koch, 1875.
