Two new species of Cybaeodes Simon, 1878 (Araneae, Liocranidae) and description of the male of C. magnus Ribera & De Mas, 2015 from the MSS in the eastern Prebaetic Mountain Range (eastern Spain)

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Ribera, Carles, Ortuño, Vicente M., Jiménez-Valverde, Alberto, Domènech, Marc (2025): Two new species of Cybaeodes Simon, 1878 (Araneae, Liocranidae) and description of the male of C. magnus Ribera & De Mas, 2015 from the MSS in the eastern Prebaetic Mountain Range (eastern Spain). European Journal of Taxonomy 1004: 39-57, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2025.1004.2959, URL: europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/2959/13343 Abstract.

Many species in the spider genus Cybaeodes Simon, 1878 have been described from caves and show marked adaptive characters to the underground environment, being considered troglobitic species. They have also recently been captured in the MSS (Mesovoid Shallow Substratum), a poorly known but species-rich habitat that lies between the superficial ground and the deep ground environment. Given the particular habitat of Cybaeodes and the difficulty of studying it, the diversity, biology and geographic distribution of this genus remain poorly known.
