Abstract

A morphological and biometrical study of a population of Porrhomma egeria (Simon) has allowed to determine that P. moravicum (Miller and Kratochvil) and P. obambulatum (Kritscher) belong to the same species and should thus be considered synonymous. The importance of biometric studies for the study of this Genus is emphasised.
