Description of a male Zimirina corsica sp. nov. (Arachnida, Araneae) – the first Prodidomidae species reported on the European territory of France
A new Prodidomidae species (genus <i>Zimirina</i> Dalmas) is proposed based on the description of a male specimen caught in Corsica. The specimen can be distinguished from other <i>Zimirina</i> males by the shape of its tegulum and cymbium. Considering that it differs in a number of characters from all other male <i>Zimirina</i> we propose to name this new species <i>Zimirina corsica</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>, referring to the type locality.
