Diagnosis Zodarion maculatum can be distinguished from other members within the elegans group by the presence of a long terminal apophysis in males (Figures 21H, 21I, 22A, 22B), and a short, protruding septum with a transverse, bean-shaped cavity in females (Figures 25H, 27F).

(Figure 27F) Epigyne comprising a short, protruding septum with a transverse, bean-shaped cavity located behind the septum. Copulatory openings on sides of the septum.
