Content
Based on investigation of historical material, both recently separated species (Micaria micans and Micaria pulicaria) are confirmed in the Czech Republic (see Tab.). The former prefers open, rather lowland habitats, whereas the latter occurs at mountain ranges and/or peat bogs. A useful character for identification of the males turned out to be the position of the terminal curve of the sperm duct in relation to the embolus (see Fig.).
