Species text
Z. subterraneus is rare. The two species Z. subterraneus and Z. apricorum are very closely related (Murphy & Platnick 1986). In particular, the epigynes of the females are difficult to separate, and even the internal genitalia are very similar. So far, most of the few specimens recorded from Britain have come from coastal locations, as in the south-east, and inland stony areas, as in northern England and central and eastern Scotland. The Essex specimens appear to have occupied discarded shells on shingle beaches, but elsewhere Z. subterraneus is typically found under stones, even on mountains (Harvey et al. 2002). In Essex it has been found at a few coastal sites including Colne Point. References
