Species text
P. nemoralioides is almost entirely a coastal species, but is widely distributed on sand dunes in southern Britain. It is scarce, but the spider may be frequent where it occurs. Roberts (1985) included P. nemoralioides (as P. mediocris and P. locketi) in P. nemoralis though it has been treated as distinct from P. nemoralis in Merrett et al. (1985), Merrett & Millidge (1992) and Merrett & Murphy (2000). The species is typically found in sandy habitats, particularly coastal sand dunes, amongst marram and other grasses, but has also occurred in steep south-facing chalk grassland and on shingle.
