description: Torrenticola lundbladi (K. Viets, 1930)   
(Figs. 5A–F, 6, 7B,D, 8B,D, 9B–C, E–F)  
 Material examined. Spain, Segovia, Sierra de Guadarrama, Eresma stream (40º50.590' N, 4º01.657' W), 29.v.2012 and 19.vi.2012, 1/1/0 (mounted), 2/2/0 in voucher collection for LSCM and molecular study.   
 General features. Shoulder platelets fused to dorsal plate, but suture line visible; area of primary sclerotization of the dorsal plate with two dorsoglandularia; posterior suture line of Cx-4 indistinct; postgenital area large; excretory pore and Vgl–2 posterior to the line of primary sclerotization; distal margins of P-2 and -3 without denticles, ventral protuberance of P-4 unpaired, with one longer, and three shorter hairs; capitular rostrum (Figs. 5D, F) relatively long and slender (L/H ratio 2.0–2.4).   
 Description. Male: Idiosoma (ventral view: Fig. 5B, 7D) L 819, W 638; dorsal shield (Fig. 5A, 7B) L 688, W 534, L/W ratio 1.29; dorsal plate 653; frontal platelets L 141–144, W 58, L/W ratio 2.4–2.5; capitular bay L 140; Cx-1 total L 322, Cx-1 mL 181, Cx-2+3 mL 125; ratio Cx-1 L/Cx-2+3 mL 2.6; Cx-1 mL/Cx-2+3 mL 1.45; genital field L/W 159/131, L/W ratio 1.2; ejaculatory complex as in Figure 5C, L 255; distance genital field–excretory pore 122, genital field–caudal idiosoma margin 200; capitulum (Fig. 5D, 9B,E–F) vL 298; chelicera total L 334; palp (Fig. 5E): total L 316, dL: P-1, 37; P-2, 98; P-3, 62; P-4, 97; P-5, 22; P-2/P-4 ratio 1.01.   
Female: Idiosoma (ventral view: Fig. 6, 8D) L 956, W 856; dorsal shield (Fig. 7D) L 831, W 719, L/W ratio 1.16; dorsal plate 797; frontal platelets L 166, W 72–73, L/W ratio 2.3; capitular bay L 173; Cx-1 total L 347, Cx-1 mL 172, Cx-2+3 mL 20; ratio Cx-1 L/Cx-2+3 mL 17.4; Cx-1 mL/Cx-2+3 mL 8.6; genital field L/W 203/200, L/ W ratio 1/02; distance genital field–excretory pore 253, genital field–caudal idiosoma margin 371; capitulum (Fig. 5F, 9C) vL 338; chelicera total L 411; palp: total L 373, dL: P-1, 45; P-2, 116; P-3, 72; P-4, 117; P-5, 23; P-2/P-4 ratio 0.99.  
 Remarks. After the original description (K.Viets 1930), only one further record was published by Lundblad (1956) who showed that the male allotype of T. lundbladi designated by K.Viets was not conspecific, but represented T. ungeri. Our specimen from Segovia (Spain) agrees well with the description of T. lundbladi by Lundblad (1956) for the male and by K. Viets (1930) for the female.   
 Habitat. Rhitrobiont; sandy/bouldery streams with well developed riffle areas (Fig. 10).   
 Distribution. Spain (K. Viets 1930, Lundblad 1956; present study).
