目前已知的意大利动物群中有七种蜘蛛是巢蛛科的。三种意大利巢螨属于新成立的Domitius Ribera属，2018年。所有这些物种都显示出沿着亚平宁山脉的有限分布和对洞穴生活的深刻适应。在此，第四种，D.描述了产于亚平宁山脉北方一洞穴中的一新种culsu sp. nov.。文中提供了新种的详细描述和诊断。分子和形态学分析表明，D. culsu sp. nov.的报道支持了该新种的正确性，并支持了该新种与同一地理区域的其他多米提乌斯种的密切关系。与分布在伊比利亚半岛的物种也观察到密切的亲和力。对D. culsu sp. nov.对外界干扰的敏感性，以及其极其有限的分布，使得这种蜘蛛具有保护价值。
Seven species from the spider family Nesticidae are currently known for the Italian fauna. Three Italian nesticids belong to the newly-established genus Domitius Ribera, 2018. All these species show a restricted distribution along the Apennine mountain chain and deep adaptation to cave life. Herein, a fourth species, D. culsu sp. nov. from a single cave in Northern Apennines is described. Detailed illustrations and diagnosis of the new species are provided. Molecular and morphological analysis of both sexes of D. culsu sp. nov. supports the validity of the new species and its close relationship with the other Domitius species from the same geographical area. A close affinity with the species distributed in the Iberian Peninsula is also observed. The potential susceptibility of D. culsu sp. nov. to external disturbance, and its extremely limited distribution, makes this spider of interest for conservation.
