This species belongs to the " rubidum " group sensu Bosmans (1997). It is closely related to Z. viduum Denis 1937, Z. costablancae Bosmans 1994 and Z. machadoi Denis 1939. Males of this species are distinguished from these species by shape of tibial apophysis, which is wide at base and gradually tapering towards tip. Females differ in shape of posterio­lateral margins of epigynal plate that are convergent. Description. Male. Total length 2.39 mm (SD=0.14, n=10), prosoma 1.25 mm (SD=0.06, n=10) long, 0.87 (SD=0.03, n=10) wide. Colour: Prosoma, chelicerae and sternum brown. Legs yellow but femora I and II brown. Opisthosoma dorsally dark sepia with one whitish spot above spinnerets, ventrally pale. Palp (Figs 56): tibial apophysis broad gradually tapering, curved anterio­dorsally, distally pointed. Basal part of bulbus protruding. Retinaculum with distal end rounded and flattened. Embolus and disal tegular apophysis straight and truncate. Female. Total length 3.19 mm (SD=0.32, n=10), prosoma 1.34 mm (SD=0.08, n=10) long, 0.92 (SD=0.06, n=10) wide. Colour: as in males but femora III and IV distally light brown. Epigyne (Figs 78): with two pouches. Anterior margin with a wedge­shaped structure. Posterior margins convergent. Width of epigynal plate twice as long as distance between inner ends of posterio­lateral margins. Distribution. In continental Portugal it is known from the centre of the country, in the Azores from Pico and Faial islands (Fig. 16). Etymology. The name is an adjective derived from the Atlantic Ocean in whose proximities it is found., Published as part of Pekár, Stano & Cardoso, Pedro, 2005, Ant-eating spiders (Araneae: Zodariidae) of Portugal: additions to the current knowledge, pp. 51-60 in Zootaxa 1009 (1) on pages 54-55, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.1009.1.5, http://zenodo.org/record/5048932, {"references":["Bosmans, R.
