N2 - The femoral organ of Zodarion spiders has not been investigated in detail yet. In this study we describe the external and internal structure of this organ. The organ is situated at the distal tip of the femora of all the legs during all developmental stages. The size of the organ (expressed as the number of hairs) increased with the ontogenetic development of Zodarion species. The organ was confirmed to occur in both sexes of all 47 Zodarion species examined. It is possibly present in all species of this genus. The size of the organ increased with the size of the species. A comparative anatomical study was performed in juveniles and adults of both sexes of Zodarion rubidum, and females of both Z. cyrenaicum and Z. jozefienae.
