Syedra nigrotibialis Simon, 1884 is a charismatic species of dwarf spider (Linyphiidae) endemic to the Tyrrhenian region, previously only known from relatively few specimens. Here we present the first record of the species in Germany, far from its original range. Several specimens were found in multiple urban green spaces in the city of Stuttgart. We also provide photographs and illustrations as well as a DNA barcode for the species.
