Gnaphosa alpica is a ground spider species found in Europe, primarily found in the alpine grasslands of Switzerland and in France.[1] Gnaphosa alpica was first described as a species by French naturalist and arachnologist Eugène Simon(1848-1924).[2] Today, Gnaphosa alpica's range is threatened by shrinking alpine grassland habitats in Europe.[1]
