Type species
:
StOliczka insiGnis
O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1885
, by the original monotypy.
Comments
. Since the genus placement in
Pisauridae
by
Simon (1898)
, it has been mentioned in catalogues only (
Petrunkevitch 1928
;
Roewer 1955
;
Bonnet 1958
;
Platnick
2000
‒2014 and
WSC 2018
).
Diagnosis
.
Stoliczka
can easily be separated from other Palaearctic Pisaurinae by the low clypeus (1.25 of AME diameter), whereas other genera have the clypeus over two AME diameters. Unlike other Palaearctic Pisaurinae genera, the epigyne of
Stoliczka
has no septum.
Description
. The same as that of the
type
species,
S. insignis
(see below).
Composition
. Only two species have been assigned to the genus:
S. insignis
and
S
.
affinis
.
Distribution
. Northeastern
Pakistan
and Karakoram.
