Material (only selected localities are shown) . ISRAEL : Eastern Galilee : Lake Hula , 8.iv.2010 ( L. Friedman & C. Drees ) – 6♂ ( TAU ) ; Jordan Valley : 1.iv.1943 ( A. Shulov ) – 1♀ ( TAU ) ; Central Coastal Plain : Berekhat Ya’ar , 4.iv.2010 ( L. Friedman & C. Drees ) – 11♂ 7♀ ( TAU ) ; Nahal Poleg ( 32°15.5’N 34°50.3’E ), 18.iii.2013 – 1♀ ( TAU ). Comments. This species was previously known from Greece to western Turkmenistan ( Mikhailov 2013 ; WSC 2015 ). It is very easily distinguished from other lycosid genera in Israel because of the characteristic habitus, pattern, the huge tegular apophysis of the males ( Figs 3 a-b) and the very hairy epigyne lacking fovea ( Fig. 3c ). Aulonia kratochvili was not previously reported from Israel. The record from Nahal Poleg is the southernmost in the entire range.
