.
FIGURES 27–30.
Copulatory organs of
Gnaphosa sticta
. 27–28 male palp, ventral and retrolateral, Finland; 29–30 epigyne, ventral and dorsal, Anadyr’. Scale = 0.2 mm. Abbreviation:
Ma—
median apophysis.
Comments
. Here we provide figures of this species to show the similarity to females of
G. koponeni
sp. n.
Figures of epigynes provided by
Ovtsharenko et al. (1992)
,
Almquist (2006)
and this study (
Figs 13–15
,
29–30
) differ slightly in shape of lateral pockets, size and direction of glands and shape of receptacles, but all illustrated specimens have the same shaped insemination (copulatory) ducts (
Id
). Males of
G. sticta
have a very large median apophysis (
Ma
).
Distribution
. The present records from Chukotka coincide with the previous easternmost known locality of the species, which was in the upper reaches of Bolshaya Osinovaya River. This species is known from
Norway
to East Chukotka and south to Tuva and Hokkaido.
