Nadolny (Simferopol, Ukraine ) who studies Lycosidae . Diagnosis. The new species is most similar to S. sibirica from which it can be distinguished by the tapering tip of the embolus ( Figs 43, 44 ), thinner conductor (cf. Figs 18 , 40, 41 ) and the almost rectangular shape of the conductor in posterior view ( Fig. 42 ). Description. Male. Total length 6.3, carapace 3.25 long, 2.55 wide. Carapace brown without pattern with black area around eyes. Legs brown with annulations. Femur I with 3 dorsal, 2 pro- and 2 retrolateral spines; patella with 2 dorsal, 1 pro- and 1 retrolateral spines; tibia with 2 dorsal, 1 pro-, 1 retrolateral and 5 pairs of ventral spines; metatarsus with 2 pro-, 2 retrolateral and 2 pairs of ventral spines. Leg I segments length: 2.55+1.15+2.7+2.35+1.3. Abdomen brownish grey with indistinct cardiac mark and white spots. Palp as in Figs 14 , 39-44 . Distribution . The new species is known from the type locality only ( Fig. 64 ). FIGURES 60–63. Photographs of Sibirocosa specimens and habitat. Male of Sibirocosa koponeni sp. n.

Sibirocosa sibirica has the largest range within the genus and is known from the Putorana Plateau to eastern Yakutia and from Lena River delta to northern Transbaikalia. In Northeastern Siberia it is replaced by S . kolymensis in the taiga zone and by S. subsolana in the tundra zone. FIGURE 64.

Stekolshchikov). Comments . The species is described in an earlier paper. Sibiricosa subsolana has the northernmost range in the genus, occurring from the Kolyma River mouth to the eastern edge of the Chukotka Peninsula and north to Wrangel Island (ca 71°N) (Marusik et al. 1992). It is possible that the species might also be found in the adjacent Seward Peninsula of Alaska (Marusik et al. 2004).
