Comments. The type of Trochosa ochracea cannot be located at the Wien Museum (Christoph Hörweg, pers. comm.). It is not possible to determine the species to which it may belong based on the female. Currently, three species are known from Spain— T. hispanica , T. robusta , and T. ruricola . We synonymize T. ochracea with the oldest species of Trochosa to prevent further nomenclatorial changes or discussion to suppress the older name T. ochracea in order to keep either T. hispanica or T. robusta .
