Acantholycosa baltoroi (Caporiacco, 1935)

Figs 26, 27

Acantholycosa baltoroi: Song et al., 1999: 310 , figs 186A, M (♂♀); Marusik et al., 2004: 112, fig. 60 (♂).

MATERIAL EXAMINED. Russia: Khabarovskii krai, Slavyanka , ca. 49°28' N, 136°46' E, 1990, 1♂, coll. S. Golovatch ( ZMMU) .

NOTES. This species was described from northern Pakistan and later reported from Nepal and several provinces of China (Sichuan, Xizang, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and Jilin). There are some doubts whether different populations are conspecific as the type material has not been studied, and Marusik et al. (2004) noticed some differences in the male palp structure. The male from Slavyanka is more similar to specimens illustrated from China than those from Nepal. The record of this species from Khabarovskii krai is the northeasternmost in the whole range. The male palp is illustrated on Figs 26, 27 .
