Genus Pardosa C. L. Koch, 1847

The Pardosa tesquorum group. The following species are here placed in this group: Pardosa eskovi sp. nov., P. logunovi sp. nov., P. m u l a i k i Gertsch, P. tesquorum (Odenwall) , P. tesquorumoides Song & Yu , and P. z y u z in i sp. nov.

We recognize this group by a combination of the following characters in the male copulatory organs: 1) tegular apophysis rugose, characteristically bent and sharply pointed, with small hook-shaped process at base ( Figs 18 , 49, 51 , 76 , 93 , 105 ), 2) embolus broad and laminar, with more or less truncated tip ( Figs 13 , 42, 43 , 70 , 87 , 98 ), and 3) more or less heavily built basal process of palea ( Figs 15 , 44, 46 , 73 , 90 , 102 ).
