Material examined. RUSSIA: 331Ƥ (GTS), Maritime Province, Lazovskii District, Oblachnaya Mt, 43°41'40.27"N, 134°11'59.41"E, 1790 m, scree, 20.06.2008 (M.M. Omelko); 232Ƥ (GTS), same locality, 23.06.2008 (M.M. Omelko).

Comments. The species is described in an earlier paper. Sibirocosa manchurica is similar to S. kolymensis . It is known only from the type locality (Oblachnaya Mt) in the Maritime Province. S. manchurica only inhabits screes above 1700 m ( Fig. 63 ). Adult spiders of both sexes occur in the second half of June and only females with cocoons can be found in August.
