Comments.

This species has been well described in several publications. It has a trans-Palaearctic range ( Marusik et al. 2004). Previously it was reported from Ussuri Reserve ( Marusik et al. 2004). Unlike other Acantholycosa species this species lives in habitats without stones. From other congeners it can be easily distinguished by having only 4 pairs of ventral tibial spines (other species have 5-6 pairs).
