Extensive material of this species was examined for, inter alia, Logunov & Marusik (1995: Chita Oblast), Koponen et al. (1998: Polar Ural), Marusik et al.

Comments. Kulczyński’s (1916) description of Lycosa arctica clearly shows that this species is conspecific with Pardosa eiseni. His illustrations depict the species specific shape of the embolus (pl. 2 fig. 67) as well as the close position of the proximal parts of the horn-like structures (with fertilization ducts) in the epigyne (pl. 2 fig. 71). However, he seems to have mixed up pl. 2 figs 69 and 70: the former should show P. giebeli and the latter P. eiseni. Holm (1950: 126) mentioned P. arctica under P. eiseni, evidently indicating synonymy (not accepted in Platnick 2014).
The species was most recently described in Almquist (2005). Regrettably, he seems to have confused P. eiseni and P. trailli. His figs 225a–e are said to illustrate male and female of P. eiseni. While figs 225a–c clearly show a male of P. eiseni (specific shape of embolus), fig. 225e evidently shows a dorsal (internal) view of an epigyne of P. trailli: the horn-like structures (with fertilization ducts) are far apart in this species compared to the configuration in P. eiseni. It is hard to judge which of these two species is represented in his fig. 225d. The map of distribution in Sweden (Almquist 2005: 228) erroneously shows occurrence in the province of Dalarna (instead of P. trailli).
Habitat. The species occurs in a variety of habitats, preferably on dry ground, at elevations from 600 to 1400 m (Marusik 1988). In Sokhondo Reserve (Chita Oblast), P. eiseni occurs in mountain deciduous and mixed taiga forest and in moss-lichen tundra (including boggy sites) (Logunov & Marusik 1995). (See also under Habitat for P. lyrata below.) In Fennoscandia this species is restricted to the north, and inhabits dry sites in subalpine birch forests, inter alia in heaps of rocks, as well as in alpine dwarf shrub heaths in the Torneträsk area of northern Lapland (Holm 1950). In northernmost Finland (Utsjoki: Kevo), this species has been found in high numbers from pine forest up to low alpine heath (about 90 to 320 m) (Koponen 1976). In Primorsky Kray it occurs only in alpine tundras (about 1600–1800 m asl).
Distribution (Figs 128–129). Wide distribution in the Palearctic, from Norway in the west to Chukotka in the east, southward to Mongolia and Primorsky Kray (Marusik et al. 2000: map 148).
