Gnaphosa sticta Kulczynski 1908

Description

Gnaphosa sticta Kulczyński, 1908

Figs 13–15, 27–30.

Gnaphosa sticta: Ovtsharenko & Marusik 1988: 208, figs 16–17, 20 (♂♀); Ovtsharenko et al. 1992: 48, figs 163168 (♂♀); Almquist 2006: 404, figs 350a–e (♂♀).

For a complete synonym listing and references see Platnick (2014).

Material examined. FINLAND: 1♂, 2♀ (ZMUT), Utsjoki, Kevo, indoors, 5.09.1973-6.06.1974 (S. Koponen). RUSSIA: Chukotka: 1♀ (ZMMU), 74 km W of Anadyr’ City, Anadyr’ River near Omochi River mouth, 613 m, 64.82N 175.967E, 7-8.2013 (O. Khrulyova).

Description. The species has been described by Almquist (2006).

Comments. Here we provide figures of this species to show the similarity to females of G. koponeni sp. n. Figures of epigynes provided by Ovtsharenko et al. (1992), Almquist (2006) and this study (Figs 13–15, 29–30) differ slightly in shape of lateral pockets, size and direction of glands and shape of receptacles, but all illustrated specimens have the same shaped insemination (copulatory) ducts (Id). Males of G. sticta have a very large median apophysis (Ma).

Distribution. The present records from Chukotka coincide with the previous easternmost known locality of the species, which was in the upper reaches of Bolshaya Osinovaya River. This species is known from Norway to East Chukotka and south to Tuva and Hokkaido.
