Material examined.

China: • 3 ♂, Inner Mongolia, Hulun Buir, Ewenki Co., Yiminhe Town, Yimin River bank, 48°36'6"N, 119°47'40"E, elev. 669 m, 26–31.07. 1972, J. M. He and D. R. Yang leg. • 1 ♂, Jilin Prov., Yanbian Pref., Antu Co., Erdaobaihe Town, 42°26'11"N, 128°6'1"E, elev. 728 m, 24. 06. 1979.

Diagnosis.

Acantholycosa lignaria is similar to A. zonsteini Marusik & Omelko, 2017 (Marusik and Omelko 2017, figs 1–9) in having a rather large paleal apophysis, bilobated tip of embolus and flat and broad embolic spine (Figs 3 A, B, 4 B – F), but it can be differentiated by the terminal apophysis angled ventrally (Figs 3 A, 4 B, D, F) (vs. straight); the triangular embolic spine extending posteriorly (Figs 3 A, 4 B, D, F) (vs. conical spine extending prolaterally); and the subdistal part of the embolus not tapering ventrally (Figs 3 A, 4 B, D, F) (vs. tapering).

Description.

See Marusik et al (2004). Habitus as shown in Fig. 4 A, male palp as in Figs 3 A, B, 4 B – F.

Distribution.

From Germany and Sweden east to Kamchatka and south to Jilin and northeastern Inner Mongolia (China).

Comment.

This species belongs to the A. lignaria - group.
