Diagnosis

The species differs from its congeners mainly by the configuration of the gonopod telopodite apex, like two plates placed perpendicular to each other, the central one with a seminal groove, the second one being serrate at its outer margin (Fig. 6A–B) (vs without two plates in all congeners).

Material re-examined (specimens published by Mikhaljova 1993)

RUSSIA • 1 ♀; Primorskiy krai, Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve, Blagodatnoe; 22 Sep. 1982; M.N. Gromyko leg.; Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb. forest; FSCB 11982 • 1 ♂; same locality as for preceding; 26–27 Jun. 1986; M.N. Gromyko leg.; FSCB 11986 .

Distribution

Russia: Far East, Primorskiy krai.

Remarks

Originally described from Kavalerovskiy District, Primorskiy krai, Russia (Lokschina & Golovatch 1977), this species appears to be distributed in eastern and central parts of the Primorskiy krai (Mikhaljova 2017). The abundance ranges from 3.5 ind./m 2 in mountainous forest to 62 ind./m 2 in valley forests (Kurcheva & Mikhaljova 1980). Vulva as in Fig. 6C.
