Type species: Lycosa nemoralis Westring, 1861.</p><p>Saitocosa Roewer, 1960: 889. Type species: Tarentula flavitibia Saito, 1934.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Members of this genus can be easily separated from otherEvippinae genera by the fewer number of ventral tibial spines on leg I (3pv &amp; 2rv, or 2-2v), carapace lacking transverse depression (present in Evippa Simon, 1882) and lack of pseudo-articulation of tarsi (Fig. 13). Xerolycosa can be differentiated by the shape of their copulatory organs. Females have a short droplet-shaped septum (about as long as wide), while in Evippa the septum is long and has a well developed septal stem. The male palp in Xerolycosa has a shorter course of the seminal duct and a shorter embolus, which is only partly hidden by the tegulum.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Medium-sized (5.5-7.5) dark coloured or spotty lycosids. Carapace spotty or dark coloured with lighter median band and two lateral stripes. Cephalic region not elevated. Chelicerae with 3 promarginal and 2 retromarginal teeth. Inner side of chelicerae with a kind of stridulatory file (Fig. 12). Femora with 3 dorsal spines, tibia and metatarsus with 2 dorsal spines, sometimes poorly developed, tibia and metatarsi with four or five ventral spines (3pv-2rv or 2-2v). Tarsi without transverse furrow.</p><p>Male palp: cymbium with several apical spines; tegular apophysis shifted retrolaterally, with bill-like extension directed ventrally. Palea absent, embolus forming almost a circle, only partly hidden by tegulum. Epigyne: fovea (depression) absent, septum droplet-shaped, covered with hairs, almost as wide as high; stem short. Weakly sclerotized parts of epigyne are referred to here as windows (Wi).</p><p>Comments.</p><p>Saitocosa was synonymised with Xerolycosa by Yaginuma (1986: p. 169) through synonymisation of the type species Tarentula flavitibia Saito, 1934 with Xerolycosa nemoralis.</p><p>Dahl (1908) described Xerolycosa and placed only two species in this genus: Xerolycosa nemoralis and Xerolycosa miniata . No type species was selected. It is not clear who selected Xerolycosa nemoralis as the type species. The first clear indication we found was in Roewer's catalogue (Roewer 1954: p. 309). The same species was indicated as the generotype in Roewer's revision of Lycosidae (Roewer 1959: p. 893) and in Bonnet's catalogue (1959: p. 4836).</p><p>In Platnick's catalogue (2011) five species are listed under Xerolycosa: Xerolycosa miniata (C.L. Koch, 1834), Xerolycosa nemoralis (Westring, 1861), Xerolycosa pelengena Roewer, 1960, Xerolycosa sansibarina Roewer, 1960 and Xerolycosa undulata Chen, Song et Kim, 1998. Roewer's species are known from Africa (Congo and Zanzibar). Judging from the figures, Xerolycosa pelengena is a member of Trochosini, due to its carapace pattern (two dark longitudinal stripes within the median band, just behind the PLE) and epigyne (anchor-shaped septum, and triangle-shaped hoods of the apical pocket) and seems to belong to Trochosa . Therefore, we propose the new combination: Trochosa pelengena (Roewer, 1960) comb. n. Xerolycosa sansibarina, known from the male sex only, has a carapace and abdominal pattern very different from Evippinae species, and the palp has a distinctly different conformation, typical for the Lycosinae (tegular apophysis stretching horizontally, tip of embolus visible and resting horizontally in a tegular depression). However, we refrain from suggesting a new combination because its generic affinities are currently unclear.</p><p>Because of the burrowing behaviour in Xerolycosa mongolica (Schenkel, 1963), believed to be absent in the other species, we first followed A.A. Zyuzin's (personal communication) opinion that it may belong to a separate genus. However, females of Xerolycosa nemoralis are known to excavate shallow depressions in soil (Smola 2007). In addition to behaviour, Xerolycosa mongolica has widely spaced posterior median eyes (one diameter apart) in contrast to the type species, Xerolycosa nemoralis, and Xerolycosa miniata (less than one diameter apart). Study of the male palp and the leg spination revealed no differences between Xerolycosa mongolica and the other species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/DAB0FA7E929F78586EA862F82C43C4AA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Marusik).</p><p>Notes.</p><p>The holotype female of Xerolycosa mongolica is very pale and the pattern is not visible. The figure in Schenkel (1963), however, corresponds well with the pattern observed in Tuvan specimens. When Yu and Song (1988) synonymized Arctosa mongolica and Xerolycosa nemoralis they mentioned that the type of Arctosa mongolica had been studied. The general appearance of the epigynes in the two species is not similar. The epigynal septum and the windows are more similar to those in Xerolycosa miniata (cf. Figs 31, 33, 35 and 37).</p><p>Xerolycosa undulata was described on the basis of the holotype male from Heilongjiang, not far from Tsitsikar. According to the text (Chen et al. 1999), the type was deposited in the Institute of Zoology in Beijing. However, the type was not found in the collections (Li, personal communication). Comparison of our figures of the male palp of Xerolycosa mongolica and figures of Xerolycosa undulata provided by Chen et al. (1998) leaves no doubts that these two names should be synonymized. It is worth mentioning, that when Xerolycosa undulata was described the male of Xerolycosa mongolica was unknown.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Xerolycosa mongolica differs distinctly from its congeners by its spotty pattern and lack of longitudinal bands or stripes on the carapace, widely spaced anterior median eyes (more than one diameter of AME), long filiform embolus, shape of the tegular apophysis, and structure of the epigyne and vulva.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Male.</p><p>Total length 6.1 (5.6-6.25). Carapace: 3.05 (2.8-3.1) long, 2.1 (1.9-2.1) wide. Carapace length/femur IV ratio 1.07 (1.03-1.12). Habitus and pattern as in Figs 2-3.</p><p>Palp as in Figs 18-21, 23, 29-30, cymbium with distinct spines, apical part of tegular apophysis with triangular extension, embolus filiform along its entire course.</p><p>Female.</p><p>Total length 6.6 (5.7-6.6). Carapace: 2.35 (2.35-2.7) long, 1.7 (1.7-1.85) wide. Carapace length/femur IV ratio 1.18 (1.1-1.18). Habitus and pattern as in Fig. 2.</p><p>Epigyne as in Figs 35-38, septum almost triangular in shape, upper margins of windows inclined.</p><p>Comments.</p><p>It seems that Schenkel (1963) placed this species in Arctosa due to the carapace pattern being typical for the genus (no stripes or bands). Arctosa mongolica was synonymized with Xerolycosa nemoralis by Yu &amp; Song (1988) without examination of the female holotype. Study of the holotype and comparison with European and Siberian specimens of Xerolycosa nemoralis revealed clear differences in pattern, spination and copulatory organs and therefore we remove Xerolycosa mongolica from synonymy and establish a new combination.</p><p>Biology.</p><p>Xerolycosa mongolica females make burrows in the ground in places with sparse steppic vegetation. The burrows are relatively deep 7-10.5 cm and 4-6 mm in diameter (Logunov, personal communication). Apparently males do not construct burrows. These observations were first made by Dmitri Logunov in Tuva. Subsequently we (Koponen and Marusik) witnessed this behaviour. It is worth mentioning that Xerolycosa mongolica seems to be the smallest burrowing wolf spider (Logunov, personal communication).</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>The exact distribution of this species is unknown because the type locality is uncertain (Urga-Tsitsikar), and because of incorrect synonymisation its distribution in China is unclear. Xerolycosa mongolica is well documented from Tuva only.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/EF12B081435156BEFC715E397D8A270A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
