Type material — Female holotype, slide No ST 181215, Russia: Primorskiy kray, Vladivostok, Botanical Garden-Institute, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 43 ° 13 ’ 26.3 " N, 131 ° 59 ’ 34.6 " E, from mosses on log, 18 December 2015, coll. S. Tupitsyn. Paratypes: 17 females, same data as holotype. Etymology — The new species name refers to its distribution in the Far East of Russia. Differential diagnosis — The new species is most similar to E. absens Do ˘ gan, 2005, described from Turkey (Do ˘ gan 2005), by the absence of setae e 2, presence of two callosities, only one seta on trochanter III and two pairs of aggenital setae. The new species differs from E. absens by distinctly thickened distally and strongly barbed dorsal idiosomal setae (vs. baculiform and weakly barbed in E. absens) and by setae sci longer than sce (vs. sci about two times shorter than sce in E. absens).	en	Khaustov, A.
