Agelena labyrinthica (Clerck, 1757)

Material examined: Ararat Province: 1♂, env. of Lanjar , 39°49'N 44°58'E, 28.v.2021 . Yerevan: 2 juv., Botanical Garden , 40°12'38"N 44°33'25"E, sweeping and litter, 17.v.2021 .

Comments: This species is known from almost 60 localities in the Caucasus ( Otto 2020): in the Russian part, as well as in Georgia and Azerbaijan. Juveniles of A. labyrinthica , A. orientalis (C.L. Koch, 1837) and Allagelena gracilens (C.L. Koch, 1841) look similar. However, the juvenile specimens from the Botanical Garden most probably belong to A. labyrinthica , which is a transpalaearctic species known from Armenia; the specimens have also been collected in the habitat common for this species.
