Diagnosis.

Acantholycosa aborigenica is similar to A. irinae Fomichev & Omelko, 2020 ( Fomichev and Omelko 2020, figs 1, 2, 7, 8, 13–15, 22–24, 48–49) in having the embolic tip bent anteriorly and median apophysis lacking apical arm (Figs 1 A, B View Figure 1 , 2 C – F View Figure 2 ). The males of A. aborigenica can be distinguished from those of A. irinae by the paleal apophysis with broadened end ventrally (Figs 1 A View Figure 1 , 2 C, E View Figure 2 ) (vs. sharp); median apophysis with triangular basal arm in ventral view (Figs 1 A View Figure 1 , 2 C, E View Figure 2 ) (vs. semi-oval); absence of embolic spine near embolic base (Figs 1 A View Figure 1 , 2 C, E View Figure 2 ) (vs. presence). Females can easily be distinguished from those of A. irinae by the septal base occupying 1 / 4 atrium (Figs 1 C View Figure 1 , 2 G View Figure 2 ) (vs. 1 / 2), and septal stem reaching the apical pocket (Figs 1 C View Figure 1 , 2 G View Figure 2 ) (vs. not reaching the apical pocket).

Description.

See Marusik et al. (2004). Habitus as shown in Fig. 2 A, B View Figure 2 , male palp as in Figs 1 A, B View Figure 1 , 2 C – F View Figure 2 , epigyne as in Figs 1 C, D View Figure 1 , 2 G, H View Figure 2 .

Distribution.

From Central Aimag in Mongolia to the upper reaches of the Kolyma River and south to Inner Mongolia ( China).

Comment.

This species belongs to the A. lignaria - group.
