“…The new species also shows some affiliation to the recently described Incestophantes australis Gnelitsa, 2009 from the Crimea, but differs from it in the shape of lamella characteristica, the terminal apophysis in the male, the posterior median plate and the wider proscape in the female. Perhaps both species -as well as the only conspecific species in the Caucasus Ecoregion, I. amotus (Tanasevitch, 1990) --are the result of recent divergent evolutionary processes in the Crimea and Caucasus Major, which contributed greatly to the high proportion of endemic spider species in the high mountain ecosystems of the Caucasus [Chaladze et al, 2014].…”

The new species, Incestophantes shetekaurii sp.n., is described from the high mountains of the Caucasus Major (Georgia, 2500 m a.s.l.). This new species is similar to the European-West Siberian I. crucifer (Menge, 1866) and to the Crimean I. australis Gnelitsa, 2009, but differs noticeably in the details of the genitalia in both sexes. The generic position of Bolyphantes lagodekhensis (Tanasevitch, 1990), and its differences to I. shetekaurii sp.n., is briefly discussed and illustrated. РЕЗЮМЕ. Из высокогорий Большого Кавказа (Грузия, 2500 м н.у.м.) описан Incestophantes shetekaurii sp.n. Новый вид близок к европейскозападносибирскому I. crucifer (Menge, 1866) и к крымскому I. australis Gnelitsa, 2009, но отличается деталями строения гениталий обоих полов. Кратко обсуждено систематическое положение Bolyphantes lagodekhensis (Tanasevitch, 1990), его отличия от I. shetekaurii sp.n. проиллюстрированы.

“…Transferred from Bolyphantes by Saaristo & Tanasevitch [2000]. I. australis was first described from Crimea as a species very close to I. crucifer, differing in some minor structural details of the paracymbium, lamella characteristica (LCh), terminal apophysis, and the distal part of the scape (DPs) with the notes on high variability of the other characters of female genitalia [Gnelitsa, 2009]. When compared with the drawings in this description, we found out that the specimens examined are similar with I. australis in many diagnostic features, although they apparently belong to I. crucifer.…”

“…On his expert opinion, the diagnostic characters of I. australis are actually individual variations in I. crucifer. In view of aforesaid, Incestophantes australis Gnelitsa, 2009 is being considered as a junior synonym of Incestophantes crucifer (Menge, 1866), syn.n.…”

ern regions of the European part, in Urals, Siberia, and in the Far East. Such region as Middle Russia is quite well-studied in this context, about 250 linyphiid species are registered here [Seyfulina, Kartsev, 2011; Nentwig et al., 2019]. Any unknown to science species are found extremely rare (e.g. Tanasevitch, Esyunin, 2013), and new taxonomic material concerns mainly the contribution to regional fauna. In current study, a number of species are reported for the first for Middle Russia, as well as for one part of this territory, namely Moscow Area. Up to date, the local checklist includes 164 linyphiid species. The bulk of them (142 sp.) were published in the Spider catalogue of the Moscow Region [Mikhailov, 1983], another 17 species were added to the list by Tanasevitch [2008a] and Seifulina [2008]. Recently, the database was widened after our inventory work in the Prioksko-Terrasny Nature Reserve [Seyfulina, 2017], further results of which are presented here. Material and Methods Linyphiidae specimens were collected by the author during inventory study of the Prioksko-Terrasnyi State Biosphere Reserve, initiated in 2014. The Reserve is located in the south of Moscow Area on the left side of Oka river (N 54°52' E 37°36, Fig. 1). It covers the territory about 50 sq. kilometers and contains different types of forest, dry and lowland meadows, steppe patches, small lakes, rivers, and sphagnum bogs. Material for this paper was gathered by using pitfall traps and sifter in four type of forests, in two different meadows, as well as on the water sides. Specimens listed below are verified by Dr A.V. Tanasevitch and kept in the Reserve (PTSBR). Abbreviations of the names of palp and epigyne are following: DPs-the distal part of the scape; LChlamella characteristica. Other abbreviations: p.t.-pitfall traps; s.l.-same locality. ABSTRACT. 12 spider species of fam. Linyphiidae are reported as the first records in Moscow Area (Russia), one of which is new also for the fauna of Middle Russia (Improphantes complicatus). Comments with species distribution and early records from the country, as well as taxonomical and biological notes are attached to the list. New synonym is proposed: Incestophantes australis (Gnelitsa, 2009) = Incestophantes crucifer (Menge, 1866), syn.n. (valid name on the right). How to cite this article:
