Material examined. 1 male ( FSCB), Russia, Primorsky Krai, Chuguevsky District Verkhneussuriysky Research Station , forest clearing, 2–5. V.2008, leg. S.A. Shabalin.

Distribution. Russia: Far East (Primorsky Krai).

Remarks. This species was originally described in Diplomaragna from the Yakovlevsky and Chuguevsky districts, Primorsky Krai ( Shear 1990), but later transferred to the genus Maritimosoma ( Mikhaljova 2000) . Reexamination of the type material and topotypes has allowed correcting the error in the diagnosis regarding the number of body rings (there are 32, and not 30, as was mistakenly indicated in the original description, see Mikhaljova 1997).
