Records from Crimea.

Bragina (1984); Kovblyuk (2004a,b, 2006); Kovblyuk et al. (2008).

Note.

The earlier record of Haplodrassus cognatus from Crimea was based on specimens of unknown sex and number from Karadag Nature Reserve ( Bragina 1984). Haplodrassus cognatus is absent in our material from Crimea, although we have large collections, especially from the Karadag Reserve). It is reasonable to conclude that the earlier records of Haplodrassus cognatus from Crimea represent a misidentified material.

Diagnosis.

Haplodrassus cognatus can be distinguished from all other Haplodrassus species by its straight terminal apophysis with a basal tooth in males, and by the shape of the fovea and wide anterior hood (Ah) in females.

Distribution.

It has a trans-Palearctic boreo-nemoral range and occurs from France to Hokkaido, north to north Ural and Tomsk, and south to Greece ( Marusik et al. 2000; Helsdingen 2010; Platnick 2012).

Phenology.

In Central Europe ♂♀ - III-X ( Nentwig et al. 2011).
