Diagnosis.

Haplodrassus kulczynskii is similar to Haplodrassus rugosus Tuneva, 2005 from Kazakhstan and Haplodrassus taepaikensis Paik, 1992 from Korea and the Russian Far East. Both species have a toothed terminal apophysis. Haplodrassus kulczynskii can be easily distinguished from similar species by having a much wider terminal apophysis, having a step-like subterminal outgrowth on the dorsal margin of the RTA (in Haplodrassus rugosus and Haplodrassus taepaikensis such an outgrowth is absent), and by the longer lateral pockets of the epigyne (in Haplodrassus taepaikensis they are shorter; the female of Haplodrassus rugosus is unknown).

Distribution.

West Palaearctic - Far East disjunct nemoral-subtropical range: Central and Southern Europe to Urals, Caucasus, Turkey, Eastern China, Far East Russia and Korea ( Mikhailov 1997; Tuneva and Esyunin 2003; Helsdingen 2010; Platnick 2012).

Habitats.

Steppe.

Phenology.

In Crimea ♂♀ - IV-V, the peak of activity in adults occurs in April. In Central Europe ♂♀ - IV-VIII ( Nentwig et al. 2011).
