Comments.

Acantholycosa norvegica is the type species of the genus. It has been well described in several publications. This species has a trans-Palaearctic range. Although it has a wide range and is known from the adjacent Khabarovsk Province ( Trilikauskas 2007) and the more eastern Magadan Area, it has not previously been reported from the Maritime Province. It is worth mentioning that the record from Maritime Province is the southernmost of its known range.
