Important statement.[edit]

Hello. I live in Russia, in the small town of Akhtubinsk. this year, in the spring, I noticed this spider and I understand it is rare. If you are interested, please contact me. Was seen: 26.04.2020 DenRUS Russia (talk) 10:34, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@DenRUS Russia: the only certain way to identify most spiders is to examine the genitalia of mature specimens, particularly male pedipalps. According to the World Spider Catalog, this species is not found in Russia. To confirm yours, you'd need to show a specimen preserved in alcohol (e.g. 75% isopropanol) to an expert.
