Abstract
Three species, Pardosa eskovi sp. nov. (Russia: Yakutia and Evenkia), P. logunovi sp. nov. (Mongolia and Russia: Altai and Tuva), and P. zyuzini sp. nov. (Mongolia and Russia: Altai, Tuva, Chita Area) are described. Redescriptions are provided for the widely distributed P. tesquorum (Odenwall, 1901) (Siberian-Nearctic) as well as for P. mulaiki Gertsch, 1934 (western Nearctic) and P. tesquorumoides Song & Yu, 1990 (China and ? Mongolia). All species are assigned to the Holarctic Pardosa tesquorum group (westernmost records from the Polar Ural). Pardosa paratesquorum Schenkel, 1963 (China and Mongolia) is redescribed but excluded from the P. tesquorum group. Pardosa daqingshanica Tang, Urita & Song, 1994 is a junior synonym of P. paratesquorum.References
