| Summary: | Gulocosa gen. n. Type species: Gulocosa eskovi sp. n. Etymology. We continue the tradition of naming wolf spider genera by combining the name of a predatory vertebrate as the first element and ending with –cosa (or -osa) (cf. Cameron 2005; Marusik & Kovblyuk 2011), typical for lycosid genera (e.g. Arctos - Arctosa, Mustela - Mustelicosa, Lynx - Lynxosa, Pantera pardus - Pardosa). The generic name is derived from the scientific name of the wolverine (Gulo gulo) and ends with -cosa. The gender is masculine. Diagnosis. Gulocosa gen. n. differs from most Acantholycosa species (exception A. baltoroi (Caporiacco, 1935)), all Sibirocosa and Melecosa gen. n. by having 4 pairs of ventral spines on leg I (Fig. 3). Acantolycosa baltoroi differs from G. eskovi sp. n. by having no epigynal fovea, longer embolus and shape of fovea. Gulocosa gen. n. differs from Mongolicosa, which have 4 pairs of ventral spines on tibia I. The new genus can be distinguished by a thick embolus (Figs 9, 14, 16, 23‒27), high apical arm of ... : Published as part of Marusik, Yuri M., Omelko, Mikhail M. & Koponen, Seppo, 2015, A survey of East Palaearctic Lycosidae (Araneae). 11.
