Alopecosa koponeni sp. nov. Figs 2–7. Type material. Holotype ♀ (07CHU-AR-0201, GU683697) Miss Piggy, 5 km East from Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, 58.76°N, - 94.086°W, 23 m a.s.l., 10 August 2007, J. Lankshear, J. McGowan. Deposited in the Canadian National Collection of Insects & Arachnids, Ottawa, Ontario (CNC). Paratypes. 1♀ 4 ♂♂ same locality as holotype, 20 June 2007, J. Lankshear, J. McGowan, labelled as follows: ♀ (07CHU-AR-0206, GU683699), ♂(07CHU-AR-0202, GU683696), ♂ (07CHU-AR-0203, GU683695), ♂ (07CHU-AR-0204, GU683701), and ♂ (07CHU-AR-0205, GU683700), all deposited in CNC. Moreover, DNA barcodes have revealed four additional juvenile specimens (07PROBE-06502, KF367830; 07PROBE-02739, KF367832; 07PROBE-02883, KF367831; 07PROBE-02770, KF367833), which are deposited in the Biodiversity Institute of Guelph.
