Sibianor larae Logunov, 2000 M a t e r i a l. 1 Ơ, Volyn Area, Shatsky National Nature Park, Shatsk District, Svityaz Vil., 51°28'33'' N, 23°47'37'' E, sphagnum bog, pitfall, 29.05.1990 (Evtushenko); 1 ♀, Chernyhiv Area, Ripky district, Grybova Rudnya Vil., 51°56'54'' N, 31°08'10'' E, swamped pine-birch forest, on the sphagnum hummock, 31.06.1985 (Evtushenko). Salticid spider S. larae is a Palearctic species (Platnick, 2014). In the first description D. Logunov (2000) characterized this species as Euro-Siberian temperate species distributed in Fennoscandia and Estonia, through the middle Urals and Siberia, eastward to Sakhalin (Logunov, 2000). Also S. larae was registered in Belgium (Keer van et al., 2010), Sweden (Logunov, 2000; Almquist, 2006), Germany (Keer van et al., 2010; Staudt, 2011), Netherlands (Vogels, 2012). Notably, the specimens of the species were mainly found in dry open biotopes: semi-shrubby meadow, low-lying meadow, sheep-grazed wet heath, dry heath etc. (Logunov, 2000; Vogels 2012). Both specimens were found on sphagnum of the wet bog and in the shaded pine-birch forest. Although the species habitat is vast, the finds of S. larae specimens are rare and small in numbers (Logunov, 2000; Vogels, 2012). In Belgium, Germany and Netherlands S. larae was characterized as a rare species (Vogels, 2012). Published as part of Evtushenko, K.
