ABSTRACT. A list of 44 spider species collected
from east Kazakhstan. A new species Acantholycosa
tarbagataica sp.n. () is described from the Tarbag-
atai Mt. Range. The species name Drassodes chybyn-
densis Esyunin et Tuneva, 2002 is removed from the
synonymy with D. lacertosus (O. Pickard-Cambridge,
1872). Five species are recorded new to Kazakhstan:
Drassodes chybyndensis Esyunin et Tuneva, 2002,
Haplodrassus kulczynskii Lohmander, 1842; Zelotes
gallicus Simon, 1814; Alopecosa accentuata (Latreille,
1817); and A. cinnameopilosa (Schenkel, 1963).

Introduction
The spiders of east Kazakhstan remain incomplete-
ly studied. Besides the earlier works by Savelyeva
[1970, 1972a,b,c, 1979], the only more or less compre-
hensive list of east Kazakhstan spiders (all families)
exists for the Saur Mt. range [Eskov & Marusik, 1995],
presenting 199 species of which 19 were described as
new. Apparently the best studied group of spiders of
East Kazakhstan Region is the Salticidae, numbering
77 valid species [Logunov & Marusik, 2000]. There is

also a good deal of data for the east Kazakhstan Gna-
phosidae [Tuneva, 2004; present data], with 26 species
reported from the area.
The spiders reported on in this paper were collected
by the second author (DL) during his fieldtrip to east
Kazakhstan in May 2007. The details of all localities
visited and habitats explored are given below. In the
following list of species, each species name is followed
by a number/letter in square brackets corresponding to
the locality/habitat in which it was collected. The spe-
cies recorded from Kazakhstan for the first time are
marked with asterisks (*).
Specimens were photographed using an Olympus
Camedia E-520 camera attached to an Olympus SZX16
stereomicroscope. The images were montaged using
CombineZP image stacking software. Photographs
were taken in dishes of different sizes with paraffin
wax at their bottom. Different sized holes were made in
the bottom to keep the specimens in the correct posi-
tion. Figures 2729 were made by Sergei Zonstein
(Department of Zoology, The George S. Wise Faculty
of Life Sciences, Tel-Aviv University, Israel).
The format of description follows Marusik et al.
[2003], all measurements are given in mm: male (fe-
male).
The following list (in total, 44 species) includes
only the species determined for certain. The following
six species have not been identified and therefore not
included in the list: Cheiracanthidae (Cheiracanthium
cf. pennyi/elegans: 2 [2]; C. cf. virescens:
1 [4]); Linyphiidae (Agyneta sp.: 2 [4];
Gen. sp.: 1 [6]; Minyrioloides sp.: 3 [1]);
Lycosidae (Trochosa sp.: 1 [4]).
The studied specimens have been shared between
the following museums: MMUM Manchester Mu-
