ABSTRACT. The male of Lepthyphantes lagodekhensis Tanasevitch, 1990 is described from Georgia (Caucasus) for the first time. The examination of the genital organs of both sexes showed the species actually belongs to Bolyphantes C.L. Koch, 1837, and most similar to the South Siberian B. distichus (Tanasevitch, 1986) and B. distichoides Tanasevitch, 2000.
