ABSTRACT. Bogdocosa Ponomarev et Belosludtsev, 2008 is proven to be a monotype genus of the Lycosidae. A revision of the taxonomic status of some Central Asian wolf-spider species, such as Alopecosa kronebergi Andreeva, 1976 (from Tajikistan), Bogdocosa baskuntchakensis Ponomarev et Belosludtsev, 2008 (from cis-Caspian Region and Iran) and Pardosa beijiangensis Hu et Wu, 1989 of the multivaga species group (from East China), has resulted in two new synonyms and a new combination: Bogdocosa kronebergi (Andreeva, 1976) comb.n. (ex Alopecosa) = P. beijiangensis Hu et Wu, 1989 syn.n. = B. baskuntchakensis Ponomarev et Belosludtsev, 2008 syn.n. It is shown that the type series of Alopecosa latifasciata (Kroneberg, 1875) is heterogeneous and contains two syntype males from Magian Vil. (Panjakent District, Sughd Region, Tajikistan) and females of B. kronebergi from Samarkand Town (Uzbekistan). An updated diagnosis and description of Bogdocosa genus are provided; the distribution of B. kronebergi is mapped.
