ABSTRACT. Four species described from Siberia and Kyrgyzstan are synonymized: Araneus aralis Bakhvalov, 1981 syn.n. = Aculepeira armida (Audouin, 1826), Haplodrassus hiemalis (Emerton, 1909) syn.n. = Haplodrassus stuxbergi (L. Koch, 1879), Haplodrassus simplex (Kulczyński, 1926) syn.n. = Haplodrassus moderatus (Kulczyński, 1897) and Alopecosa albonotata (Schmidt, 1895) syn.n. = Arctosa alpigena (Doleschall, 1852). One new combination, Aculepeira sogdiana (Charitonov, 1969) comb.conf. (ex Araneus), is confirmed; this species was described based on both sexes, not only by females as indicated in WSC [2023].
KEY WORDS: Araneae, Aculepeira, Haplodrassus, Arctosa, new combination, new synonym.
