ABSTRACT. The paper presents new taxonomic-faunistic data on five species of the fossorial Lycosidae (Aranei) from Middle Asia and the Caucasus. A new species of Karakumosa Logunov et Ponomarev, 2020 (♂♀) is described from south-eastern Uzbekistan and eastern Turkmenistan. The taxonomic status and diagnosis of K. turanica Logunov et Ponomarev, 2020 are clarified and its distribution is mapped. Additional faunistic records are provided for Geolycosa dunini Zyuzin et Logunov, 2000; Lycosa praegrandis C.L. Koch, 1836; and Zyuzicosa kopetdaghensis Logunov, 2012.
