Abstract

Schizocosa Chamberlin, 1904, with type-species Lycosa ocreata Hentz, 1844, comprises 20 species occurring in southern Canada, the U.S.A., and Mexico: S. ocreata (= Lycosa charonoides Montgomery, 1902, SYN. N.); S. crassipes (Walckenaer, 1837); S. floridana Bryant, 1934; S. saltatrix (Hentz, 1844); S. humilis (Banks, 1892) (= Lycosa episima Chamberlin, 1924, SYN. N.); S. duplex Chamberlin, 1925; S. salsa Barnes, 1953; S. bilineata (Emerton, 1885); S. segregata Gertsch and Wallace, 1937; S. aulonia Dondale, 1969; S. crassipalpata Roewer, 1951; S. mimula (Gertsch, 1934) (= Lycosa coahuilana Gertsch and Davis, 1940, SYN. N.); S. minnesotensis (Gertsch, 1934); S. retrorsa (Banks, 1911); S. avida (Walckenaer, 1837); S. maxima sp. n.; S. chiricahua sp. n.; S. cespitum sp. n.; S. communis (Emerton, 1885), comb. n. (= S. heasmani Dondale, 1969, SYN. N.); S. mccooki (Montgomery, 1904), comb. n. (= Lycosa pacifica Banks, 1904, SYN. N. = S. wasatchensis Chamberlin and Ivie, 1942, SYN. N).

Avicosa Chamberlin and Ivie, 1942 and Epihogna Roewer, 1960 are synonymized under Schizocosa. Fourteen of the species of Schizocosa are represented only in the southeastern United States, the northeastern U.S., and eastern Canada, or are widespread in the eastern half of the continent; three are represented only on the prairies, and the remainder in the Rockies or the Pacific coast.
