Abstract

The genus Alopecosa Simon is revised for North America. A general description for the group is given, and a key to species is presented. Seven species are represented in North America: A. aculeata (Clerck, 1757) from Alaska to Newfoundland and southward to Arizona; A. kochi (Keyserling, 1877) (= Tarentula gertschi Schenkel, 1951 syn. n., = Lycosa jollensis Schenkel, 1951 syn. n.) from southern B.C., southern Ontario, and western and northern U.S.A.; A. pulverulenta (Clerck, 1757) (= Tarentula aquilonaris Fox, 1940 syn. n.), recorded from the Nearctic on the basis of a female from Attu Island, Alaska; A. exasperans (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1877) from the Canadian Arctic islands; A. mutabilis (Kulczynski, 1908) from northern Alaska; A. pictilis (Emerton, 1885) from Alaska to Labrador and New Hampshire; and A. hirtipes (Kulczynski, 1907) (= Tarentula hirta Kulczynski, 1908, syn. n., = Lycosa asivak Emerton, 1919, syn. n., = Tarentula hamiltoni Chamberlin & Ivie, 1947, syn. n.) from Alaska to northern Quebec.
