Agaue kurilensis Makarova, 1977

( Figs. 27–28 )

Type series.ɹHolotype: ˂ NSMT-Ac 14712 (1/8052).

Condition.ɹEach body part is visible, and chaetotaxies of idiosoma, gnathosoma, palps, and legs are approximately recognizable. Holotype ˂: Idiosoma length 1000, width 650; gnathosoma length 350, width 180. Idiosoma is somewhat broken.

Remarks.ɹThe specimen number given on the glass slide corresponds exactly to that in the original description by Makarova (1978). The species name on the slide is given as l Agaue aff kurilensis . z Considering that the word l aff z is clearly separated from l kurilensis z in the species name on the slide ( Fig. 27 ), it is probable that Dr. Makarova initially intended to describe this species as a subspecies of Agaue affinis Sokolov, 1962 (= Agaue parva ( Chilton, 1883)) .
