Material examined. FINLAND: 1♀ ( ZMUT), Meltaus, indoors, 30.06.1973 (K. Suormala). RUSSIA: Novosibirsk Area: 5♀ ( ISEA), Toguchin Dist., 5–7 km SW of Lebedevo Vil., ca. 54°54’N, 84°18’E, steppe on slope, 25–350 m, 22– 25.07.1996 (D.V. Logunov). Khabarovsk Province: 1♀ ( IBPN), Shantar Islands, 2003 (M. Skopets).

Comments. This species is listed in Platnick (2014) as having a Palaearctic range; however, the easternmost records lie in Cisbaikalia ( Ovtsharenko et al. 1992; Izmailova 1989). These records are based on females only. The other previously known record in Asia lies 2000 km west of Cisbaikalia near Omsk ( Ovtsharenko et al. 1992). The present record from the Novosibirsk area is also far away from Cisbaikalia (over 1300 km). Figures of specimens found in Xinjiang ( Zhao 1993), undoubtedly refer to Gnaphosa licenti Schenkel, 1963 . Specimens from Shantar Islands ( Figs 42–43 View FIGURES 42 – 45 ) and the Novosibirsk Area have no significant differences with those from Finland ( Figs 44–45 View FIGURES 42 – 45 ). It appears that Gnaphosa montana has Palaearctic disjunctive range and occurs across Europe, with isolated populations present in West Siberia, Cisbaikalia and on the Shantar Islands.
