Moneta caudifer: Zhu, 1998: 280 , figs 188A-E (♂♀); Yoshida, 2009a: 367, figs 107-109 (♂♀).

MATERIAL EXAMINED. Russia: Primorskii krai, Shkotovskii District, slope of Falaza Mt. , 43°6' N, 132°47' E, 17-22.VI 2015, 1♂, 1♀, coll. M.M. Omelko ( ZMMU) GoogleMaps .

NOTES. This species previously was known from China (Jiangxi and Shanxi provinces), Korea and all of Japan ( Song et al., 1999; Yoshida, 2009a). The record from Primorskii krai is the northernmost in the whole range and the first record for Russia. Moneta caudifera can be easily recognized by the pentagonal abdomen of the female with distinct humps directed laterally ( Fig. 45 View Figs 43 – 49 ) and the flat abdomen of the male ( Fig. 44 View Figs 43 – 49 ). The male palp ( Figs 46–48 View Figs 43 – 49 ) and epigyne ( Fig. 49 View Figs 43 – 49 ) are also characteristic and not similar to any other species occurring in the Russian Far East.
