MATERI XAMINED. Russia: Primorskii krai, Ussuriskii District, 2 2 km SW of Krounovka AL E vill., 43°36' N, 131°31' E, 20-27.VI 2012, 1♀, coll. M.M. Omelko ( ZMMU) GoogleMaps .

NOTES. This species was previously known from China (Zhejiang, Hunan, Guizhou and Guangxi Provinces), Japan (from Kyushu up to Honshu) and Korea ( Song et al., 1999; Yoshida & Tanikawa, 2009). The record from Primorskii krai is the northernmost in the whole range and the first record of the genus in the Asian part of Russia. This species is easily differentiated from the other mimetid genus Ero C.L. Koch, 1873 known from the Far East by having an elongate, pear-shaped carapace (egg shaped in Ero ) and the abdomen is as long as wide ( Figs 28, 29 View Figs 28 - 31 ). The shape of the epigyne of this species is also characteristic ( Figs 30, 31 View Figs 28 - 31 ). Mimetus testaceus is the second species of the genus in Russia and in the entire former Soviet Union.
