Biology:Aulonia

From HandWiki

Aulonia is a genus of wolf spiders, family Lycosidae, first described as a subgenus by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1847.[1] Its species are native from Europe to Central Asia.[2]

Taxonomy

In 1847, Carl Ludwig Koch created a subgenus of Lycosa, Lycosa (Aulonia), with the species Lycosa albimana.[1][note 1] In 1870, Tamerlan Thorell explicitly synonymized Koch's Lycosa subgenus Aulonia with the genus Aulonia, giving the type species as A. albimana.[3] This treatment was followed in 1876 by Eugène Simon.[4]

Species

As of October 2025, this genus included two species:[2]

Notes

  1. However, on page 16 of the index, published in 1851, Koch uses the name "Aulonia albimana" rather than "Lycosa (Aulonia) albimana".[2]
