Introduction lected in Russia and adjacent territories (Central Asia), as well as in Iran, Hun Phlegra is a salticid genus comprising gary, Romania aund Spain. A total of 259 more than 60 species (PR6sZYNSK I, specimens of Phlegra has been studied. 2000), of which a half if known from Specimens for this study were borro single sexes only and usually (or often) wed or distributed among the following pose problems in their identificati ons. museums: - ISEA : Siberian Zoological For instance, LOGUNOV (1996) descri Museum of the Institute for Systematic bed two morphs (A and B) for Phlegra and Ecology of Animals, Novosibirsk, fuscipes, of which the morph A was later Russia (Ms G .A. Azarkina). - IZW : Ins assigned to P. cinereofasciata (see LOGU titute of Zoology PAN, Warszawa, Poland NOV & RAKov, ] 998). However, LOGU (Prof. J. Pr6szynski). - NMP: National NOV and MARUS IK (2000b) have recently Museum Praha, Praha, Czech Republic assumed that P. fuscipes might proven to (Prof. J. Buchar). - HMNH : Hungarian be a junior synonym of P. cinereofas Museum of Natural History, Budapest, ciata, while a taxonomic status of the Hungary (Dr. S. Mahunka). - MMUM: morph B of P. fuscipes remains unclear. The Manchester Museum, The University I re-examined most of the material of Manchester, Manchester, UK (Dr. D.V hitherto determined as either P. fuscipes Logunov). - PSU : Zoological Depart or P. cinereofasciata, including the syn ment of the Perm State University, Perm, types of the forme species, and arrived at Russia (Dr. S.Yu. Esyunin). - SMF: the conclusion that both names are to be Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt am synonymized. Moreover, the material on Main, Germany (Dr. M. Grasshoff). the morph B of P. fuscipes (sensu LOGU ZISP : Zoological Institute of the Russian NOV, 1996) turned out to be heteroge Academy of Science, St. Petersburg, Rus neous and are to be assigned to the three sia (Dr. VA. Krivokhatskii). ZMMU : closely related species described here Zoological Museum of the Moscow State inafter : P. kulczynskii sp. nov., P. bico University, Moscow, Russia (Dr. K.G. gnata sp. nov., and P. obscurimagna sp.
