Aulonia is a genus of wolf spiders, family Lycosidae, first described as a subgenus by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1847. [3] Its species are native from Europe to Central Asia. [1]

Taxonomy

In 1847, Carl Ludwig Koch created a subgenus of Lycosa , Lycosa (Aulonia), with the species Lycosa albimana. [3] [note 1] In 1870, Tamerlan Thorell explicitly synonymized Koch's Lycosa subgenus Aulonia with the genus Aulonia, giving the type species as A. albimana. [2] This treatment was followed in 1876 by Eugène Simon. [4]

Species

As of October 2025, this genus included two species: [1]

Notes

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