Comparison: The new species is particularly closely related to D. rostratus Schenkel, 1934, but differs from it by the better rounded cephalic elevation of the male carapace, retorted apex of the palpal tibia, longer and more pointed suprategular apophysis, more distinct rims along inner edge of the epigynal lateral plates (cp. THALER 1970). Distribution: Mountain regions of Eastern Siberia; Putorana Plateau, Cherskogo and Dzhugdzhur Mt. Ridges. Diplocephalus sphagnicolus sp.n.

DÍ. 1987 (leg. YM); 2 o. - environs of Magadan, Hertner Bay, Nyuklya, Sphagnum and Polytrichum hillocks on maritime terrace, 3. V. 1986 (leg. YM). Description. Total length of male/female 2. 15-2.25/2.18-2.25. Carapace light brown, its length/width 0. 88-0. 90/0. 70-0. 73 in male, 0. 88-0. 90/0. 70-0. 75 in female; male carapace as in Fig. 32. Chelicerae with 4 promarginal teeth. Legs darkyellow; length of joints of legs I/IV 0. 63/0. 70+0. 20/0. 20 + 0. 48/0. 60+0. 40/0. 50+0. 35/0. 38 in male, 0. 73/0. 78+0. 23/ 0. 23+0. 60/0. 70 + 0. 53/0. 55+0. 40/0. 40 in female; tibial spines 2211, 1 1/3 d of joint in female, 3/5 d of joint in male; Tm I - 0.42, Tm IV absent. Abdomen light grey. Genitalia of both male and female as in Figs 33-37. Comparison. The male of the new species is very close to D. cristatus (Blackwall, 1833),, but differs by the more elongated palpal tibia and narrower, unciform, frontal apophysis of the embolic division (cp. WIEHLE 19 60). By the shape of the epigyne the new species resembles D. caucasicus Tanasevitch, 1987, but differs in having well-curved receptacles (cp. TANASEVITCH 1987). Distribution. Siberia: Putorana Plateau, Middle-Siberian Tableland, upper Kolyma River and northern coast of Okhotsk Sea.
