carapace as in Fig. 76. Chelicerae with 4 promarginal teeth. Legs dark yellow; length of joints of legs I/IV 0. 50/0. 58+0. 18/0. 18+0. 38/0. 48+0. 33/0. 40+0. 30/0. 30 in male, 0. 50/ 0. 58+0. 18/0. 18+0. 38/0. 43+0. 33/0. 35+0. 28/0. 28 in female; tibial spines in female 2211, 1 d of joint, 0000 in male; Tm I - 0.40, Tm IV absent. Abdomen pale grey. Genitalia of both male and female as in Figs 77-82. Comparison. The stout and very massive cephalic elevation of the new species resem­bles some extent that of S. kawachiensis Oi, 1960, but differs in the elevation being wider and the frontal unciform apophysis of the palpal tibia devoid of an additional parabasal tooth (cp. OI 1960). The epigyne of S. ussurica sp.n., with its lateral plates regularly rounded at the inner margins, seems to be unique among the congeners. Savignya zero sp. n. (Figs 83-85) Holotype, <? - Magadan Area, middle Chelomdja River (left tributary of Taui River), VI. -VIII. 1987 (leg. ND). Description. Total length of male 1.85. Carapace brown, its length/width 0.95/0.63, its shape as in Fig. 83. Chelicerae with 4 promarginal teeth. Legs dark yellow; length of joints of legs I/IV 0. 63/0. 68+0. 18/0. 18+0. 50/0. 58+0. 45/0. 50+0. 33/0. 35; tibial spines 2211, 1/4 d of joint; Tm I - 0.47, Tm IV absent. Abdomen dark grey. Male genitalia as in Figs 84-85. Female is unknown. Comparison. By the shape of both male carapace and genitalia the new species is par­ticularly closely related to S. birostrum (Chamberlin et Ivie, 1947) and S. nenilini (Marusik, 1988), but differs from both of them by the short posterior elevation of the carapace and by the rounded frontal corner of the embolic division (cp. MARUSIK 1988 and Figs 86-87). Distribution. Siberia: northern coast of Okhotsk Sea. KEY TO THE SAVIGNYA SPECIES As it has already been mentioned earlier, we treat Savignya within the limits corre­sponding to the diagnosis given above and relying on the genital structure of both males and females. Following it, the key below must include, besides the above Siberian and Far East­ern species, also S. kawachiensis Oi, 1960 (Honshu, Japan) and S. yasudai (H. Saito, 1986), comb. nov. (Hokkaido, Japan). As soon as the synonymy Savignya = Delorrhipis has been rejected, the species S. harmsi Wunderlich, 1980, S. superstes Thaler, 1984 and S. galeri- f or mes Tanasevitch, 1987 (from mountain regions of Spain and Caucasus) are to be exclud­ed from Savignya char, em., though this does not automatically mean they all belong to De­ lorrhipis . Besides, I incorporate into the key below (as well as into the following zoogeo­graphical analysis) an undescribed Savignya sp. from Hokkaido, Japan, copies of the draw­ings of which were kindly sent to me by Dr. H, SAITO (personal letter of 15. DC. 1986). 1 (24) Males. 2 (11) Carapace with a single-cephalic elevation. 3 (6) Cephalic elevation not higher than long (in lateral view); all eyes situated on the elevation. 4 (5) Cephalic elevation considerably longer than high, highest at level of PME; frontal unciform apophysis of palpal tibia without additional parabasal tooth S. ussurica sp. n. 5 (4) Cephalic elevation as long as high, highest at level between AME and PME; frontal unciform apophysis of palpal tibia with an additional parabasal tooth S. kawachiensis Oi 6 (3) Cephalic elevation higher than long parabasally (in lateral view), carries only AME 7 (10) Palpal tibia with a single frontal unciform apophysis. 8 (9) Carapace in lateral view regularly increases in height from PME until tip of cepha­lic elevation, only the tip is pubescent ._ , „. J ' S. frontata Bl. 9 (8) Carapace in lateral view concave between PME and tip of cephalic elevation, pub­escence covers upper third of latter' s frontal surface S. basarukini sp. n.
