ABSTRACT. Study of the paratypes of Pirata shibatai Tanaka, 1995 syn.n. from Hokkaido, Japan revealed that it is a junior synonym of P. praedo Kulczy?ski, 1885 described from Kamchatka and known throughout the whole of Siberia and the Russian Far East. Trochosa dybowskii Kulczy?ski, 1885 syn.n. described and known only from Kamchatka is synonymized with the circum-Holarctic Trochosa terricola Thorell, 1856. The genus Piratosa Roewer, 1960 syn.n. (type species Trochosa dybowskii Kulczy?ski, 1885) is synonymized with Trochosa C.L. Koch, 1847. Two new combinations are established: Arctosa lawrencei (Roewer, 1960) comb.n. and A. bicoloripes (Roewer, 1960) comb.n. both ex. Piratosa.
