ABSTRACT. Tenuiphantes lagonaki sp.n. (?) is described from the mountains of the northern Caucasus, Adygea. The new species is most similar to the Anatolian T. wunderlichi Saaristo et Tanasevitch, 1996, from which it readily differs in the shape of the lamella characteristica and the toothless embolic base.
