No precise data: numerous males and females have been collected on five Kuril Islands: Kunashir, Iturup, Urup, Chirpoi and Paramushir.
Diagnosis
The species differs distinctly from Xerolycosa mongolica by the pattern of its carapace, having longitudinal bands and stripes, and by having the anterior median eyes situated more closely together (less than one diameter of AME, more than one diameter in Xerolycosa mongolica). From Xerolycosa miniata, males can be distinguished by their longer seminal duct, rounded embolus, the sharply pointed process of the tegular apophysis and by the proportions of the epigyne (windows wider than high, whereas in Xerolycosa miniata they are higher than wide). Xerolycosa nemoralis females possess 2 retrolateral spines on femur I whereas the other species have only 2 prolateral spines.
Description
Male. Total length 6.0 (5.5–6.8). Carapace: 2.9 (2.75–2.9) long, 2.0 (1.9–2.0) wide. Carapace length/femur IV ratio 1.23 (1.12–1.23). Habitus and pattern as in Fig. 4. Palp as in Figs 14–17, 24–26, tip of cymbium with poorly developed spines, upper part of tegular apophysis with bill-shaped extension, embolus relatively thick, free part (=embolus proper) bent, tip modified. {| class="wikitable" ; style="width: 100%" |+ Length of leg segments: |- ! !! femur !! patella !! tibia !! metatarsus !! tarsus !!

Comments
Judging from the figures, the record of Xerolycosa nemoralis by Yin et al. (1997: f. 3a-d) from China refers to another species and even a different genus.
Distribution
Xerolycosa nemoralis has a trans-Palaearctic boreo-nemoral range (Marusik et al. 2000[13]) and occurs from the Iberian Peninsula to Kamchatka and the North Kuril Islands, north to the Polar Circle in Lapland and to central Yakutia, south to Azerbaijan and Honshu.
