Diagnosis
DIAGNOSIS. The new species is most similar to the group of species distributed to the East of the Urals: A. maculata L. Koch 1879, A. ornata (Banks 1892) and A. mongolica Schenkel, 1936. From the former species, A. makarovae differs in the smaller body size, the shape of the embolic base (triangle in A. maculata) and the wider epigynal fovea. From two other species, the male of new species can be distinguished by the embolic shape, which is characterized by the more narrow, not rounded base and the short- er, not ring-shaped apical part; the female can be distinguished by the median position of the epigynal pockets and the divergent endogynal ducts (two other species have the pockets at the forepart of epigyne and the connivent endogynal ducts).
By general appearance, the new species resembles species of Scotina, particularly those of Scotina celans (Blackwall, 1841), but clearly differs from it by the leg spination (the genus Scotina is characterized by numerous spines of metatarsi, 6 to 13, and tibiae, 6 to 22; see Grimm & Vilbel, 1986).
Description
DESCRIPTION. Male. Body yellow-grey, 4.6 (4.5—4.7) long. Carapace 2.8 (2.7—2.9) long, 2.1 wide, with the pattern of dark spots, with radial lines from the fovea to margins, and with thin black edging. Abdomen with dark spots dorsally. Tibia and metatarsus I with two pairs of ventral setae. Leg formula: 4123. Leg measurements see in the Table.

Palp apically with the embolus (Fig. 2). The embolic base placoid, with lateral knob; embolic tip thin and intort- ed. Tibial apophysis tabulate and strong, becoming thinner in the apical half and in its tip (Fig. 2). Female. Body 6.7 (6.2—7.1) long. Proportions of the carapace and the coloration as in male. Leg measurements see in the Table. Epigyne narrow-triangulate (Fig. 3). The epigynal pockets are situated medially. Spermathecae Sshaped, diverge from the medial line of the epigyne (Fig. 4).
Etymology
ETYMOLOGY. The species is named after Dr. Olga L. Makarova (Moscow, Russia), who collected a part of the type series of this species from the North Urals.
