Acantholycosa Dahl, 1908 is relatively large genus of wolf spiders with 28 named species and one subspecies (World Spider Catalog 2016) distributed in the Holarctic, though the majority of its species (24) is known from Russia. Although the genus is well studied due to several revisions (Marusik et al. 2004; Marusik & Omelko 2011; Omelko et al. 2016), its real species diversity remains unknown. A recent study of the collections of the Zoological Museum of Moscow State University revealed one undescribed species from Khabarovsk Province of Russia, belonging to the A. baltoroi-group of species. The main goals of this publications are the description of this new species and the proposition of an identification key to males of the A. baltoroi-group. Specimens were photographed using a Nikon DS-Ri2 camera attached to a Nikon SMZ25 stereomicroscope at the laboratory "Biology of marine invertebrates" of Far Eastern Federal University. Photographs were taken from specimens in dishes with ethanol and paraffin at the bottom. Holes of different sizes were made in the paraffin to keep the specimens or their parts in the appropriate position. Stacking of images was performed by using Zerene Stacker software (http:// zerenesystems.com/cms/stacker). All measurements are in millimetres. The holotype male is deposited at the Zoological Museum of the Moscow State University (ZMMU).
