Abstract
The following 7 Japanese species of the genus Trochosa are dealt with: Trochosa terricola THORELL, T. ruricola (De GEER), T. aquatica TANAKA, T. robusta (SIMON), T. spinipalpis (F. CAMBRIDGE), T. joshidana (KISHIDA), and T. vulvella (STRAND). Among them, 5 species are herein redescribed in detail with notes on their biology and a key to them is provided. But the two species, T. joshidana and T. vulvella, are excluded from the redescriptions, because I have been unable to examine them until now.
