0D1636B76B995904A14B2684276A5ADB.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Epigyne of this species is similar to that of A. chagyabensis Hu & Li, 1987, a species known from Xizang Autonomous Region of China. Both species are lacking anterior hood, have base of septum width much longer than septal stem length, both have distinct copulatory opening, but can be separated by septum width / length ratio 2.5 in A. disca and 1.8 in A. chagyabensis. Two species well differ by the shape of the endogyne (compare Fig. 1 F-I and fig. 64 - 2 in Hu 2001).	en	Tang, Jia, Xu, Xiang, Yin, Haiqiang, Marusik, Yuri M., Huang, Zongguang (2020): Redescription of holotypes of four Alopecosa species (Araneae, Lycosidae) from China.
