Notes. I do not provide a redescription here because this species was well illustrated recently (see references above). A single male collected in Champasak Province is noticeably larger than those from Vientiane Province and its palp structure is slightly different. There is a possibility that it represents an undescribed Trochosa species. Figs. 27, 29–30 View Figs show a typical male of T. ruricoloides from Vientiane Province.

Distribution. India, China (Hainan, Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Tibet, Shaanxi), Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Laos (new record; Figs. 52–53 View Figs ).
