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 ).
