Abstract

A new species of the crab-spider genus Xysticus (Thomisidae), X. albertensis, is described from northern Alberta, Canada. Specimens are compared with those of three species that closely resemble them and live in the same geographical region, namely, X. chippewa Gertsch 1953, X. canadensis Gertsch 1934, and X. britcheri Gertsch 1934.
