Additional information

No illustrations provided by the author.

Validity of this subspecies doubtful per Pantini & Isaia (2019).

Somewhat paler coloured specimens as Alopecosa alpicola were described by Simon (1876a: 264) from the French Alps as a local form at specific level and then downgraded to subspecies (Simon 1937: 1106, 1135). It is probably only a colour variant.
