Aulonia is a genus of wolf spiders, family Lycosidae, first described as a subgenus by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1847. Its species are native from Europe to Central Asia.
Taxonomy In 1847, Carl Ludwig Koch created a subgenus of Lycosa, Lycosa (Aulonia), with the species Lycosa albimana. In 1870, Tamerlan Thorell explicitly synonymized Koch's Lycosa subgenus Aulonia with the genus Aulonia, giving the type species as A. albimana. This treatment was followed in 1876 by Eugène Simon.
Species , this genus included two species:
Aulonia albimana (Walckenaer, 1805) – Europe, Turkey, Caucasus (type species) Aulonia kratochvili Dunin, Buchar & Absolon, 1986 – Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Israel, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan
