Trochosa spinipalpis is a specialised species of Palearctic,[1] wolf spider which is restricted to bogs and other wetlands.

Two longish, dark oval stripes in anterior half of the bright median band.

[2] Palearctic but more northerly in regions where suitable wetlands exist, e.g. in Europe north of the Mediterranean zone.

Protection of wetlands from drainage and conversion to other land uses by ensuring adequate water supplies is essential to this spider's conservation.

[2] Trochosa spinipalpis is capable of biting humans, usually when handled and accidentally squeezed.
