Drassodes breviceps Kroneberg, D. sollers Simon, and D. vinosus Simon are transferred to Parasyrisca. Two specific names are newly synonymized: P. minor (Schenkel) and P. lugubris (Schenkel), both with P. potanini Schenkel. Thirty-eight new species are described: altaica (Kazakhstan), alai, koksu, kurgan, kyzylart, otmek, susamyr, and terskei (Kirgizstan), narynica (Kirgizstan and Tadjikistan), heimeri and khubsugul (Mongolia), asiatica and ulykpani (Mongolia and Russia), alexeevi, balcarica, belengish, belukha, birikchul, caucasica, guzeripli, hippai, holmi, Iogunovi, mikhailovi, and tyshchenkoi (Russia), andarbag, andreevae, anzobica, chikatunovi, gissarika, iskander, paironica, pamirica, pshartica, shakhristanica, vakhanski, and vorobica (Tadjikistan), and turkenica (Turkey).
