The new genus Chicosa gen. nov. (type species: Alopecosa cinnameopilosa (Schenkel, 1963) is described and the new combination Chicosa cinnameopilosa (Schenkel, 1963), comb. nov. is made. Phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial loci do not place Chicosa cinnameopilosa into Alopecosa or the subfamily Lycosinae but rather suggest it is sister to Wadicosa Zyuzin, 1985 + Pardosa C. L. Koch, 1847. Descriptions of the new genus and known species, supplemented by photographs, a distribution map, and phylogenetic evidence, are provided.
