"Alopecosa huabanna" is a species of wolf spider found in Inner Mongolia in the People's Republic of China. The female has a length (excluding legs) of about 10 mm, the male being smaller at around 8 mm. Both sexes are generally dark brown with a longitudinal yellow band along the back of the carapace and abdomen, which distinctively has 4 paired branches towards the back of the abdomen. The male has much hairier legs than the female.

It is similar to "Alopecosa ovalis" and several other species.

The species name refers to the dorsal abdominal band pattern. It is derived from the Chinese phonetic alphabet.clarifyme
