Type material
Holotype ♂ (MHNG), Iran: Kurdistan Province: Santeh, 36°11'N, 46°32'E, 23.06.1975 (A. Senglet). Paratypes: 6♂ (MHNG), Marivan, 5.2017 (A. Zamani); East Azerbaijan Province: 2♂ (MHNG), north of Bonati, 37°26'N, 45°57'E, 04.06.1975 (A. Senglet).
Etymology
The specific epithet refers to a dialect or a language of the Kurdish languages that is spoken in Iraq, mainly in Iraqi Kurdistan, as well as the Kurdistan Province, Kermanshah Province, and West Azerbaijan Province of western Iran. Noun in apposition.
Diagnosis
The new species is most similar to A. atrisa sp. nov. but differs by embolic anterior process which is spine-like and thinner than the embolus proper in A. sorani sp. nov. (vs. broad) and also by the relative length of the RTA, longer than bulb in A. sorani sp. nov. (vs. shorter).

Eye sizes and interdistance of PMEs: AME: 0.09, ALE: 0.07, PME: 0.06, PLE: 0.06, PME–PME: 0.12. Carapace, sternum, labium, chelicerae and maxillae yellowish brown; carapace with irregular dark patterns. Chelicera with one retromarginal tooth.
