Materials Examined
Type series.Holotype: female, Karimabad (Jiroft-Kerman province, Iran), xii.1.2010, S. Farzan, ex Convolvulus polygonum (Convolvulaceae) (SBUC). Paratypes: four females, same data as holotype (3SBUC; 1PPRIC).
Diagnosis
Diagnosis. Adult female: Opisthosoma with 13 pairs of dorsal setae (f 2 present). Anterior margin of prodorsal shield with a deeply notched median projection. Dorsal shields completely covered in polygonal reticulation, becoming elongate dorsomedially on prodorsum. Dorsal setae palmate with radiating striae. Femora I–III and genua I–II with broad palmate dorsal setae. Tarsal claws uncinate. Spermatheca long (200 μm) and terminating in an obvious membranous bulb. Palp (from tarsus to trochanter): 3 (1 s+ 2 e)- 2 - 0-1 -0.
Description
Description. Female: Length of body (v 2 –h 1) 247–251, width (sc 2 –sc 2) 132 –135. Dorsum (Fig. 1): Body oval, dorsal shields completely covered in polygonal reticulation, becoming elongate dorsomedially on prodorsum. Anterior margin of prodorsum with a deeply notched medial projection; prodorsum bearing three pairs of setae, v 1, sc 1, sc 2 and two pairs of eyes; opisthosoma with 13 pairs of setae, all dorsal setae palmate, subequal in length (11–15 long, 9–13 wide), smooth, with radiating fine ridges.
