Familia: Zodariidae
Genus: Trygetus
Name
Trygetus susianus Zamani & Marusik, 2021 sp. nov. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
- Trygetus jacksoni : Zamani et al. 2018[1]: 188 (♀, misidentified).
Type material
Holotype ♀ (MHNG), Iran: Khuzestan Province: north of Andimeshk, 32°41'N, 48°15'E, 17.05.1974 (A. Senglet).
Etymology
This species is named after Susa, one of the most important cities of the Ancient Near East. It is located in the lower Zagros Mountains, about 250 km east of the Tigris River, between the Karkheh and Dez Rivers, in what is currently the Khuzestan Province of Iran.
Diagnosis
The epigyne of the new species is very similar to that of T. gromovi. They differ by the presence of a lateral extension of the receptacle and the lack of sclerotized lateral margins in the new species (vs. absent and present, respectively).
Description
Female (specimen partially bleached). Habitus as in Fig. 26D. Total length 2.07. Carapace 0.96 long, 0.53 wide at pars cephalica, 0.69 wide at pars thoracica. Eye sizes: AME: 0.08, ALE: 0.05, PLE: 0.04. Carapace, sternum, labium, chelicerae and maxillae yellowish brown, without any pattern. Legs slightly lighter than carapace, without spines and without annulations. Abdomen grayish, darker dorsally. Spinnerets pale, uniform in color.

Epigyne as in Fig. 27E–H. Epigyne medially with posteriorly diverging sclerotization, laterally with translucent fertilization ducts; receptacles almost round, separated by less than their diameters, each subdivided into a large, weakly sclerotized part and a smaller, more heavily sclerotized part. Male. Unknown.
Distribution
Known from two localities in Khuzestan Province, southwestern Iran (Fig. 32).
