Species of the spider family Zodariidae occurring in Iran
and Turkmenistan are reviewed. Seventeen species of three subfamilies are
described as new to science: Lachesana kavirensis sp. nov. (♂,
Qom; northern Iran), L. perseus sp. nov. (♂, Alborz; northern Iran)
(Lachesaninae), Pax ellipita sp. nov. (♂♀, Kermanshah and Lorestan;
western Iran), P. leila sp. nov. (♂♀, Fars; southwestern Iran)
(Storeninae), Acanthinozodium armita sp. nov. (♂, Tehran; northern Iran), A.
atrisa sp. nov. (♂♀, Qazvin and Tehran; northern
Iran), A. diara sp. nov. (♂, Ilam and Lorestan; western
Iran), A. dorsa sp. nov. (♂♀, Fars; southern Iran), A.
elburzicum sp. nov. (♂♀, Tehran; northern Iran), A.
kiana sp. nov. (♂, Kurdistan; western Iran), A.
masa sp. nov. (♂, Kermanshah; western Iran), A.
niusha sp. nov. (♂♀, Fars, Isfahan and Markazi;
central Iran), A. ovtchinnikovi sp. nov. (♂, Mary; southeastern
Turkmenistan), A. parmida sp. nov. (♂, Isfahan; central Iran), A.
parysatis sp. nov. (♂♀, Ardabil and Qazvin; northern
and northwestern Iran), A. sorani sp. nov. (♂, East Azerbaijan and
Kurdistan; northwestern and western Iran) and Trygetus susianus sp. nov. (♀,
Khuzestan; southwestern Iran) (Zodariinae). Zodariellum Andreeva &
Tyshchenko, 1968, currently comprising only the type species (Z. surprisum
Andreeva & Tyshchenko, 1968) is rediagnosed, with the following species
being (re)transferred to it: Z. asiaticum (Tyshchenko, 1970) comb. res., Z.
bactrianum (Kroneberg, 1875) comb. nov., Z. bekuzini (Nenilin, 1985) comb.
res., Z. chaoyangense (Zhu & Zhu, 1983) comb. res., Z. continentalis
(Andreeva & Tyshchenko, 1968) comb. res., Z. furcum (Zhu, 1988) comb. res.,
Z. mongolicum Marusik & Koponen, 2001 comb. res., Z. proszynskii
(Nenilin & Fet, 1985) comb. res., Z. nenilini (Eskov, 1996) comb. res., Z.
surprisum Andreeva & Tyshchenko, 1968 comb. res., Z. schmidti Marusik
& Koponen, 2001 comb. res., Z. sytchevskajae (Nenilin & Fet, 1985)
comb. res. and Z. volgouralensis Ponomarev, 2007 comb. res. (all ex.
Zodarion); out of these, Z. proszynskii Nenilin & Fet, 1985, previously
known only from the type locality in Turkmenistan, is recorded from
northeastern Iran for the first time. This paper raises the number of zodariids
known from Iran to 22 species from seven genera (including the first Iranian
records of Acanthinozodium Denis, 1966, Pax Levy, 1990 and Zodariellum) and
those known from Turkmenistan to five species from five genera (including the
first record of Acanthinozodium from this country). Regional distribution
records of all species are mapped.
