AB51879BD171E277FF5EE780FD1539E9.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS: The new species can be easily distinguished by the peculiar shape of the lamella characteristica, by the presence of a strong tooth at the base of the embolus in male, as well as by the much wider entrance ducts, which are well translucent through the proscape in the female.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei, V.

AB51879BD171E277FF5EE780FD1539E9.taxon	discussion	TAXONOMIC REMARKS: The new species seems to be most similar to the Turkmenian-Iranian Agyneta kopetdaghensis Tanasevitch, 1989, originally described from Kopet Dagh Mts, Turkmenistan (Tanasevitch, 1989), but differs clearly by the shape of the distal part of the lamella characteristica, which is claw-shaped in A. iranica sp. n., versus circular saw-like in A. kopetdaghensis. The female of the new species differs from that of A. kopetdaghensis by the much wider entrance ducts of the epigyne, well translucent through the proscape.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei, V.
