A. Senglet [7332].</p> <p>PARATYPES: MNHG (without registration number); 2 ♀, same locality and date as for holotype.</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY: The specific name, an adjective, is derived from the name of the country of origin.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>DESCRIPTION: Male. Total length 1.77. Carapace 0.75 long, 0.55 wide, brown, with a thin black margin. Chelicerae 0.32 long. Legs yellow to pale brown. Leg I 2.79 long (0.75+0.20+0.70+0.67+0.47), IV 2.86 long (0.77+0.20+0.72+0.65+0.52). Chaetotaxy: All tibiae with two dorsal spines only. Metatarsi spineless. TmI 0.26. Metatarsus IV without trichobothrium. Palp (Figs 1-6): Palpal tibia with two small outgrowths retrolaterally. Cymbium without posterodorsal outgrowth. Posterior and anterior pockets of paracymbium poorly expressed. Lamella characteristica like a narrow band with a hook apically. Embolus with a long tooth basally. Abdomen 1.00 long, 0.70 wide, pale grey.</p> <p>Female. Total length 1.90. Carapace 0.75 long, 0.52 wide. Chelicerae 0.30 long, unmodified. Leg I 2.42 long (0.70+0.20+0.62+0.58+0.32), IV 2.46 long (0.72+0.20+0.62+0.60+0.32). TmI 0.22. Abdomen 1.20 long, 0.80 wide. Epigyne (Fig. 7): Proscape slightly narrowed basally. Entrance ducts very wide, well translucent through proscape. Lateral lobes of scape well-developed. Body and leg coloration, as well as chaetotaxy, as in male.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>DISTRIBUTION: Known from the type locality only.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AB51879BD171E277FF5EE780FD1539E9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
