IRAN: Khuzestan Province: Holotype male (ZMMU), Dezful, Qaleh Shadab (Shahiun), Bazargah, 32°36’N, 48°28’E, 549 m a.s.l., Alireza Zamani leg. January 2019. Paratype. 1 male (RCNS), with same data as for holotype.</p> <p>Etymology. The specific name “ martensi ” is the genitive of the family name of our colleague Prof. Dr Jochen Martens, one of the world’s leading authorities on Opiliones.</p> <p>Diagnosis. The new species has long legs, all of about the same thickness, with longitudinal rows of fairly large denticles (Figs 2A–B, D). Pedipalp slender, long, all segments only with setae (Figs 2E–F); chelicera with large rigid dorsal horn (Figs 2A–B, G–H). The penis has a thin truncus with a wide base, tapering sharply from 1/3 of the penis length (Fig. 2I); the glans is triangular in lateral view (Figs 2J–K).</p> <p>Comparative remarks. Judging from the presence of a hard dorsal horn on the second segment of the chelicera, the new species is most similar to P. savignyi Audouin, 1826 and can be distinguished by the following characteristics: longer legs (Body Leg Index = 2.13) and different shape of femur I which is cylindrical (Figs 2A–B), in contrast to the fusiform shape in P. savignyi, and especially by not having the 1st pair of legs thickened; longer and more slender palps (Figs 2E–F); different structure of the penis (Figs 2I–K). The new species is also similar to P. kopetdaghensis Tchemeris &amp; Snegovaya, 2010, but different in the following features: longitudinal rows of spiky denticles located on the legs (Fig. 2D) (vs. blunt denticles); femur I has a cylindrical shape, in contrast to the fusiform shape in P. kopetdaghensis; a rigid dorsal horn on the second segment of the chelicera (unlike the softer horn in P. kopetdaghensis) and the structure of the penis (truncus with a wide base and sharply tapering to 1/3 of its length distally), and with thinner distal part, the so-called “spoon” of the penis [i.e. upper third of the distal part (Fig. 2I)], and by having longer and thinner pedipalps (Figs 2E–F).</p> <p>Description. Male. Body length 4.7, width 3.0. Body medium-sized: coloration light brown, dorsally with dark brown saddle pattern. Transverse rows of small denticles located along boundaries of tergites (Fig. 2A). Eye mound large (length 0.6, width 0.6, height 0.45) and round, with 6–7 large black-tipped denticles and with several denticles on either sides (Fig. 2C); 3–4 teeth located in front of eye mound (Figs 2A, C). Legs long, 1st pair not thickened, femora with longitudinal rows of spiky denticles (Figs 2A–B, D). Lengths of leg segments: I - 6.4+1.3+4.6+7.0+8.7 = 28.0; II - 10.0+1.4+7.8+8.7+18.2 = 46.1; III - 6.0+1.4+4.5+7.6+10.8 = 30.3; IV - 7.7+1.5+5.6+10.2+13.6 = 38.6. Pedipalp slender, long, all segments with only setae (Figs 2E–F); segment lengths: 4.3+1.0+2.2+4.6 = 12.1. Chelicera with large horn-shaped (2.8 long), rigid dorsal outgrowth (= apophysis) on second segment; basal segment dorsally with several teeth (= acute tubercles); second segment with teeth and setae dorsally and with setae laterally (Figs 2G–H). Basal cheliceral segment 1.9 long, second segment 4.5 long. Abdomen, coxae and legs light yellow (sandy) in color. Coxae with bristles (Fig. 2B). Penis small (2.6 long), thin truncus with a wide base. Glans somewhat triangular in lateral view, with 2 pairs of distal setae (Fig. 2K). Glans 0.4 long, stylus 0.15 long. Penis light yellow (sandy) in color, with darker edging in apical part. The penis of the paratype is the same shape, color, and size as that of the holotype. The paratype also does not differ from the holotype in other features of the body.</p> <p>Female. Unknown.</p> <p>Habitat. Mountainous and sparsely vegetated, mostly with low bushes.</p> <p>Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Khuzestan Province, southwestern Iran.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/6B0C87BCFFC0C64A03D07E055AC35219	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Therefore he substituted R. pusilla for the pre-occupied R. hyrcana (Redikorzev, 1936) and he wrote (in German): One has to call the treated species “ pusilla ” because the older name of Redikorzev is pre-occupied.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/6B0C87BCFFC4C64903D07C5C5AE35799	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Šilhavý (1968) was not correct in transferring lindbergi from Euphalangium to Egaenus. The structure of the penis in this species clearly shows its affinity to the genus Euphalangium (now Homolophus, synonomized by Cokendolpher 1987). Additionally, femur IV of the male of E. oedipus has rows of strong denticles ventrally (Figs 3A–D), whereas that of H. lindbergi lacks them. Additional morphological features of this species can be seen in Figs 3A–M.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/6B0C87BCFFC5C64903D078415FCA54BD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Paratypes. 2 males, 1 juvenile (RCNS), with same data as for holotype.</p> <p>Etymology. Named after Airyaman, the Persian divinity of friendship and healing; name in the genitive case.</p> <p>Diagnosis. The new species is most similar to H. chemerisi Staręga &amp; Snegovaya, 2008, different from it by the following characteristics: smaller body size [H. chemerisi body length 5.5, width 3.2 vs. 3.4, 2.2], large group of about 30 black-tipped smaller denticles in front of the eye mound [about 15 medium-sized denticles in H. chemerisi].</p> <p>Description. Male (holotype). Body medium-sized (length 3.4, width 2.2), dorsally covered with small dark denticles, those closer to eye mound arranged in regular transverse rows, the rest scattered randomly (Fig. 4A). Eye mound low (Figs 4A–B), with 7–8 dark denticles and with a large group of black-tipped denticles anteriorly, each with a small bristle basally. Dorsal side of body sand-colored and with a slightly darker saddle pattern; limbs also sandy in color, with small darkened areas on surface. Legs long (Body Leg Index = 1.36); 1st pair considerably thickened (Fig. 4A), surface of its segments with longitudinal rows of dark teeth (Figs 4A–D). Ventral surface of metatarsi with densely packed brushes of short bristles, like those in H. chemerisi (Snegovaya &amp; Cokendolpher 2021: fig. 1E). Lengths of leg segments: I - 3.0+1.0+2.5+3.1+5.0 = 14.6; II - 7.5+1.8+6.0+5.5+13.5 = 34.3; III - 6.7+2.0+6.4+4.0+11.2 = 30.3; IV - 4.0+1.0+3.0+3.7+9.5 = 21.2. Pedipalp strong (Fig. 4F), femur ventrally and dorsally with rather large black-tipped denticles, laterally with setae; patellae dorsally and laterally with smaller black-tipped denticles; tibiae with the same kind of denticles, but laterally a stripe with only bristles; tarsi ventrally with many microdenticles and bristles. Length of pedipalp segments: 1.1+0.5+0.7+1.5 = 3.8. Chelicera mediumsized (Figs 4G–H), basal segment with a group of black-tipped denticles dorsally, second segment dorsally with black-tipped denticles and bristles on the rest of the surface. Basal segment 1.7 long, second segment 1.6 long. Penis with wide base tapering slightly towards distal end (Fig. 4I); glans massive, with one pair of setae per side (Figs 4J–L), widened distally. Total penis length 2.3, glans length 0.3, stylus length 0.1.</p> <p>Female. Unknown.</p> <p>Habitat. The type specimens were collected from a sparsely vegetated, rocky arid plain (Fig. 5).</p> <p>Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Hormozgan Province, southern Iran.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/6B0C87BCFFC5C64703D07C905AA657B5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
