Remarks This re-description resembles the original description of this species from China by Fan and Yin (2000) in having same chaetotaxy for palp and legs as well as similar dorsal shields. However, it differs by: length of dorsal setae 35 to 45, median prodorsal shield almost smooth, setae h 1 is far away from anterior margin of opisthosomal shield, coxae I – IV without endopodal shields in the Iranian specimen, oppose to length of dorsal setae 23 to 31, median prodorsal shield almost stippled, seta h 1 close to anterior margin of opisthosomal shield, endopodal shields present around coxae III and IV in the Chinese specimen.
