03BAC1175F6DE720B54CFF46C316AE11.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is closely related to H. afghanica Roewer, 1960 from Afghanistan, from which it can be distinguished by a much narrower septum (septum as wide as lateral arms of median plate in H. afghanica) and the position of the upper loop of the duct on the inner ventral wall of the receptacle and its different shape (duct located on the upper side of the receptacle in H. afghanica).	en	Zamani, Alireza, Mirshamsi, Omid, Marusik, Yuri M.

03BAC1175F6DE720B54CFF46C316AE11.taxon	discussion	Comments. There is a minor difference in the epigynes of the two examined specimens: the lower epigynal margin is straight in the Kerman specimen (Figures 4 A and 4 B), while it is slightly convex in the specimen from Isfahan (Figures 4 C and 4 D); to us, it seems like an intraspecific variation, but findings of more specimens and especially males is necessary to confirm this.
