TAXONOMIC REMARKS: The new species is very similar to the Eastern Ancient Mediterranean A. caucasicus Tanasevitch, 1987, but differs well by the shape of the male carapace which resembles that of A. altissimus Simon, 1884 a, by the presence of a thick and long outgrowth on the anterior radical process in the male palp, as well as by the presence of a cotter-shaped flat elevation in the median fissure area and of the triangular posterior dorsal plate in the female (Fig. 7 cf. Fig. 8).	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V. (2013): On linyphiid spiders (Araneae) from Israel. Revue suisse de Zoologie 120 (1): 101-124, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.6118531

03A8A262FFF5FFDBFF6151BB31B6FB6A.taxon	description	DESCRIPTION: Male (holotype). Total length 2.00. Carapace unmodified, 0.88 long, 0.75 wide, yellow, with a narrow dark margin. Chelicerae 0.40 long. Legs yellow. Leg I 3.93 long (1.00 + 0.25 + 1.05 + 0.95 + 0.68), leg IV 4.11 long (1.03 + 0.25 + 1.03 + 1.05 + 0.75). Chaetotaxy: Ti I: 2 - 1 - 1 - 0, II: 2 - 0 - 1 - 0, III-IV: 2 - 0 - 0 - 0; Mt I-III: 1 - 0 - 0 - 0, IV: 0 - 0 - 0 - 0. TmI 0.17. Palp as in Figs 17 - 21: cymbium without posterodorsal outgrowth. Paracymbium U-shaped, with two well-sclerotized teeth of different size. Radix with a spear-shaped outgrowth at base of lamella characteristica. Lamella characteristica relatively short and wide, with a hollow apically. Terminal apophysis unipartite, long and narrow. Embolus with a thick embolus proper and a small thumb, carina narrow. Fickert’s gland spherical. Abdomen 1.00 long, 0.68 wide, pale grey. Female (from Adullam). Total length 2.15. Carapace unmodified, 0.83 long, 0.68 wide. Chelicerae 0.33 long. Leg I 3.88 long (1.05 + 0.30 + 1.00 + 0.90 + 0.63), leg IV 3.78 long (1.05 + 0.25 + 0.98 + 0.90 + 0.60). TmI 0.18. Epigyne as in Figs 22 - 23: proscape circle-shaped, distal part of scape very wide, stretcher reduced, a pit situated at the end of distal part of scape. TAXONOMIC REMARKS: This species is similar to the Anatolian I. turok Tanasevitch, 2011 (known from the male only), in particular in the presence of a spearshaped outgrowth on the radix near the base of the lamella characteristica. The new species differs clearly from I. turok by the peculiar shape of the lamella characteristica and the larger proximal teeth on the paracymbium.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V.
