03E7AC49FFE7FF9C82A4A211FAE6FC23.taxon	discussion	Comment: The Iraqi records of H. pisaurina by Tikader & Malhotra (1980) and Najim et al. (2019) and that of H. cinerea by Najim & Al-Hadlag (2022) are herein attributed to H. deserticola, a species previously reported not far from the Iraqi border in Iran. It has already been suggested by Marusik & Nadolny (2021) that H. pisaurina should most likely be synonymized with H. deserticola due to their almost identical conformation of the epigyne and vulva; also, the range of H. pisaurina (even if it remains a valid species) is otherwise restricted to South Asia. Hippasa cinerea is a junior synonym of H. partita (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1876), a species unknown outside of Africa.	en	Al-Khazali, Azhar Mohammed, Kachel, Hamid Saeid, Zamani, Alireza, Hussen, Fenik Sherzad (2023): An updated and annotated checklist of the spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) of Iraq.

03E7AC49FFECFF9782A4A5B9FD7AF898.taxon	discussion	Comment: The Iraqi record of L. scelio by Abdul-Rassoul et al. (2012) and that of L. hasselti by Al-Hadlag & Najim (2015) were attributed to L. renivulvatus by Zamani & El-Hennawy (2016). By the colouration and pattern, the reported Iraqi populations are very similar to those reported as L. cinctus from Iran (Zamani et al. 2014). Most likely, they represent the same species, a matter which should be investigated ideally using integrative methods. For now, we tentatively assign these records to L. cinctus.	en	Al-Khazali, Azhar Mohammed, Kachel, Hamid Saeid, Zamani, Alireza, Hussen, Fenik Sherzad (2023): An updated and annotated checklist of the spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) of Iraq.
