Plexippus iranus Logunov, 2009c: 908 View in CoL , f. 18-19 (Df).

Material. Holotype female from Iran: Bandar-e Abbas. Leg. Bilek & Ressl. Coll. NH Museum, Wien.

Documentation studied. Summary of world's literature provided by "Monograph of Salticidae ( Araneae ) of the World 1995-2016. Part I & 2" by Prószyński (2016 a, b) and current literature.

Comment. According to Logunov the holotype is lacking external epigynal pocket and furrow ( Figs 6 D- D1), which is main diagnostic character of the genus, similarity of spermathecae and ducts alone are less important because these structures can develop independently in non related genera. If that epigynal pocket is not overlooked during study and its absence is real, the species cannot be placed in the genus Plexippus and should be reclassified elsewhere.
