Specimens examined – one ♀ collected and measured. Sistan and Baluchestan Province – one ♀, Zabol city (479 m aasl, 61° 28′ 37′′ E, 30° 59′ 26′′ N), on Desmostachya bipinnata L. ( Poaceae ), 6.II.2019.

World distribution – Greece, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Turkmenistan. Precise distribution in Iran is documented in Kazemi et al. (2022).

Remarks – This species was already recorded from Iran but is new for Sistan and Baluchestan Province. Morphological and morphometric characters fit well with the previous measurements published by Kolodochka (1982) in the original description, and by Kasap and Çobanoğlu (2009), Asali Fayaz et al. (2012) and Stathakis et al. (2016) for redescriptions of that species. The presently observed specimen has very short Z4 and Z5 compared to measurements provided by other authors ( Table 11).
