Dingosa persica Roewer, 1955a: 762, fig. 11 (♀).

Trochosa persica: Mozaffarian & Marusik 2001: 70; Framenau & Baehr 2007: 1626.

Type: holotype ♀ (SMF), “Arachn. Coll. Rwr. -Lfd. No.10467, No.469, Typ., Iran: Lahidschan”, F. Starmuhlner leg., examined .

Other material examined: IRAN: 2♀ (ZMUT), Khuzestan, #2251, Abadam-B-Emam, 12 KE Abadam Rd., 29.03.1999 (K. Elmi) ; 1♀ (ZMUT), #475, collecting locality and collector unknown .

Comment. This species was transferred from Dingosa Roewer, 1955, a genus known from Australia, to Trochosa (Mozaffarian & Marusik, 2001) because the epigyne drawn by Roewer (1955a: fig. 11) corresponds well to Trochosa . Examination of the type revealed that the epigyne was inaccurately drawn (cf. Figs. 13B and 13C) and that the holotype female has a pattern typical to Pardosa s.l. Judging from the epigyne, it may belong to the Pardosa nebulosa -group. This group was once considered a separate genus, Acroniops Simon, 1898, currently a junior synonym of Pardosa C.L. Koch, 1847 . The new combination provided for Roewer’s species led to secondary homonymy with Pardosa persica Marusik, Ballarin & Omelko, 2012, the species belonging to the Pardosa monticola - group that was also once considered a separate genus, Pardosops Roewer, 1955 . In any case, we herein replace the secondary junior homonym with P. persiana nom. n. (pro Pardosa persica Marusik, Ballarin & Omelko, 2012).
