Comments. Trochosa impercussa was described based on the holotype female from Sabzawaran City (=Jiroft, 28°40’13.080”N 57°44’12.840”E). The holotype studied exhibited no differences from Arctosa tbilisiensis, a species known from Greece to Azerbaijan and south to Iran. This species is thoroughly described by Alderweireldt (2002). The record from Jiroft (Iran) is the southeasternmost in the range. Written description, illustration of habitus and epigyne illustrations of Trochosula afghana Roewer, 1960 fit well with those in A. tbilisiensis, and therefore the two names are to be synonymized with A. tbilisiensis .
