Type material.
Holotype ♂ (NHMW), Iran: Kerman Province: SE of Sirjan, 6.1972 (G. Pretzmann).
Etymology.
The specific epithet is a Persian feminine given name meaning “glowing”.
Diagnosis.
The new species is most similar to Z. borna sp. nov. and can be distinguished by the RTA shorter than ½ of the cymbium’s length (vs longer), the more deeply bifurcated RTA (cf. Fig. 6D and B View Figure 6 ), relatively longer palpal tibia (2 times shorter than cymbium vs 4 times shorter), and the shape of the bulb. The two species differ also by the shape of the sperm duct and tegular apophysis (cf. Fig. 6C and A View Figure 6 ).

Male. Habitus as in Figure 4B View Figure 4 . Total length 4.93. Carapace 2.20 long, 1.63 wide. Eye sizes: AME: 0.10, ALE: 0.09, PME: 0.10, PLE: 0.08. Carapace, labium, chelicera, maxilla and sternum light brown, without any pattern. Legs yellowish-brown, without annulations. Abdomen cream-colored, with a tuft of dark brown long setae anteriorly and sparse lighter setae; ventrally with distinct tracheal marks. Spinnerets unicolourous.
