Type material.
Holotype ♂ and paratype ♂ (MHNG), Iran: Kermanshah Province: Mahi Dasht, 34°14'N, 46°42'E, 29.06.1974 (A. Senglet).
Etymology.
The specific epithet is a Kurdish feminine name, meaning "bright like the moon". Noun in apposition.
Diagnosis.
The new species is very similar to A. diara sp. nov. by the shape of the RTA, the ventral tibial apophysis and the curvature of the embolus but differs by the shape of the median apophysis (cf. Fig. 20D View Figure 20 and 20J View Figure 20 ) and the conductor lacking a small retrolateral indentation apically (vs. present).

Eye sizes and interdistance of PMEs: AME: 0.12, ALE: 0.10, PME: 0.07, PLE: 0.08, PME-PME: 0.12. Carapace, sternum, labium, chelicerae and maxillae brown; carapace with irregular patterns.
