Type material.
Holotype ♂ (NHMW), Iran: Hormozgan Province: 40 km NW of Bandar Abbas, 7.4.1972 (G. Pretzmann).
Etymology.
The specific epithet is a Persian masculine given name meaning “young”.
Diagnosis.
The new species is most similar to Z. parla sp. nov. and can be distinguished by the RTA longer than ½ of the cymbium’s length (vs shorter) and less deeply bifurcated (cf. Fig. 6B and D View Figure 6 ), and the relatively shorter palpal tibia (4 times shorter than cymbium vs 2 times shorter), and by the shape of the bulb. The two species differ also by the shape of the sperm duct and tegular apophysis (cf. Fig. 5A and C View Figure 5 ).
Description.
Male. Habitus as in Figure 4A View Figure 4 . Total length 4.85. Carapace 2.20 long, 1.43 wide. Eye sizes: AME: 0.11, ALE: 0.09, PME: 0.10, PLE: 0.09. 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. Measurements of legs: I: missing, II: 5.35 (1.45, 0.90, 1.12, 1.10, 0.78), III: 4.36 (1.20, 0.63, 0.87, 1.01, 0.65), IV: 7.06 (1.80, 1.00, 1.52, 1.81, 0.93).
Palp as in Figures 5A, B View Figure 5 , 6A, B View Figure 6 , 7A, B View Figure 7 ; tibia as long as wide, RTA almost twice longer than tibia, bifurcated in anterior 1/3, ventral arm rounded and dorsal one sharply pointed; cymbium 2 times longer than wide, and 4 times longer than tibia; tegular apophysis claw-like, directed laterally, with abrupt tip in lateral view; sperm duct with characteristic coil prolaterally.
