Type material.
Holotype ♂ (ZMUU), Türki̇yе: Adana Province: Pozantı District, Akçatekir Village, 37°19'29"N, 34°46'33"E, 1336 m elev., 27.09.2018, hand collection (R.S. Kaya and E.A. Yağmur); Paratypes: 1♂2♀ (ZMUT), same data as for the holotype; 2♂2♀ (AZMM), same data as for the holotype; 10♂12♀ (ZMUU), same data as for the holotype.
Etymology.
The specific epithet is derived from the Latin " Anatextrix monstrabilis ", meaning "remarkable, excellent".
Diagnosis.
The new species differs from the generotype, A. spectabilis , by having the male palpal femur bent at a right angle at the mesal part (vs. slightly bent at distal part), having no distal bulge (vs. present), a less protruding tip of the conductor (Ct) and a smaller dorsal extension of the conductor (Dc) (cf. Fig. 2A, F View Figure 2 ). The female of the new species differs from that of A. spectabilis by having diverging copulatory ducts (Cd) (vs. parallel; cf. Fig. 5A, F View Figure 5 ).
Description.
Male (holotype). Habitus as in Fig. 1B View Figure 1 . Total length 6.28. Carapace 3.17 long, 1.03 wide at pars cephalica, 2.18 wide at pars thoracica. Eye sizes: AME: 0.10, ALE: 0.14, PME: 0.20, PLE: 0.14. Carapace, sternum, labium and maxillae light brown; carapace with darker submedian bands. Chelicerae light reddish brown, with 3 pro- and 2 retromarginal teeth. Legs yellowish brown, with annulations. Abdomen dorsally dark greyish with lighter foliate pattern, light greyish ventrally. Spinnerets light greyish, darker basally. Measurements of legs: I: 7.04 (1.87, 0.88, 1.43, 1.74, 1.12), II: 7.06 (1.92, 0.89, 1.39, 1.78, 1.08), III: 7.09 (1.90, 0.85, 1.34, 1.90, 1.10), IV: 8.85 (2.25, 0.89, 1.78, 2.67, 1.26). Spination as shown in Table 1 View Table 1 .
Palp as in Figs 2A-E View Figure 2 , 3A-E View Figure 3 , 4A-F View Figure 4 ; femur strongly modified, bent at right angle in mid-part, with proximal bulge (Rt) and two digitiform outgrowths (So and Sp); patella with ventral apophysis (Va); tibial about as long as wide, with small retrolateral apophysis extended retrolaterally (Rt) and ventral keel (Kt); tip of conductor with three processes in lateral view (Fig. 2A, C View Figure 2 ).
Female (paratype, ZMUT). Habitus as in Fig. 1A View Figure 1 . Total length 6.33. Carapace 3.02 long, 1.01 wide at pars cephalica, 1.80 wide at pars thoracica. Eye sizes: AME: 0.10, ALE: 0.13, PME: 0.21, PLE: 0.15. Colouration as in male. Measurements of legs: I: 6.00 (1.59, 0.76, 1.23, 1.49, 0.93), II: 5.89 (1.62, 0.80, 1.14, 1.44, 0.89), III: 6.15 (1.69, 0.79, 1.19, 1.52, 0.96), IV: 7.95 (2.07, 0.85, 1.68, 2.26, 1.09). Spination as shown in Table 1 View Table 1 .
Epigyne as in Fig. 5A-E View Figure 5 ; septum (Se) well distinct in posterior part; copulatory ducts (Cd) subparallel posteriorly and diverging anteriorly; receptacles (Re) elongated, ca. 3 times longer than wide, located anteriorly.
Natural history.
The type locality of the new species is located in the Eastern Taurus Mountain range. This species inhabits montane forests dominated by Taurus fir ( Abies cilicica Carr.). All examined specimens were collected from their funnel-webs constructed under the rocks, crevices in the soil and trunks of fallen trees, in rocky areas along the forest (Fig. 6B View Figure 6 ).
Distribution.
Known only from the type locality in Adana Province, southern Türkiye (Fig. 7 View Figure 7 ).
