Type. ♂ Holotype (ZMFUM-LYC-0017), IRAN, Razavi Khorasan Province: Torbat Jam County, Cheshmeh Morghal Elevations , 35.51°N, 60.79°E, 14. Sep. 2013, B. Jannesar leg.

Etymology. The species name is a patronym honoring the distinguished Iranian maqami music master, Abdollah Sarvar-Ahmadi (1949-2012; Torbat Jam, Iran).

Diagnosis. The male of K. sarvari sp. n. can be readily distinguished from those of all other Karakumosa species by the shape of the median tooth of the median apophysis, which is finger-shaped and notched at its tip, and by the presence of a serrated retrolateral edge of the median tooth ( Figs 26–27 , 30, 32 ).

Description. Male (holotype). Total length 24.45. Carapace 14.4 long, 11.4 wide.

Prosoma. Carapace brown. Median band anteriorly heart-shaped, yellowish-brown, densely covered with white setae. Lateral bands brown ( Fig. 21 ). Sub-marginal stripes yellowish-brown, wide and broken, marginal stripes black and narrow ( Fig. 21 ). Sternum reddish-yellow, covered with short white setae and scattered long black setae ( Fig. 22 ). Chelicerae reddish-brown, black posteriorly, densely covered with white setae and sparsely with black setae ( Fig. 23 ). Clypeus yellow, covered with dense white setae and sparse black setae ( Fig. 23 ). Labium reddishbrown anteriorly and black posteriorly, endites reddish-brown, covered with black setae ( Fig. 22 ).

Eyes. Sizes and interdistances: ALE 0.4; AME 0.6; PLE 1.35; PME 1.35; ALE–AME 0.15; AME–AME 0.3; PME–PME 1.2.

Opisthosoma. Dorsum yellow, with black marks and spots; cardiac mark yellow, with black edging. Venter yellow, covered with white setae. Spinnerets yellow, covered with white and black setae ( Figs 21–22 ).

Legs. Dorsal aspect: coxae and trochanters I–IV black; femora and tibiae reddish brown; all patellae grey, but patellae I–II darker; all tibiae reddish-brown; metatarsi and tarsi: I–II black, III–IV reddish-brown; coxae, trochanters, femora and patellae of all legs covered with long and dense white and sparse short black setae; tibiae of all legs and metatarsi and tarsi III–IV covered with dense white setae and a sparse fringe of long black protruded setae; metatarsi and tarsi I–II densely covered with short brown setae ventro-laterally and short white setae dorsally. Ventral aspect: coxae, trochanters and femora I–IV reddish-brown, covered with short and dense white and sparse long black setae; patellae grey, with a pair of black parallel marks at their proximal ends; tibiae I–II light brown proximally and dark brown distally; tibiae III–IV reddish-brown; tibiae of all legs and metatarsi and tarsi III–IV densely covered with short yellowish setae and long black protruded setae; metatarsi and tarsi I–II black, covered with dense short light brown setae and sparse black protruded setae, and with a longitudinal black stripe dorsally on metatarsi I; metatarsi III–IV reddish-brown ( Fig. 25 ); tarsi of all legs with scopulae and spinules. Measurements and spination as in Tables 5–6 .

Palp. Palp as in Figs 26–32 . Femora and patellae yellow, densely covered with short white setae. Tibiae yellow, with black distal spot; venter and lateral sides (especially prolateral) covered with a dense fringe of very long protruded setae proximally black and whitish tip. Cymbium brown, covered with short white setae and curly long light brown setae laterally. Median apophysis with narrow and sharpened lateral process; proximal extension of the median apophysis markedly hook-shaped, tip pointed; in ventral view: median tooth finger-shaped, tip notched, the retrolateral edge of median tooth serrated; in prolateral view: median tooth with a low serrate flange at its foot ( Fig. 32 ); inner plate of the median apophysis large and prominent retrolaterally ( Figs 27 , 30 ). Conductor triangular, acutely pointed with a bent tip. Synembolus with 2 converging lamellae: apical lamella basalward-sloping straight, basal lamellae apicalward-sloping straight. Embolus apicalward-sloping straight ( Figs 27 , 29–30 ).

Female: Unknown.

Distribution. Known from the type locality only ( Fig. 57 ).
