Figs 32A-F View Figure 32 , 33A-F View Figure 33 , 34A, B View Figure 34

Type material.

Holotype ♂ (ZMUT), Iran: Hormozgan Province: Geno Biosphere Reserve, 27°22'N, 56°07'E, 02.2020 (A. Zamani). Paratypes: 3♀ (ZMUT), same data as the holotype.

Etymology.

The specific epithet is an adjective, referring to the type locality of the species.

Diagnosis.

The male of the new species differs from those of its congeners by having weakly sclerotized bent stylus (St) (Fig. 32C, F View Figure 32 ) (vs. stylus, if present, not bent). The female of this species is very similar to that of D. iranica sp. nov. by having a wide receptacle (i.e.,> 2 × wider than transverse bar), but differs by the relatively wider receptacle lacking an anterior triangular projection, and the presence of a median concavity on the transverse bar (vs. receptacle with triangular projection, transverse bar without concavity).

Carapace, sternum, chelicerae, labium, and maxillae pale reddish. Legs orange. Abdomen cream-coloured, without any pattern. Spinnerets uniformly cream-coloured.
