Figs 21A–E , 47A, 53

Diagnosis: This species can be recognized by the small epandrium, wider than long ( Fig. 21A ); both surstyli rather straight in lateral view ( Fig. 21D–E ); phallus with three ejaculatory ducts, one with some long spines towards surstyli in lateral view ( Fig. 21D ); subepandrial sclerite long, both sides with about seven setae apically ( Fig. 21B ); gonopods broad, equal in height ( Fig. 21B ); hind trochanter with a small projection (Fig. 47A).

Specimens examined: IRAN: Khuzestan: Shush , 32°06’N, 48°26’E, 68 m a.s.l., 11.iii–10.v.2015, E. Gilasian, Malaise trap, JSS52231, JSS 52203 (1♂, ♀, CNC) .

Distribution: Israel, Iran ( De Meyer, 1995) ( Fig. 53 ).
