Fig. 13 A–C Dingosa persica Roewer, 1955a: 762 , fig. 11 ( ). Trochosa persica : Mozaffarian & Marusik 2001: 70 ; Framenau & Baehr 2007: 1626 . Type : holotype ( SMF ), “Arachn. Coll. Rwr. -Lfd. No.10467, No.469, Typ., Iran : Lahidschan”, F. Starmuhlner leg., examined . Other material examined : IRAN : 2♀ ( ZMUT ), Khuzestan , #2251, Abadam-B-Emam, 12 KE Abadam Rd. , 29.03.1999 ( K. Elmi ) ; 1♀ ( ZMUT ), #475, collecting locality and collector unknown . Comment . This species was transferred from Dingosa Roewer, 1955 , a genus known from Australia , to Trochosa ( Mozaffarian & Marusik, 2001 ) because the epigyne drawn by Roewer (1955a : fig. 11) corresponds well to Trochosa . Examination of the type revealed that the epigyne was inaccurately drawn (cf. Figs. 13B and 13C ) and that the holotype female has a pattern typical to Pardosa s.l. Judging from the epigyne, it may belong to the Pardosa nebulosa -group. This group was once considered a separate genus, Acroniops Simon, 1898 , currently a junior synonym of Pardosa C.L. Koch, 1847 . The new combination provided for Roewer’s species led to secondary homonymy with Pardosa persica Marusik, Ballarin & Omelko, 2012 , the species belonging to the Pardosa monticola - group that was also once considered a separate genus, Pardosops Roewer, 1955 . In any case, we herein replace the secondary junior homonym with P. persiana nom. n. (pro Pardosa persica Marusik, Ballarin & Omelko, 2012 ).
