Abstract

In this paper, four genera (Brommella, Siwa, Trygetus and Turkozelotes) and 25 species are recorded for the spider fauna of Iran for the first time. In addition, new provincial records are provided for 103 species. As a result, the total number of the spider species known from this country is raised to 697.

In this paper, four genera (Brommella, Siwa, Trygetus and Turkozelotes) and 25 species are
recorded for the spider fauna of Iran for the first time. In addition, new provincial
records are provided for 103 species. As a result, the total number of the spider species
known from this country is raised to 697.
Key words: Iranian Plateau, Middle East, new records, range extensions.

NTRODUCTION
The present paper is the fifth contribution in the series devoted to the comprehensive faunistic
study of Iranian spiders. Currently, 672 spider species of 273 genera are known from Iran (Zamani
et al. 2018). Although there are several recent publications dealing with the description of new taxa
or records of spiders new to the fauna of Iran (e.g. Mirshamsi et al. 2015; Zamani et al. 2014, 2015,
2016, 2017; Marusik & Zamani 2015b, 2016; Malek Hosseini et al. 2015; Moradmand et al. 2016;
Zamani et al. 2017; Moradmand 2017), taxonomic surveys and large-scale faunistic works are scarce
(e.g. Tanasevitch 2009; Moradmand & Jäger 2011; Marusik & Zamani 2015a; Mirshamsi et al. 2016).
According to Mirshamsi et al. (2015), the total species diversity of Iranian spiders should be hardly
less than 1000 species. As a result of the four previous parts of this series, five families (Liocranidae,
Mimetidae, Mysmenidae, Miturgidae and Hahniidae), 35 genera and 120 species were recorded from
Iran for the first time (Zamani et al. 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017). Main goal of this paper is to provide
records for an additional number of 25 species which are new to the fauna of Iran, and raise the
number of spider species known from this country to 697. In addition, we have also provided new
provincial records for 103 species (Table).

ATERIAL AND
M
ETHODS
The materials treated in this paper were collected by the authors and their colleagues from different
provinces of Iran from 1996 till now. Species distribution is based on the information provided in
several databases and catalogues: viz., Mikhailov (2013), World Spider Catalog (2017) and other
sources. In order to recognize a new record status of the treated taxa, all the existing records were
checked upon the database compiled by Zamani et al. (2018).
The depositories of the studied specimens are as follows: Agricultural Zoology Museum of
Iran (AZMI), Zoological Museum of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (ZMFUM), Zoological
Museum of Perm State University (ZMPSU), Zoological Museum of University of Tehran (ZUTC).

Material: Alborz Province: 2♀ (ZUCT), Nazar Abad, September 2017 (P. Beyhaghi).
Comments: This species has a Central Asian range, previously recorded from Kyrgyzstan,
Tajikistan (?), Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The current record is the southwesternmost in the
whole range. Due to close similarities, it is probable that some literature records of Argiope lobata
(Pallas, 1772) from northern Iran could refer to this species (see Zamani et al., 2018, for a list of
provincial record references).

ONCLUSIONS
As a result of this paper, four genera (Brommella, Siwa, Trygetus and Turkozelotes) and 25 species of
spiders are recorded for the fauna of Iran for the first time and new provincial records are provided
for 103 species. Of the studied material, records for 11 species (Brommella falcigera, Evippa fortis,
Gnaphosa petrobia, Oxyopes sobrinus, Pellenes ostrinus, Plexippoides gestroi, Siwa atomaria, Theridion hermonense,
Zelotes zekharya, Zodarion lutipes, Zora manicata) represent the eastern- or southeasternmost limits of the
corresponding species’ range, those of the 10 species (Gnaphosa saurica, Haplodrassus ovtchinnikovi,
Hersiliola turcica, Minosiella intermedia, Phlegra cinereofasciata, Phlegra dunini, Titanoeca caucasica, Trachyzelotes
malkini, Trygetus jacksoni, Turkozelotes mirandus, Xysticus acerbus) represent the southernmost, and those
of the two species (Argiope ahngeri, Berlandina afghana) the western- or southwestern range limits. As a
result of this paper, the number spider species known from Iran is raised to 697 species of 277
genera.
