Juveniles of A. labyrinthica, A. orientalis (C.L. Koch, 1837) and Allagelena gracilens (C.L. Koch, 1841) look similar. However, the juvenile specimens from the Botanical Garden most probably belong to A. labyrinthica, which is a transpalaearctic species known from Armenia; the specimens have also been collected in the habitat common for this species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038BBA2BFFBAC1508EC1FC282D75FB35	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The epigyne of the Armenian specimens (Fig. 5D, E) is most similar to those illustrated for M. scopensis, but still differ in having straight and anteriorly diverging margins of the fovea (vs. converging and concave). The epigyne of our specimens is also similar to those of M. lubricus (Simon, 1880) known from Eastern China but differs in the straight epigynal margins (vs. rounded) and also in the presence of numerous small spines on tarsus I, lacking in M. lubricus (Fu et al. 2009: fig. 7). We have provided figures for habitus and leg I to illustrate the characteristic features of this species, representing a genus previously not reported in the Caucasus. Mesiotelus scopensis is known from the Balkans, westernmost Anatolia (Elverici et al. 2013; Nentwig et al. 2021). Record from Iran may refer to the same species as Armenian specimens.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038BBA2BFFBDC1568E2BFEC82E03FE1D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
