Tomosvaryella gazliensis Kuznetzov, 1994 View in CoL

Figs 15A‒D View FIGURE 15 , 51 View FIGURE 51

Diagnosis: This species can be recognized by the shape of surstyli in lateral view, rounded apically, with a distinct posteroventral projection before its apex ( Fig. 15B‒C View FIGURE 15 ); epandrium wider than long in dorsal view ( Fig. 15A View FIGURE 15 ); gono- pods equally in height in ventral view ( Fig. 15D View FIGURE 15 ); subepandrial sclerite small, basically wide in ventral view ( Fig. 15D View FIGURE 15 ). Based on the shape of genitalia, this species resembles T. urdaensis Kuznetzov, 1994 . It differs by the shape of surstyli in dorsal view. Base of surstyli in T. urdaensis is broader and more angulated ( Majnon-Jahromi et al. 2017b: fig. 19).

Specimens examined: IRAN: Sistan & Baluchestan: Saravan , 27°25’N, 62°17’E, 8.xi.2016, F. Hamzavi, pan trap, JSS51918 (1♂, CNC) GoogleMaps .

Distribution: Iran, Uzbekistan ( Skevington 2020) ( Fig. 51 View FIGURE 51 ).

Note: Tomosvaryella gazliensis and T. urdaensis Kuznetzov, 1994 , share identical COI barcode (0.0% pairwise divergence) (Supplementary Table 1). In addition, the terminalia of these species are rather similar so future work is required to clarify if they are a single species with polymorphic genitalia or different species.
