Comments. This species is transferred to Zodariellum due to its screw-like copulatory ducts, a character unknown in other Zodariinae .

Distribution. According to WSC (2022), this species is known from Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Accounting that the only figure provided with the original description is not very informative, it is very much possible that the record from Kazakhstan belongs to another species. We have only marked the type locality on the map ( Fig. 12A ).
