Zodarion zebra Charitonov, 1946: 21 , fig. 10 (♀).

Zodarion zebra: Charitonov 1969: 71 .

Comments. This species is hereby transferred to Zodariellum due to its screw-like copulatory ducts, a character unknown in other Zodariinae . Judging from the name and the detail verbal description by Charitonov (1969), it is very likely that Z. zebra is a junior synonym of Z. testaceofasciatum , a species with striped abdomen and type locality not far from that of Z. zebra .

Distribution. Uzbekistan ( Fig. 12A ).
