Comments. Accounting the original descriptions, we hereby synonymize Z. apertum Zhang & Zhang, 2019 syn. n. (described from Xinjiang, northwestern China) with Z. mongolicum (described from Mongolia), as no noticeable differences can be detected between the illustrated male palps (cf. Zhang & Zhang 2019: fig. 2C and Marusik & Koponen 2001: figs 17–18).

Distribution. Mongolia and northwestern China (Xinjiang) ( Fig. 12B ).
