The male of A. gidzhovak sp. n. differs from those of the aforementioned three species by having a longer embolus that gently curves in its distal part, and the ratio of the embolus length to the width of the bulbal part of the palpal organ 1.7, whereas it is 1.3 in A. incana and A. infuscata, and 1.5 in A. infumata . Moreover, the embolus in the other three species is less distinctly bent (Figure 13, cf. Zonstein 2018b, figs 215–223).</p><p>The female differs from that of A. infumata by having distinctly globular spermathecal heads that are clearly wider than the corresponding spermathecal stalks (Figure 18, cf. Zonstein 2018b, figs 255–257), from that of A. infuscata by having shorter, almost columnar stalks (these being noticeably longer and more strongly narrowing apically in A. infuscata; Figure 18, cf. Zonstein 2018b, figs 258–265), and from that of A. incana by having less defined spermathecal heads (these being more developed and much wider than corresponding stalks in A. incana; Figure 18, cf.

Unknown.</p><p>Habitat</p><p>Pine forest (Figure 46).</p><p>Comment</p><p>Recently, Zonstein (2024) described Raveniola afghana Zonstein, 2024, which also belongs to the concolor group, from female specimens collected in Bamyan Province and Wardak Province of central Afghanistan. It is possible that the male specimen described here is conspecific with these females, although it is unlikely because there is approximately 400 km of aerial distance between their collection sites. Collecting additional material of both sexes at these localities is necessary to confirm that two distinct species are present.</p><p>Distribution</p><p>Known only from the type locality in Nuristan Province of eastern Afghanistan (Figure 47) .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E38453032B0A5A0D490DABA990D1F5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
