Redescription of Zodariellum sungar (Araneae: Zodariidae) with the First Description of the Female

Abstract

The redescription of Zodariellum sungar (Jocque, 1991), on the basis of newly collected material is provided. The female of this species, previously unknown, is described here for the first time. In addition, one new combination is established, Zodarion sungar (Jocque, 1991) comb. n., ex Zodariellum. According to the palp and epigyne structure, the new combination clearly belongs to the lutipes group of genus Zodarion Walckenaer, 1826 and is distinguished from the other members of lutipes group by the brush hook shaped median apophysis on the male palp and by the 6 coils of the female spermathecae.
