SPECIMENS EXAMINED. Iran, Kurdistan province: Sarvabad; Daraki 2♂, 2♀ (35°19´N 46°09´E, 1831m), S. Mohammadi, sweeping. 15.VI.2018 .

DIAGNOSIS. Cyphodema humbaba is recognized by the following characters: interocular width/width of eye ♂ / ♀: 1.38–1.5/ 1.6; labium reaching or slightly surpassing metacoxa; clavus blackish, posteriorly stramineous; corium posteriorly with large blackish marking; tibia with golden spines; pygophore with a prominent denticle ( Fig. 3 ); sensory lobe of left paramere dentate; right paramere basally dentate; vesica with a long spiculum; sclerotized rings of female genitalia small and oval; dorsal labiate plate wide and laterally prominent; dorsal structure of posterior wall disk-shaped and spinose.

MEASUREMENTS. Body length ♂ / ♀ : 5.2–5.5/ 4.8– 5.2; width ♂ / ♀ : 2.13/2.2; interocular width/width of eye ♂ / ♀ : 1.38–1.5/ 1.6; lengths of antennal segments I–IV ♂ / ♀ : 0.5–0.61, 1.6, 1, 0.8/ 0.5, 1.44–1.55, 0.96–1.07, 0.84–0.87; 2nd segment ♂ / ♀ : 1.6x/ 1.4–1.5x as long as width of head; length of pronotum (dorsal view) ♂ / ♀ : 0.96–0.98/ 0.94– 1.07; width of posterior margin of pronotum ♂ / ♀ : 1.7/1.83.

MALE GENITALIA. Left paramere sickle-shaped, lateral side of sensory lobe with setiferous tubercles transformed into distinct teeth ( Fig. 8 ); right paramere broad and short, basal margin dentate, ventrally with small setiferous tubercles ( Fig. 9 ); vesica with several membranous lobes, a single spiculum and a small spinulated plate near secondary gonopore, one of the main membranous lobes laterally with small dentate field, another one dorsally dentate and sclerotized, secondary gonopore large and oval ( Fig. 7 ).

FEMALE GENITALIA. Dorsal labiate plate wide, laterally prominent, with pointed and reinforced margins; sclerotized rings small, oval, distinctly separated, placed laterally, obliquely oriented; posterior wall with large interramal sclerites (medially fused), small and spinose interramal lobes (medially separated), broadly rounded, disk–shaped and spinose dorsal structure and prominent medial process ( Fig. 81 ).

COMMENTS. Nine species of Cyphodema have been described in the world [ Schuh, 2002 –2013], and Cyphodema humbaba is the first record from Iran. Collected on herbaceous host plants in meadow.
