COMMENTS: All type specimens of Orthochirus iranus from Bushehr Province lack trichobothrium d 2 on the dorsal surface of pedipalp femur. Some specimens from Khoozestan Province have this trichobothrium fully developed, some have it reduced, and some lack it. The variability of trichobothrium d 2 was first discussed by Navidpour et al. (2008: 17–20). In the past, all known specimens from Bushehr Province were found to lack this trichobothrium; however, some of the most recently examined specimens (from localities Nos. Bu- 31 and B805) have trichobothrium d 2 fully developed.

DISTRIBUTION: Iran, Bushehr and Khoozestan Provinces (Kovařík, 2004: 13), Lorestan and Hamadan Provinces ( Navidpour et al., 2008: 20).
