Genus Karakumosa Logunov & Ponomarev, 2020 View in CoL

Type species. Karakumosa repetek Logunov & Ponomarev, 2020 View in CoL

Diagnosis. According to Logunov & Ponomarev (2020), Karakumosa is most similar to Zyuzicosa Logunov, 2010 in having a biramous synembolus, an embolus with a prolatero-apical origin, the tarsi of all legs covered by scopulae and spinules, and a similar ratio of posterior/anterior row of eyes. Karakumosa differs from Zyuzicosa by the median apophysis with an inner and an outer plate, a synembolus with 2 acutely pointed lamellae, venter of opisthosoma not black, longer epyginal atrium and absence of septal pedicle ( Logunov & Ponomarev 2020).

Comments. Karakumosa is a recently described genus with 10 species named to date ( World Spider Catalog 2022). Members of this genus are large and fossorial spiders distributed in Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan ( Logunov & Ponomarev 2020; Logunov & Fomichev 2021). Moreover, the type locality of Karakumosa medica ( Pocock, 1889) could either be in Iran or Afghanistan ( Zamani et al. 2021).
