( Figs. 773 , 812–813 , 848 )

Nocarodes crispus Mistshenko sp. n: Bey-Bienko & Mistshenko 1951: 362.

Nocarodes crispus Mistshenko, 1951 : Mirzayans 1959: 17; Shumakov 1963: 58; Presa & Garcia 1983: 17; Otte 1994: 173; Mirzayans 1998: 21; Garai 2010: 410; Hodjat 2012: 266.

Type locality. Iran: Azerbaijan, Urmia , Maragheh. Holotype: female ( ZIN) .

Material examined. IRAN: [Azerbaijan, Urmia], Maraga et vie., prov. Aderbedjž , 17.5.1916, 1♀ (Holotype), ibidem , 16.6.1916, 1♀ (Paratype) (Mus. Caucas., Exp. Urmiana ) ( ZIN) .

Distribution. N.W. Iran: Azerbaijan, Ardebil, Kermanshah, Kordestan, Zanjan provinces ( Fig. 848 ).

Remarks. The male phallus is needed to determine its species group. The male sex is unknown. Because of the distribution it is tentatively placed within this species group, but it is possibly a member of the N. aserbus sp. group by the similar shape of hind femur.

Garai (2010) recorded this species with a question mark from Kordestan and Zanjan provinces of Iran.
