Gnathosoma ( Figs. 1–3 View Figures 1–3 ) – Two pairs of ventral hypostomal setae longitudinally aligned (vh1– vh2), vh1 68–74, vh2 66–70 ( Fig. 1 View Figures 1–3 ); hypostome ending in two lateral lips, bearing two adoral setae or 1–2 and with sparsely longitudinal striations, which are transverse at base. Chelicera ( Fig. 2 View Figures 1–3 ) with longitudinal striae and with two setae, proximal seta 88–94 longer than distal seta 66–75, distance between setae 93–102; movable digit smooth, fixed digit straight, smooth and slightly shorter than movable digit.

Dorsum ( Figs. 4–5 View Figures 4–8 ) – Center of propodosoma with continuous to sparsely broken transverse striations and lateral margins longitudinally striated ( Fig. 4 View Figures 4–8 ); at and pt slender and nude ( Fig. 4 View Figures 4–8 ). Two pairs of eyes posterolateral to pt with transverse striae between each pair between each pair and one median eye present ( Fig. 4 View Figures 4–8 ). Setae lps closer to pt than to at. Dorsal striae of hysterosoma with continuous to sparsely broken striae; dorsal setae minutely barbed ( Fig. 5 View Figures 4–8 ).
Venter ( Figs. 6–8 View Figures 4–8 ) – Ventral setae nude; genital plates each with 14–15 setae longitudinally; 19– 20 aggenital setae present ( Fig. 7 View Figures 4–8 ); anal valves with three pairs of pseudanal setae (ps 1 –ps 3), ps 1 62– 75, ps 2 46–66, ps 3 36–44; one pair of setae, one pair of setae (v 1) present between coxae III.

Remarks
Until now, Spinibdella tadjikistanica has previously been reported from Tadjikistan ( Kuznetzov
1984). The original description provided based on female and male. The present Iranian specimens of Spinibdella tadjikistanica are morphologically and in general appearance similar to the Tadjik specimens (see the original description of Kuznetzov (1984), in Russian), but there are slight differences as well; i.e. Iranian specimens with 14–15 genital setae vs. 17 setae in the Tadjik specimens and telofemur III with 5/6 setae in Iranian specimens vs. 4 setae in the Tadjik specimens.
Material examined
Three males and one female from bark of the apple tree and rotten leaves of apple tree, Seyyedlar village , 11 December 2015; one male from bark of the apple tree, Sowmaeh-ye Kabudin, 19 December 2015, Miyaneh city, East Azerbaijan province, Iran were collected by Aylar Rostami.
