Description

For a detailed description, refer to Lecigne & Henrard (2022).

Remarks

As in Z. granulatum, males of Z. reticulatum possess longer PVS, arranged in a somewhat radiating pattern (Fig. 89B), whereas females exhibit shorter, more parallel PVS structures (Fig. 89D).

Distribution

Previous studies recorded Z. reticulatum in Cyprus and Greece (World Spider Catalog 2025). This is the first report of this species from Turkey and represents, therefore, the northwesternmost occurrence of this species across its distribution range.
