Figs 16, 48

Material.

1 ♀, Iran, 70 km south of Teheran, 1300 m, 5.v.1965, leg. [F.] Kasy & [A.] Vartian, genitalia slide Mey 25/21 (NHMW) .

Remarks.

According to the genitalia, the single female represents an undescribed species. It mainly differs from Z. ghorella, Z. stshetkini sp. nov. and Z. walsinghami in the median position of the ostium bursae in the intersegmental membrane ventrally between segment VII and VIII. The abdominal segments are more melanised than in other species and especially the surface of sterna VI and VII have a rough surface formed by minute denticules (Fig. 48).

With only one female individual at hand, the species is not named and described here. More material including males should be collected in the area of the known locality, which would provide a more adequate basis for a species description.
