Material examined

Holotype

IRAN: Ƌ, Khorāsān-e Jonoubi Province, Qāen County, Kārizan (33°53′ N, 59°49′ E), 1 May 2012, O. Mirshamsi leg. (SMF).

Diagnosis

By structure of the palp with a moderately swollen tibia and a widely tapering embolus, the relatively large male holotype of Anemesia koponeni resembles the large males of A. tubifex . However, it differs from them by the almost uniformly dark brown coloured body and legs (vs the lighter and more contrastingly coloured body and legs in A. tubifex; Fig. 2, cf. Fig. 4), as well as by a narrower eye group and by the closer spaced AMEs (Fig. 49, cf. Fig. 51).
