Type species
Zagrotes apophysalis View in CoL sp. nov., from southwestern Iran.
Diagnosis
The male of the new genus differs from other Zelotinae Platnick, 1990 occurring in the region by the large modified palpal patella being longer than the tibia, with a swollen proximal part, swollen base of the tibial apophysis, the tibia being two times wider distally than proximally and the bifid tibial apophysis. The female of Zagrotes gen. nov. differs from other species of Zelotinae (except for some female Berinda spp. ) by having a distinct flexible scape with a digitiform tip.
Etymology
A combination of ʻZagrosʼ, a mountain range in Iran, Iraq and southeastern Turkey, and ʻ Zelotes ʼ, referring to the distribution and affinity of the new genus, respectively.
Description
Same as for the type species.
Comments
Although the epigyne is different from those of all other genera of Zelotinae, and the male palp has modifications unknown in other members of this subfamily, the genus is placed in Zelotinae due to the presence of a preening comb on metatarsus III.
Composition
Only the type species.
Distribution
Southwestern and southern Iran.
