Etymology. The species is named after Tuncay Türkeş for his contributions to Turkish Arachnology.

Diagnosis. This new species belongs to the spinibarb e species group based on the shape of the median apophysis with toothed distal branch. Although it resembles Z. epirense Brignoli, 1984 , it clearly differs by the following characters: in males, the median apophysis is very broad, occupying most of the bulb and the distal part of the median apophysis bears a single wide tooth with an oblique groove and a broad subdistal triangular extension. In females, epigynal plate is rectangular and is provided with two postero-lateral membranous extensions.

Description. Male holotype (KUAM-ZOD-2020/80) ( Figs 5A–D View FIGURE 5 , 6–8 View FIGURE 6 View FIGURE 7 View FIGURE 8 ).

Palp ( Figs 6–8 View FIGURE 6 View FIGURE 7 View FIGURE 8 ). Tibial apophysis short, abruptly narrows into sharp, dorsal tooth. Median apophysis with thick basal part that curled and tapered distally. The distal part of the median apophysis bears a single wide tooth with an oblique groove and a broad subdistal triangular extension (indicated by the arrows in Fig. 7C View FIGURE 7 ). Tegulum without protrusion. Embolus arcuate and tapered distally.
