Material.
Holotype ♀ (SMF), IRAN, Hormozgān Province, Bandar-e‘Abbās (found under a large rock, in a sandy substrate near the harbor), 27°11'N, 56°17'E, January 2014 (A. Zamani). Paratypes: 1♀ and 3 juv (SMF), IRAN, Hormozgān Province, Hormuz Island (found under a large rock, in a sandy substrate near the sea), 27°04'N, 56°28'E, January 2014 (A. Zamani).
Comparative material.
Syntype ♀ of Sahastata nigra (Simon, 1897) from Muscat, in Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris.
Etymology.
The specific epithet is derived from the Persian Gulf (Sinus Persicus in Latin); adjective.
Diagnosis.
The new species differs distinctly from the type species, Sahastata nigra by its lighter coloration and undivided receptacles (with two heads in Sahastata nigra , Fig. 41). It differs from Sahastata sabaea Brignoli, 1982 by its receptacles which are twice as large in size (6.1 in Sahastata sabaea ) and unbranched (with two “heads” in Sahastata sabaea , f. 18, Brignoli 1982).
Description.
Total length 12.0. Carapace 5.0 long, 4.0 wide; sternum 2.5 long, 2.25 wide. Habitus and pattern as in Figs 22-24. Palp: 2.75 + 1.45 + 1.65 + 1.6. Femur I 5.25 (other segments missing). Leg II: 4.2 + 1.7 + 3.25 + 3.35 + 1.6. Cribellar figs elongate, much longer than high (Fig. 25), calamistrum with three rows of hairs (Figs 26-29).
Vulva as in Figs 34-40; receptacles with one distinct head standing on a membranous and goffered stalk; in apical view the receptacle appears to have two heads; head covered with isolated patches of glands; receptacles separated by about 3 diameters.
Distribution.
The new species is known only from the type locality in Bandar Abbas and Hormuz Island.
