Diagnosis: Males of P. gideoni differ from P. nassirkhanii sp. n. and P. zagrosensis sp. n. by lacking round or triangular extensions (Ee) near the base of the embolus ( Figs. 6A, I View Fig , 9A View Fig ). Females of P. gideoni are most similar to those of P. levyi by having a bifurcate scape. The two species can be separated by the relative width of the scape and fovea: in P. gideoni , the fovea is 2.5× wider than the scape and in P. levyi it is 2× wider ( Fig. 12H View Fig ).
Description: Described by Levy (1996) and Guseinov, Marusik & Koponen (2005, sub A. dunini ).
Remarks: Zamani et al. (2016) mentioned that the shape of the epigyne is highly variable in A. dunini ( Azerbaijan) , showing left-right asymmetry. Therefore, A. dunini differs from P. gideoni only by the bifurcated scape, the anchorshaped foveal plate, and body size, all of which are highly variable even within the same population. Considering this, and that the males of A. dunini and P. gideoni do not differ morphologically, we consider A. dunini a junior synonym of P. gideoni .
Records in Iran: Alborz, Mazandaran, Tehran, ( Zamani et al. 2020), Chaharmahal & Bakhtiari, Golestan, Isfahan, Kerman, Qazvin (current data).
