Dysdera erythrina : Roewer 1955: 752 (in part, misidentification).

Type material.

Holotype ♀ (SMF), Iran: Mazandaran Province: Caspian coast, forest in Chalus, 36°40'N, 51°25'E (F. Starmühlner). Paratype: 1♀ (MMUE), north of Javaher-Deh Vil., ~ 500 m down by elevation down from vil., 36°52'19.2"N, 50°28'01.2"E, 9.06.2000 (Y.M. Marusik).

Etymology.

The specific epithet is a noun in apposition, named after an Iranian language of the northwestern branch spoken by the Mazandarani people.

Diagnosis.

The new species is similar to D. isfahanica sp. nov., but differs by the arched anterior margin of receptacle (vs. almost straight), almost square-shaped dorsal arch (vs. distinctly trapezoidal), and shorter anterior angles (vs. longer, cf. Fig. 14A-D, E-G View Figure 14 ).

Female (Holotype). Habitus as in Fig. 13A, B View Figure 13 . Total length 8.90. Carapace 4.25 long, 3.37 wide. Eye diameters: AME 0.21, PME 0.19, PLE 0.22. Carapace, sternum, chelicerae, labium, and maxillae orange. Legs yellowish. Abdomen pale beige, without any pattern. Spinnerets uniformly pale beige. Measurements of legs: I: 10.93 (3.48, 2.02, 2.50, 2.25, 0.68), II: 10.00 (2.95, 1.86, 2.31, 2.25, 0.63), III: 7.46 (2.38, 1.08, 1.44, 1.91, 0.65), IV: 9.92 (2.71, 1.50, 2.12, 2.88, 0.71).
