CF583B069F961D8BDC21F2DE3F36DC1A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Females of Sahastata sinuspersica can be distinguished from the other female congeners by having one pair of receptacle heads connected to the epigastric furrow by a pair of ducts, while Sahastata nigra Simon, 1897 present two pairs of spermathecae heads (Benoit 1968: fig. 4) and Sahastata sabaea Brignoli, 1982 has the duct connected to the bursa copulatrix (Brignoli 1982: fig. 18) (Fig. 3 e-f). The male differs from all known filistatids except for Filistata puta O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1876 (sensu Wunderlich 1995) by having numerous small spines on femora I and II. Males of Sahastata sinuspersica and Filistata puta both have relatively long palps but differ by the shape of the bulb: conical and tapering in Sahastata sinuspersica and with round tegular part in Filistata puta (Wunderlich 1995: figs 2 - 4). The bulb of Sahastata sinuspersica is very similar to that in Sahastata ashapuriae. Although the latter species is poorly-described and illustrated, it can be easily distinguished from Sahastata sinuspersica by having palps longer than leg I (palp twice shorter than leg I in Iranian species).	en	Marusik, Yuri M., Zamani, Alireza (2015): The spider family Filistatidae (Araneae) in Iran.
