Remarks. This species was first described by Özbek et al. (2013) based on female specimens collected from the provinces of Tokat, Sivas, Giresun, and Gümüşhane in Türkiye. In the present study, four female specimens were collected and identified from the study area for the first time. The newly collected specimens are morphologically similar to the type materials (Özbek et al., 2013). In this genus, spermathecal structures are generally not apparent ( Emberson, 2010). However, in one specimen from the study area, the spermathecal structures of L. ozkani were clearly visible for the first time. The tubuli annulati were strongly elongated, and the rami were distinctly visible ( Fig. 1 View Figures 1-4 ).
