Remarks

The single female specimen from Afghanistan exhibits slight differences compared to the Iranian population, particularly in the height of the spermathecal bodies, which are arranged in descending order (vs more or less equally sized, cf. Fig. 26D View Fig and Fig. 26B View Fig ), and in the lighter proximal parts of Fe I and II (vs entirely dark, cf. Fig. 25C View Fig and Fig. 25A View Fig ). Given the unlikely prospect of obtaining additional material from Afghanistan in the near future, we treated this single specimen as P. raddei .
