Two new species of Araneae (Arachnida) from Iran

چکیده مقاله

Fadami is a city with a tropical climate in the southeast of Fars Province. In the first survey on spider fauna of Darab County, two new species belonging to families Gnaphosidae Banks, 1892, and Salticidae Blackwall, 1841 were found. Berinda sp. from the family Gnaphosidae shows similarity to B. bifurcate, but it differs from its congener in several characters. The tibial apophysis is longer and thinner; the median apophysis is different when viewed retrolaterally. Retrolateral tibial apophysis shallow, bifurcated, clung to palp, very long and transparent; in lateral view median apophysis is pitchfork, and the palp tip is longer, thinner, and bent in Berinda sp. In Evarcha sp. from the family Salticidae, the retrolateral tibial apophysis is short and thinner in comparison to other species of the genus. Moreover, apophysis is a short triangle in lateroventral view.
