Raveniola niedermeyeri from Iran: Redescription and new data on distribution (Araneae, Nemesiidae)

Abstract

Raveniola niedermeyeri (Brignoli, 1972), a poorly known species, is rediagnosed and redescribed from the types and from recently collected material from northern and central regions of Iran. This species differs from its congeners in having the male embolus curved distally, as well as in the unique conformation of the spermathecae. New data on the distribution of R. niedermeyeri in Iran are also provided. © S. Zonstein, Y.M. Marusik.
