Prodidomus rufus Hentz, 1847 (Arachnida: Araneae), Irak'ın Güneyinden Dişinin Yeniden Tanımlanması ve Yeni Erkek Kaydı

Daha önce Al-Necef ilinden (Merkez, Irak) kaydedilen Prodidomus rufus Hentz 1847 dişisi, hatalı olarak tanımlanmıştır. Bu nedenle, türün erkek bireyleri Irak'ın güneyindeki Thi Qar ilinin kuzeyindeki Al-Gharraf ilçesinde ilk kez kaydedilerek yeniden tanımlanmıştır. Türleri ayırt etmede taksonomik karakter olan çiftleşme organları (Palp ve Epigynum) gösterilmiştir. Türün habitatı, erkek ve dişi bireylerin bacak parçaları ölçümleri ve bir dağılış haritası da sunulmuştur.

Prodidomus rufus Hentz, 1847 (Arachnida: Araneae), Redescription of Female and New Record of Male from South of Iraq

The female of the species Prodidomus rufus Hentz 1847, which was previously recorded from Al-Najaf province in central Iraq, was described inaccurately. Therefore, we re-described it as the males were first recorded in Al-Gharraf district, north of Thi Qar province- southern Iraq, depending on the copulatory organs (Palp and Epigynum) illustrated in the figures and have a role in distinguishing between species. The habitus of males and females, leg parts measurements of males and females, and a map of specimen’s locations are also presented.
