Based on the structure of the male palp, this species belongs to the puritanus group. It was overlooked by Fomichev & Marusik (2021) as a member of this group and was not included in their listing. Although the species has been described in several publications, details of the male palpal structures have never been illustrated. Therefore, we provide detailed photographs here. Records in Iran.
