| Comment | Distribution: See map in SMID et al. 2014 for distribution in Iran. Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). Synonymy: Kamali et al. 2024 synonymized A. zagrosicus with A. elisae. Both Torki’s original 2011 and Kamali’s paper are unsatisfactory, e.g. with Torki et al. 2011 not saying which locality corresponds to which species in their Figure 1, and Kamali et al. 2024 not saying which locality in their Fig 1 or Fig. 5 corresponds to zagrosicus either. |
