Marinarozelotes is a genus of small to medium-sized ( 2–12 mm ) Zelotinae spiders with 23 accepted species distributed in the Palaearctic ( WSC 2024 ), most of which were previously classified under Zelotes and Trachyzelotes . Males of this genus differ from other Zelotinae by a large distally rounded base of the loop-like embolus and obliquely oriented or distally rounded terminal apophysis. Females are characterized by an M-shaped median epigynal ridge. Seven species occur in the Caucasus, including M. adriaticus (Caporiacco, 1951) , M. barbatus (L. Koch, 1866) , M. cumensis (Ponomarev, 1979) , M. jaxartensis (Kroneberg, 1875) , M. malkini (Platnick & Murphy, 1984) , M. manytchensis (Ponomarev & Tsvetkov, 2006) , and M. ponticus Ponomarev, 2022 ( Otto 2022 ; WSC 2024 ).
