Zaitunia inderensis – Fomichev & Marusik 2013: 85 , figs 10–11, 15 ( ♀ ). Diagnosis By the structure of the vulva, females of Z. inderensis resemble Z. spinimana sp. nov. , but differ from it and all other congeners by the enlarged lateral receptacles which are considerably larger and more robust than the median pair ( Fig. 22 E). Material examined Holotype KAZAKHSTAN : ♀ , Atyrau Province , Inder plateau, karst sinkhole 20 km E of Inderborskiy (=Inderbor) town, 48º33' N , 52º01' E , 29 Sept. 1986 , A.V. Ponomarev ( ZMMU ). Paratypes (5 ♀♀) KAZAKHSTAN : 2 ♀♀ , same data as holotype ; 3 ♀♀ , same data, but 25 May 1987 ( ZMMU ) . Description Female ( holotype ) HABITUS. See Fig. 22 A. BODY LENGTH. 3.66. COLOUR. Whole spider pale yellowish-grey; eye tubercle brownish; abdomen lacking dorsal pattern. CARAPACE ( Fig. 42 C). 1.34 long, 1.02 wide. EYES. AME 0.07, ALE 0.13, PLE 0.10, PME 0.09, AME–AME 0.04. ENDOGYNE ( Fig. 22 B–C, E). Median and lateral receptacles closely spaced and arranged almost in one longitudinal line (median receptacles partly hide lateral ones). Median receptacles very short; lateral receptacles diverging, clublike, with corrugated stems, head of receptacles separated by about 2.5 of their diameter; median receptacles separated by less than 1.5 diameters.

Male Unknown. Variation Carapace length in female paratypes varies from 1.19 to 1.40; no distinction in the colouration is evident. Ecology According to label data and the original description ( Ponomarev 2005 ), the species was found in a low, semi-desert karst plateau. Distribution Known only from the type locality ( Fig. 48 ).
