Taxonomic remarks.
Described based on only female

paratypes
, this species is clearly recognizable from other Iranian gammarids, especially upon the crenulate and setose postero-dorsal margin of its pleosomites (
Stock
et al.
1998
, Fig. 21b), unique pattern of antenna 2 setation (scarce but long setae on peduncle segments 4 and 5 – longer than the width of the segments, short setae on the flagellum), and long antennal gland cone – longer than the length of the third peduncle segment (

, Fig. 21D).
