Diagnosis Females of Z. zonsteini , with their very short and small receptacles, resemble those of Z. minuta sp. nov. , but differ by having smaller eyes, broader calamistral setae, a larger cribellum and more globular receptacles (both pairs) (cf. Figs 39 D–H, 40, 41D–M).

Fig. 41 A–C). Fig. 42. Variations of coloration and setation of carapace in ♂♂ ( A , D , F–G ) and ♀♀ ( B–C , E , H ) of some Zaitunia species. — A–B . Z. logunovi sp. nov. C .
