As a result, six genera (Callilepis, Leptopilos, Parasyrisca (Gnaphosidae), Mastigusa (Hahniidae), Stemonyphantes, and Styloctetor (Linyphiidae)) and 43 species are recorded from Iran for the first time; three species (Hahnia rossiiBrignoli, 1977, Haplodrassus rhodanicus (Simon, 1914), and Mastigusa arietina (Thorell, 1871)) are recorded for the first time from Asia. Additionally, the previously unknown males of Tegenaria erosZamani & Marusik, 2019and H. rossii are described, and 119 new provincial records are provided for 70 species. © 2020 British Arachnological Society.
