Detailed figures are provided to illustrate the habitus and the male palpal organs of the species. The known distribution records are mapped and habitat photographs are given.</p></abstract>

Bu kayıt, ülke için yeni bir örümcek cinsi ve türü kaydının ilk keşfini temsil etmektedir. Örnekler, Meke Gölü (Konya İli, İç Anadolu Bölgesi) yakınlarındaki taşların altından elle toplanmıştır. Türün habitatı, tuzlu gölü çevreleyen seyrek çalılıklar ve dağınık otlarla karakterize edilen volkanik tabanlı kumlu yumuşak topraktan oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada, türün erkek bireylerinin genel morfolojik görünüşü, palpal organlarına ilişkin ayrıntılı fotoğraflar ile birlikte sunulmuş ve morfolojik tanımlaması yapılmıştır. Ayrıca, türün bilinen dağılım kayıtları harita üzerinde gösterilmiş ve habitat fotoğrafları verilmiştir.</p></trans-abstract>
