Dysdera afghana Denis 1958

19) Dysdera afghana Denis, 1958 * Records: Kabul: [Kab7]; Kandahar: [Kan2]. Distribution: Afghanistan. References: Dysdera afghana Denis, 1958: 83. Dysdera crocata: Roewer 1960b: 36 (♀; in part, as per Deeleman-Reinhold & Deeleman 1988: 236). Dysdera afghana: Deeleman-Reinhold & Deeleman 1988: 234, fig. 311 (removed from synonymy with D. zarudnyi, contra Dunin 1985: 116). Dysdera? afghana: Deeleman-Reinhold & Deeleman 1988: 236, figs 312–313 (♀). Comments: The material reported by Roewer (1960b) as D. crocata was collected in Badghis, Bamyan, Ghazni, Herat, Kabul, and Farah. These specimens were later re-examined by Deeleman-Reinhold & Deeleman (1988), who identified them as D. afghana and D. zarudnyi. However, they also noted that the labels lacked precise localities; therefore, the provinces herein mentioned in “Records” are only those reported by Denis (1958).
