Levy leg.; HUJ 14565. Paratype ISRAEL • 1 ♀; same collection data as for holotype; 7 May 1991; HUJ 14564. Description For a detailed description, refer to Levy (1992). Remarks The overall body size, morphology, and male palp structure of Z. judaeorum closely resemble those observed in the genus Palaestina. However, Z. judaeorum lacks the coarse cheliceral dentition that serves as the distinguishing feature of Palaestina.
