Zelotes reuteri Zamani & Marusik, 2025, sp. nov.

Zelotes reuteri sp. nov. Figs 2A, 11A–G Type material. Holotype ♂ (ZMUT): MOROCCO: Al Haouz Prov.: Oukaïmeden, High Atlas, 31°10'25.1"N, 7°50'40.0"W, 2900 m, 29.IV–11.V.2024 (leg. C. Reuter). Etymology. This species is named after Christoph Reuter (Berlin, Germany), who collected the type material. Diagnosis. The male of the new species is very similar to that of Zelotes aeneus (Simon, 1878) in having a similar embolus, anterior tegular process (At), and a long tibial apophysis, but differs by possessing a straight anterior tegular process lacking a tooth (vs. slightly rounded and bearing a small tooth) (cf. Fig. 11A, C and Muster & Thaler 2000: fig. 3). Description. Male (holotype). Habitus as in Fig. 2A. Total length 7.95. Carapace 3.4 long, 2.55 wide. Carapace, sternum, labium and maxillae dark chocolate brown; chelicerae dark reddish brown, with 4(5) pro- and 2(4) retromarginal teeth. Palps light brown; legs dark chocolate brown with faint light markings, distal segments lighter. Abdomen grey, with light brown trapezoid scutum, covering approximately 1/3 of dorsal surface. Spinnerets dark grey. Measurements of palp and legs: palp: 3.1 (1.2, 0.55, 0.35, -, 1.0), I: 9.1 (2.5, 1.55, 1.95, 1.7, 1.4), II: 7.35 (2.05, 1.25, 1.45, 1.35, 1.25), III: 6.4 (1.8, 0.95, 1.2, 1.45, 1.0), IV: 10.15 (2.6, 1.5, 2.0, 2.8, 1.25). Palp as in Fig. 11A–F; tibia with long apophysis, almost as long as tibia; cymbium 2× longer than wide, with one antero-prolateral spine; bulb ~2× longer than wide; sperm duct looping 180° prolaterally; tegular apophysis (Ta) digitiform; anterior tegular process (At) straight and lacking teeth, tip slightly belt anteriorly; paraembolic membrane (Me; ‘conductor’) large; embolus (Em) almost straight. Female. Unknown. Habitat. Semi-arid rocky mountain with sparse vegetation (Fig. 14A). Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Al Haouz Province, Morocco.
