Description
Genus Karakumosa Logunov & Ponomarev, 2020
Type species. Karakumosa repetek Logunov & Ponomarev, 2020
Diagnosis. According to Logunov & Ponomarev (2020), Karakumosa is most similar to Zyuzicosa Logunov, 2010 in having a biramous synembolus, an embolus with a prolatero-apical origin, the tarsi of all legs covered by scopulae and spinules, and a similar ratio of posterior/anterior row of eyes. Karakumosa differs from Zyuzicosa by the median apophysis with an inner and an outer plate, a synembolus with 2 acutely pointed lamellae, venter of opisthosoma not black, longer epyginal atrium and absence of septal pedicle (Logunov & Ponomarev 2020).
Comments. Karakumosa is a recently described genus with 10 species named to date (World Spider Catalog 2022). Members of this genus are large and fossorial spiders distributed in Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan (Logunov & Ponomarev 2020; Logunov & Fomichev 2021). Moreover, the type locality of Karakumosa medica (Pocock, 1889) could either be in Iran or Afghanistan (Zamani et al. 2021).
