Popis: Zodarion varoli Akpınar, 2016 Figs 17-33 Zodarion varoli Akpinar, 2016: 390, f. 1A-E (Dm). Material: 2♀♀, Turkey, İzmir Province, Ödemiş, Bozdağ (38°19’57”N 28°06’04”E), elev. 1542 m, 29.VII.2017, E. A.

Males can be differentiated from all other Zodarion species known from Turkey by the trapezoid shaped tegulum and crescent shaped median apophysis (Figs 25–28). Females are similar to those of Z. abantense Wunderlich, 1980 by the small posterio-median incision vs. larger in Z. abantense (as long as 1.5 times the diameter of the spermatheca vs. 1), and also by the two lobes of the spermathecae separated by 4 times diameters vs. 2.5 (Figs 29–33).
