Material. AZERBAIJAN: Baku Region: 3♂ 1♀ (ZMMU), Absheron Peninsula, Wolf Ravine Gate, [40°30'N 49°53'E], 04.2010 (N. Snegovaya); 2♂ (ZMMU), same locality, 03.2010 (N. Snegovaya); 1♂ (ZMMU), Baku, near Institute of Zoology, [40°30'N 49°53'E], 03–04.2010 (N. Snegovaya).
Comments. This species has been considered in four taxonomic publications (WSC 2023) and is relatively well studied. A large amount of material collected in the type locality, Baku, has shown some variability in spination (Dunin 1992b), although most of the specimens have spination similar to that of the holotype. In the lowland of the Kura-Aras (Azerbaijan), it inhabits the dry foothills of the Caucasus Major up to 1000 m, and can be found under stones, in soil cracks, rodent burrows, and often in cotton or cereal (grain) fields (Dunin 1992b).
Distribution. Caucasus (from ca. 43ºN to 38º40'N). There are over 30 records of this species in the Caucasus region, including Azerbaijan, Georgia, and the North Caucasus (Dagestan, North Ossetia-Alania) (Otto 2022). The majority of the records are from the eastern part of the region. However, the record from Adjara in Georgia stands out from the other known localities and may potentially refer to another species.

Comments. This species is the first dysderid described from the Caucasus. It has been treated in four taxonomic publications. Notably, it appears to be the largest Dysdera species found in the Caucasus, with males measuring over 12 mm and females over 15 mm. It is known to inhabit various forest types in the lowland, foothill, and low mountain regions, with elevations up to 1000 m. Within these habitats, it can be found in leaf litter, under stones, rotten wood, or beneath bark (Dunin 1992b).
Distribution. Azerbaijan and Iran. In Azerbaijan, it is known from five localities in southeasternmost part of the country (Otto 2022). The new record from Iran extends the known range of the species ca. 1° to the south.

Comments. This species has been treated in six taxonomic publications (WSC 2023). It is highly abundant and has been reported from more localities in the Caucasus than any other species, with a total of 63 recorded localities (Otto 2022). It primarily inhabits lowland and low mountain areas up to 1000 m, and can be found in various types of forests (Dunin 1992b).
Deeleman-Reinhold & Deeleman (1988) indicate that the holotype is from Baku. However, all other recorded occurrences of D. dunini are located approximately 500 km west of Baku. Considering that the Absheron Peninsula, including Baku, has been extensively studied by numerous collectors, including Pyotr Dunin, it is highly likely that the male holotype was mislabelled.
Distribution. Its range stretches from the western part of Anatolia (ca. 31°12'E), extending eastwards to Tbilisi (if the possibility of mislabelling the type locality is considered). The northern boundary of its distribution reaches approximately 45°N, encompassing areas in the Crimea and Krasnodar Krai. The southernmost recorded locality is in Anatolia at ca. 40°27'N. In the Caucasus, it is found mostly in central and west part of the region: Georgia (including Abkhazia and South Ossetia), Adygea, Krasnodar Krai, and Stavropol Krai.

Comments. Dysdera hungarica Kulczyński, 1897 is one of the most widely distributed species of Dysderidae, known to range from Austria to the Caucasus. There are over 25 records of it in the Caucasus, and all of them are situated along the Caucasus Major Mountain range.
There are three subspecies of D. hungarica present in the Caucasus.According to Dunin (1992b), the nominative subspecies occurs in the Northern Caucasus and the southern part of Azerbaijan. It is relatively smaller than the other subspecies, with a carapace length of 2.5 (vs. 4 and 5 in the other subspecies), and is found at lower elevations ranging from 300 to 900 m.
Dysdera hungarica atra Mcheidze, 1979, on the other hand, lacks proper illustrations and is limited to the eastern part of the Caucasus Major. It inhabits higher elevations, ranging from 700 to 2400 m. Another subspecies, Dysdera hungarica subalpina Dunin, 1992, is known only from North Ossetia and is reported at elevations from 1000 to 2500 m. These three subspecies can also be distinguished by differences in their spination patterns. The subspecies-level identification of the present material is primarily on the basis of the collection localities of the specimens.
Distribution. Caucasus Major: northern Azerbaijan and eastern Georgia.

Type material. Holotype ♂ (ZMMU), AZERBAIJAN: Shaki-Zagatala Region: Zagatala district, Zagatala State Nature Reserve, [41°48'N 46°37'E], 10.06.2003 (N. Snegovaya, H. Aliev).
Etymology. This species is named after the late Soviet/Russian arachnologist Pyotr Mikhailovich Dunin (1952– 1998), in recognition of his significant contribution to the study of the Caucasian dysderids.
Diagnosis. The new species is similar to H. vagabunda Dunin, 1991 and H. mcheidzeae Dunin, 1992, both known from southern macroslopes of the Caucasus Major. The male of the new species differs from that of H. vagabunda by the shape of tegulum (with straight anterior margin, vs. rounded), the embolus base encircled by a kind of membranous collar (vs. indistinct), the proximal part of embolus straight and sharply bent forming an acute angle (vs. not straight and roundly bent) (cf. Fig. 18D, E and Dunin 1991b: fig. 4.1, 2). The male of H. dunini sp. n. can be distinguished from that of H. mcheidzeae by having an embolar collar with a triangular extension (vs. lacking), the presence of a tegular protrusion (vs. lacking), and also by straight proximal part of embolus (vs. roundly bent) (cf. Fig. 18D, E and Dunin 1992a: figs 7, 8).
Description. Male. Habitus as in Fig. 14C. Total length 3.85. Carapace 1.70 long, 1.35 wide. Eye sizes: AE 0.09, PME 0.08, PLE 0.08. Carapace, chelicerae, sternum, labium and maxillae light brown; carapace slightly lighter posteriorly. Legs yellowish brown. Abdomen beige, without any pattern. Spinnerets uniformly beige. Measurements of legs: I: 5.23 (1.34, 0.91, 1.34, 1.18, 0.46), II: 4.77 (1.31, 0.80, 1.17, 1.05, 0.44), III: 3.86 (1.09, 0.57, 0.80, 1.00, 0.40), IV: 5.53 (1.54, 0.76, 1.27, 1.52, 0.44). Spination: I: Fe: 3pl. II: Fe: 1pl. III: Fe: 2d, 2pl; Pa: 2pl; Ti: 1d, 3pl, 2rl, 4v; Mt: 3pl, 2rl, 4v. IV: Fe: 3d, 1pl; Ti: 2d, 1pl, 3rl, 6v; Mt: 2d, 4pl, 3rl, 4v.
Bulb as in Fig. 18D–F; tegulum as long as wide, with straight anterior margin and distinct protrusion, embolic base encircled by membranous collar with prolateral triangular extension; base of embolus straight, sharply bent in mid part forming acute angle at posterior edge.
Female. Unknown.
Comments. The two similar species occur in the same region of the Caucasus Major, and both are known based solely on the type material. The type locality of the new species is located almost midway between those of H. vagabunda and H. mcheidzeae.
Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Zagatala district, Azerbaijan (Fig. 19).

Andrena (Poecilandrena) Hedicke, 1933: 218. Type species: Andrena labiata Fabricius, 1781, by original designation.
A Palaearctic subgenus of ca. 40 species, the distinguishing morphological characters of which are difficult to define. Characters which apply to the majority of species are: both sexes: body size small, under 10 mm length; cuticle black or greenish/bluish-metallic, metasoma often red; mouthparts relatively short; clypeus not elongated or protruding forward, or weakly so; ocelloccipital distance short, about 1 ocellus diameter; pronotum not carinate or weakly so; mesepisternum shagreened to weakly areolate, shallowly punctured; basal area of propodeum horizontal or sloping, not declivous; propodeal triangle shagreened to moderately rugose; first submarginal crossvein meeting marginal cell close to stigma; metasoma more or less bare, hair bands weak to absent; females: labral process moderately to considerably broad, trapezoidal or rectangular; facial foveae shallow, elongate, uniformly and moderately broad; propodeal corbicula incomplete, anterior margin hairless; flocculus strongly developed; inner side of hind tibia more or less rounded, without peg- or thorn-shaped projections; hind tibial spurs not broadened basally; scopa moderate, hairs simple to weakly plumose; pretarsal claws of hind leg bidentate; pygidial plate not elevated medially; males: head broader than long; clypeus usually yellow or white; paraocular area black, yellow or white; genal area not broadened, preoccipital ridge not carinate; sternite 6 arched apically; genital gapsule often distinctly longer than broad, with narrow and elongate gonostyli; dorsal gonocoxite lobe absent or developed; penis valves often broadened basally and with elongate lateral lamellar extensions; sternite 8 columnar, narrow.
Note regarding the diagnostic keys: the distinction among bronze, blue and green metallic colors is best applicable in fresh specimens. Specimens with metallic colors that are subject to extreme changes of humidity or temperature (as when put in a relaxing chamber) may undergo permanent discoloration. Other characters should be used to key them in these circumstances

Remarks. This is the first record of the species from the Levant. The taxonomic status of A. l. regina is problematic. Friese (1921) described A. regina based on a single female collected in Turkey, which differs from A. labiata only in the smooth mesonotum. Warncke and Grünwaldt each assigned different male forms to this taxon without providing a description (unpublished data). The female holotype cannot be unequivocally assigned to either of these male forms. Warncke (1974b) also relegated A. regina to a subspecies status. Our treatment of this taxon in the current manuscript follows his interpretation.

Remarks. The subgeneric position of A. helouanensis and the closely related A. maidaqi Scheuchl & Gusenleitner is uncertain, as they do not conform well to any particular known subgenus. Future research, preferably aided by the use of molecular markers, is needed to resolve the classification of these species.
