Abstract

Three new species of spiders are described from southern Iran: Filistata balouchi sp. n. (♂, Filistatidae; Sistan & Baluchistan Province), Levymanus dezfulensis sp. n. (♀, Palpimanidae; Khuzestan Province) and Scytodes kumonga sp. n. (♀, Scytodidae; Hormozgan Province). This is the first record of the genus Levymanus in Iran, and the easternmost record of the genus Filistata globally.
