Description
Summary:A survey of species belonging to the Pardosa monticola species group from Iran is presented. A new species, P. persica sp. n., from Fars Province is described on the basis of both sexes. Two species, P. buchari Ovtsharenko, 1979 and P. pontica (Thorell, 1875), are reported from Iran for the first time. All the three species are illustrated. Earlier records of P. agrestis (Westring, 1861), P. agricola (Thorell, 1856), P. monticola (Clerck, 1757) and P. palustris (Linnaeus, 1758), from Iran appear to have been based on misidentifications of P. buchari and P. pontica .
