Abstract
The surprising discovery of a new species of grass huntsman spider, Pseudomicrommata mokranica sp. nov. (male female), belonging to "the African clade", is reported and described from south-eastern Iran, more than 4000 km away from the nearest recorded locality of the genus in Kenya. Similar vicariant occurrences of other sparassid taxa in Africa and Asia are discussed.
