A large burrowing wolf spider, Lycosa macrophthalma sp. nov., is
described from the holotype female from central Iran. The new species
can be easily distinguished from all congeners by the presence of
anterior epigynal hoods and a protrusion between their edges and the
septum. Lycosa macrophthalma sp. nov., L. aragogi Nadolny et Zamani,
2017, L. piochardi Simon, 1876, L. praegrandis C.L. Koch, 1836, and L.
tarantula (Linnaeus, 1758) have a similar conformation of the endogyne
and represent diagnostic characters of the genus Lycosa Latreille, 1804
sensu stricto.
