Diagnosis

For male diagnosis, refer to Dimitrov (2024). The general epigynal shape of Z. namrun is similar to that of Z. thoni, except for the spermathecae strongly converging posteriorly (vs slightly converging posteriorly, cf. Fig. 82A–B and Fig. 96D) and the size of distal spermathecal ducts (smallest vs with the same size, cf. Fig. 82C and Fig. 96E).
