Abstract
A new species of the Acanthodactyluspardalis group, A. ahmaddisii sp.n., is described from Jordan, from a single specimen which differs from A.pardalis (Lichtenstein, 1823) of eastern Libya and Egypt, and A. beershebensis Moravec et al., 1999 from Israel. Compared to the latter two populations, A. ahmaddisii is larger with smaller head and shorter appendages and fewer (larger) dorsals. It also differs in qualitative pholidotic characters, especially by having tricarinate subdigitals, and in colour pattern.
