Four species of the genus; <i>U. satunini</i>, <i>U. munzurensis</i> Uluar & Yahyaoglu <b>sp.n.</b>, <i>U. iraka</i> and <i>U. bakhtiara</i> are very similar in their features in general and considered as the <b> <i>Satunini</i> Group</b> . This group differs considerably from the <b>Zebra Group</b> by the male anal tergum without process but with a medial rounded or quadrangular incision, relatively weak tooth of male cerci mostly around middle (pre-medial, medial or post medial), female subgenital plate with rounded lobes. Genetic data suggested a consistent relationship with morphological data. Four species in the group differs from each other by small differences.
