Pseudagrion praetextatum Hagen.

Jericho , ♂, 1.vi.22 ; Nahr es Zerka , ♀, 22.iii.23 .

Coll. Ris, ♂, 7.vi.18, “ Dead Sea .”

I n recording this species from Beirut, Selys suggested the name syriacum -as for a race. These specimens differ little from others from East and South Africa. They are rather smaller (abd. 27-28; h.-w. 19 - 20). The Jericho specimen has a pale labrum; this is usually black.
