Identification. BROWN (1953a, as M. hozari macani ) (description, figures); LINNAVUORI (1960, as M. perexigua ) (description, figures); LINNAVUORI (1986a): 38–40 (upgraded to species, new synonymy, redescription, figures); LINNAVUORI & HOSSEINI (2000): 41–43 (key, diagnosis, figures); SALEH AHMED & GADALLA (2005a): 221–222, 225 (key, diagnosis, figures); LINNAVUORI et al. (2011): 92, 96 (diagnosis, habitus figure).
Habitat. In Socotra collected in coastal to montane zone: in a shaded pool covered with tamarind leaves next to a small brook at Homhil (435 m a.s.l.) and on two brooks, at the sea coast (5 m a.s.l. at Arher; Fig. 49 View Figs 49–53.49 ) as well as in Hagher Mts (1170 m a.s.l. in wadi Madar; Fig. 50 View Figs 49–53.49 ), at the latter locality in tufts of Juncus socotranus at the bank. Two macropterous specimens were also collected at light.
Outside Socotra, the species was collected in marshes, ponds, pools and brooks among rich vegetation (e.g. of Phragmites , Typha , Juncus and sedges) and also in irrigation systems ( LINNAVUORI 1986a, 1994b, 2009; LINNAVUORI & VAN HARTEN 1997 ; SALEH AHMED & GADALLA 2005a; LINNAVUORI et al. 2011). Macropterous specimens were also intercepted by light traps and Malaise trap (LINNAVUORI 2004, LINNAVUORI et al. 2011).
Distribution. Palaearctic Region: Near East: Azerbaijan (BERCHI et al. in press), Egypt: Sinai ( SALEH AHMED & GADALLA 2005a,b), Iran ( LINNAVUORI & HOSSEINI 2000; LINNAVUORI 2004, 2009; GHAHARI et al. 2013), Iraq ( BROWN 1953a, LINNAVUORI 1994b), Israel ( LINNAVUORI 1960, as M. perexigua ), Saudia Arabia ( BROWN 1953a, as M. hozari macani, 1953b , as M. hozari ; LINNAVUORI 1986a), Socotra (this paper), UnitedArab Emirates (LINNAVUORI et al. 2011), Yemen ( LINNAVUORI & VAN HARTEN 1997 , 2002a).
