Amictus sp. near tigrinus Austen, 1937

Material: One specimen: Al Bahhath 20.V.2002 (1Ψ).

Distribution: Palaearctic: Palestine.

This species seems to be rare species in Jordan. This species looks as an intermediate according to the first posterior cell between A. virgatus , which has first posterior cell open and A. validus , which has first posterior cell closed and stalked. However, A. tigrinus has the first posterior cell closed near the wing margin ( Austen, 1937). This specimen may be aberrant since it has three submarginal cells in the left wing and four in right wing.
