Comments. This species is known so far from Spain, Hungary and Slovakia ( Noyes 2013; Trjapitzin 1989). It is newly recorded here from Saudi Arabia based on a single male specimen. We give here illustrations of the antenna, head frontal view, mandible and the genitalia ( Figs 70–73 View FIGURES 70 – 73 ) which will help in the recognition of this species.
