Remarks. It can be identified with the key by Hennig (1960) to Palaearctic Lispe and by Pont (1991) to the Arabian species of Lispe . The male and female terminalia were illustrated by Hennig (1960, text-figs 90, 124, 139, plate 19 fig. 383, plate 20 fig. 397). Hennig (1960) did not place this species in any group. Vikhrev (2014) established a Lispe nana -complex and gave a key to the constituent species.
