Genus Triphleba Rondani, 1856 View in CoL View at ENA

So far, only two ‘endemic’ species of this speciose genus have been recorded in Israel, i.e. T. circumflexa Schmitz, 1932 and T. extrema Schmitz, 1932 ( Disney & Nussbaum, 1990; Lengyel, 2011a). The former was described from female, whereas the latter from male only ( Schmitz, 1932). T. extrema is quite distinct in having greatly enlarged epandrial lobes and occurs on both Judean hills and the coastal plain.
