status

 

Lydoceras fasciatus (Fabricius, 1775)

Distribution. Saudi Arabia; new for Yemen. It was cited also from Egypt, but we never confirmed this citation; we also know records from Jordan, which need confirmation.

New records. Saudi Arabia: Arabia, 5 exx. (MNHN; MNHU).

Yemen: Bājil, 2 exx. (CB, MNHU).

Remarks. The genus Lydoceras Marseul, 1870 , which is under revision (Bologna unpublished), is an Afrotropical element strictly related to Hycleus , but is clearly distinct by the shape of antennae, which are progressively narrowed at apex.
