Distribution. Endemic to the eastern Arabian Peninsula, until now recorded only from the type locality in Saudi Arabia. Cited from U.A.E. by Gillet & Gillet (2005).

New records. U.A.E.: Al Aïn , Al Bateen dunes, 18.iii.2000, M. Gillet coll. 10 exx. ( CB, C. Krejcik)

Remarks. This monotypic genus was recently revised by Turco & Bologna (in press). The figures of male genitalia published by Kaszab (1983) do not completely correspond to the actual aedeagal shape of both types and additional specimens examined.
