Material examined: 1 specimen. Arabian Peninsula (presumably Yemen) (1♂) ( MZUR) .

Remarks. The type locality (Ktubu) is in Yemen, Dirsh (1958) recorded other three specimens (all females) from Yemen (Dhala, Adhramaut and Lauda, north of Aden); recently it has been recorded by El-Hawagry et al. (2013) also from Saudi Arabia (Al-Baha Province). The pronotum of the male is highly distinctive (Fig. 48).
