Metasphenisca gracilipes (Loew, 1862) View in CoL
Trypeta gracilipes Loew, 1862c: 90 . Syntypes. Egypt ( NHMW). Acidia cyclopica Bezzi, 1908: 152 View in CoL . Syntypes . Eritrea ( Cheren ) ( MZLS).
Trypeta w-fuscum Enderlein, 1911: 425 . Holotype. Eritrea ( PAN).
Distribution. AF: Eritrea, South Africa. PA: Egypt.
Egyptian localities. Unknown. This species was recorded from Egypt according to a specimen in Vienna Museum labeled “Natt. Egypt, 1858” ( Efflatoun 1924a).
Host plants. Hosts of Metashenisca spp. include Blepharis spp., that are suspected to be the hosts of this species ( Munro 1947; Freidberg & Kugler 1989). Dates of collection. Unknown.
Remark. Efflatoun (1924a) listed this species in his monograph according to five specimens belonging to Vienna Museum bearing vague labels "Natt. 1858”, Egypt." I could not find any other sources to confirm its presence in Egypt which is thus considered as doubtful.
