Remarks.

Records from Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria reported by Wood et al. (2020) were incorrectly identified female specimens of A. cypria (see Wood and Monfared 2022), with females of A. torda and A. cypria being challenging to separate morphologically. The female Lebanese specimens presented here were confirmed as A. torda through DNA barcoding (BIN: BOLD: AES 5002) as distinct from A. cypria (BIN: BOLD: AFH 0814), this latter BIN containing a barcoded male specimen of A. cypria which can be unambiguously recognised due to the combination of its antennal segment ratios and genital capsule.

Distribution.

Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Israel and West Bank, Lebanon *, Iraq *, Iran ( Wood and Monfared 2022).
