Meotica zoiai PACE, 1986

Meotica zoiai PACE, 1986: 161.

C o m m e n t: The original description is based explicitly on a male holotype from "Hazara, dintorni di Dunga Gali", Pakistan. However, PACE (1986) illustrated the spermatheca, evidence that he also studied a female.

D i a g n o s i s: Based on the general shape of the median lobe of the aedeagus, this species is closely allied to M. hamata . For illustrations of the primary sexual characters see PACE (1986).

D i s t r i b u t i o n: Pakistan.
