status

 

Zonitoschema gibdoana (Kaszab, 1956)

Distribution. Sahelian species, recorded from Gambia, Tchad, Sudan, Kenya and Tanzania, and from Saudi Arabia.

New records. Saudi Arabia: Wadi Yiba , 18°55’N 41°15’E, 29.iii–148, B. P. Uvarov coll. 1 ex. ( BMNH) GoogleMaps .

Remarks. The taxonomy of the whole genus needs a complete revision and the identification of most species is primarily based on the colouration of antennomeres and legs. The American genus Pseudozonitis Dillon, 1952 could be a synonym of Zonitoschema Péringuey, 1909 ( Pinto & Bologna 1999; Bologna & Pinto 2002).
