Specimens examined: Near Khor Kalba, along highway to Sharjah, stony desert, queen, iii.2006, AvH.
Distribution: Members of this genus are distributed worldwide in tropics and warm temperate. Most species are thought to be hypogaeic and tending both mealybugs and coccids; therefore, they are indirect plant pests. A single queen without wings was collected which is not sufficient to identify it to species rank. This genus is recorded for the first time as occurring in Arabian Peninsula.
