Aden Prot. / Dhala / 4,800ft / 14.ix.1937 (holotype, NHMUK) .
Distribution. Arabian Peninsula: Yemen ( Paulian 1948).
Remarks. First record for Saudi Arabia . In the original description ( Paulian 1948), O. brittoni has been placed in d’Orbigny (1913)’s 19 th group. Until now, the species was known only from the male holotype. The large number of specimens of both sexes collected in Saudi Arabia , allowed us to provide a redescription of the species (see Appendix).
