Meotica zoiai PACE, 1986: 161 View in CoL .

Comment: 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.

Diagnosis: 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).

Distribution: Pakistan.
