R e m a r k: Miscophus pardoi belongs to the M. helveticus species group. GADALLAH et al. (2020) mention records of this species from Kuwait. However, M. pardoi was described from the southern Atlantic coast in Morocco, and the occurence of this species in Arabian Peninsula is very unlikely. The record most probably refers to M. luteoabdominalis nov.sp. The species should therefore be removed from the checklist of Arabian species or has to be re-checked.
