Trichothyse golan (Levy, 1999) comb. nov.

Poecilochroa golan Levy, 1999: 435, figs 15–16 (holotype ♀: ISRAEL: Golan Heights: Boqa’ata Forest [33°00’N, 35°45’E], 1.VII.1973, leg. G. Levy, HUJ 14733—not examined.

Macarophaeus golan (Levy): Wunderlich, 2011: 46.

Description. Female. For description of the female, see Levy (1999).

Male. Unknown.

Justification of transfer. The illustrations of the female genitalia provided in Levy (1999: figs 15–16) are diagnostic and were used for comparison. Although we could not examine the holotype of P. golan, the illustrations of the female genitalia of this species are diagnostic and present all typical features of the female Trichothyse species: epigyne with median extension and vulva with short copulatory ducts, large, bean-shaped primary and small secondary spermathecae (cf. Levy 1999: figs 15–16 and Figs 9–20, 56–57, 119). Based on the similarity in genitalic structure of this species to Trichothyse, we propose the transfer of P. golan .

Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Israel in western Asia (Fig. 121).
