Cladotanytarsus sagittifer Giłka View in CoL

Cladotanytarsus sagittifer Giłka, 2009 View in CoL : Giłka 2009a: 671 (adult male, UAE).

Material examined. Holotype and paratypes ( Giłka 2009a). UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. Al Wathba Wetland Reserve ( AWWR), October 2014, 1 male , June 2015, 1 male, Malaise traps, leg. A. Saji & A. van Harten. Deposit in DIZP.

Remarks. Adult males of this peculiar species have an extremely elongated, sagittate and darkly pigmented hypopygial anal point lacking crests and spinulae ( Giłka 2009a, figs 13, 14). Cladotanytarsus sagittifer has so far been known from three sites in the United Arab Emirates. The present record comes from the Al Wathba Wetland Reserve (40 km SE of Abu Dhabi) - one of the most important inland wetlands in the UAE, waterlogged during the winter months, presumably the result of sub-surface flow and hydrostatic back-up during spring high tides ( Soorae et al. 2014).
