Dinarmoides spilopterus Masi, 1924

Material examined. SOCOTRA ISLAND: Noged plain (sand dunes), Sharet Halma vill. env., 12°21.9′N, 54°05.3′E, 20 m, sweeping, 10.–11.xi.2010, J. Bezděk leg., 1 ♀ ( CUPC) ; Dixam plateau, Firmihin ( Dracaena forest), 12°28.6′N, 54°01.1′E, 490 m, sweeping, 15.–16.xi.2010, J. Bezděk leg., 3 ♀♀ 2 JJ ( CUPC) .

Distribution. It is a species widely distributed in Europe (Croatia, Czech Republic, Italy, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and Serbia), Canary Islands, and also reported from Turkmenistan ( NOYES 2012). First record from Socotra Island.

Remarks. I have seen many specimens in the collection of NMPC identified by Zdeněk Bouček in 1960’s and it seems that this species is very polymorphic or there is a complex of species. To validate this statement it is necessary to examine more specimens from the whole area of distribution.
