status

comb. nov.

Hycleus borchmannianus ( Kaszab, 1983) n. comb.

Distribution. Endemic to Yemen.

New records. Yemen: between Umm Laylá (17°17’N 43°27’E) and Begin (17°24’N 43°27’E), vii.1981, M. Borri & M. Poggesi coll. 1 ex. ( CB) GoogleMaps .

Remarks. The phylogenetic relationships of this species are still not clarified. Kaszab (1983) compared it to H. fimbriatus (Marseul, 1870) , which actually belongs to a different group, well characterized by the mesosternal and aedeagus features (see Pardo Alcaide 1963). This small species is distinct because of the antennal shape with an evident terminal club, and the subglobose pronotum.
