C o m m e n t: The original description is based on an unspecified number of syntypes from " Ceylan " ( KRAATZ 1859). One of these syntypes, a female, is deposited in the Kraatz collection at the DEI. In using the term " Holotypus " for this specimen in a type catalogue, GAEDIKE (1981) unintentionally designated it as the lectotype. Originally described in the genus Acanthoglossa KRAATZ , the species was later transferred to Cephisella FAGEL ( LECOQ 1986) .

The additional material listed above represents the first records from Oman ; in external morphology, the specimens are indistinguishable from the lectotype.
