The type series was re-examined and further illustrations provided ( Ebejer 2016: 231, figs 14b, 15a–b). The record from Tunisia( Ebejer 1998) is now doubtful considering that many similar species have been described since, and a number of additional similar species known to the author are still awaiting description. Photographs of the holotypeare provided here ( Figs 39A, 40).    Distribution  Yemen( Ebejer 1996).
