Fig. 58 View FIGURE 58

Diagnosis: Following Földvári & De Meyer (1999), this species can be recognized by the shape of surstyli in dorsal view, broadened at base, constricted before apex; both surstyli bent in middle in lateral view; epandrium wider than long in dorsal view; short phallic guide, broadened at base; phallus with three ejaculatory ducts, one bearing some small teeth in basal half ( Földvári & De Meyer, 1999: fig. 15A–D).

Distribution: Egypt, France, Hungary, Israel, Japan, Morocco, Romania, Spain, Syria ( Skevington 2020) ( Fig. 58 View FIGURE 58 ).

Note: Földvári & De Meyer (1999) mentioned that there is some variation in the male genitalia features of this species from Israel (and Hungary) and this might be a species complex.
