Micrillus aegyptiacus
group
The
M. aegyptiacus
group includes the remaining species. The currently known distribution includes Northeast Africa southwards to
Sudan
, the southern East Palaearctic and the Oriental regions. Representatives of this group are mostly of small body size and characterized among the species groups with unmodified protarsomeres particularly by a deep and narrow posterior incision of the male sternite VIII and a relatively small, compact, and distinctly asymmetric aedeagus.
