Material examined.
Loc. 4: 1 ♁.
Notes.
New record for
Oman
. The species was described from the wadi Wurayah, in the northeastern
UAE
, which is also the
type
locality of
Ochthebius wuraya
Jäch & Delgado, 2010
. A third species of
Hydraenidae
was found in the same locality,
Hydraena putearius
Jäch & Díaz, 2000
(
JÄCH & DELGADO 2010
). It is remarkable that the same three species were found in our locality 4 (
Figs 5, 6
), but with the addition of three new species, one
Hydraena
and two
Ochthebius
(see below).
