Notes.
Species new for the Arabian Peninsula. The studied specimens were tentatively identified as
E. quadrinotatus
in
ARRIBAS et al. (2014)
and
PALLARÉS et al. (2017)
, described from
Syria
, although it would be necessary to study the
type
material of this species to confirm the identification.According to the molecular data the species belongs to the
E. bicolor
complex, being sister to a clade including
E. falcarius
Hebauer, 1991
,
E. segmentinotatus
(Kuwert, 1888)
,
E. risii
Arribas & Millán, 2013
and
E.
cf.
turanicus
Schödl, 1998
(
PALLARÉS et al. 2017
). The male genitalia and external morphology are clearly different from
E. sinuatus
d’Orchymont, 1937
(see
SCHÖDL 1998
) which was recorded from the
UAE
by
FIKÁČEK et al. (2010)
.
