Miscophus pardoi
DE ANDRADE, 1954
R e m a r k:
Miscophus pardoi
belongs to the
M. helveticus
species group.
GADALLAH et al. (2020)
mention records of this species from
Kuwait
. However,
M. pardoi
was described from the southern Atlantic coast in
Morocco
, and the occurence of this species in Arabian Peninsula is very unlikely. The record most probably refers to
M. luteoabdominalis
nov.sp.
The species should therefore be removed from the checklist of Arabian species or has to be re-checked.
