Oman, Dhofar, Jebel Qara, Jabal Darabab (1100 m) 16.XI.2016, A. Carapezza (1♀); Oman, Dhofar, Wadi Ayun (680 m) 18.XI.2016, A. Carapezza (1♀); Saudi Arabia, Wadi Jizan 11.VIII.1978, Filipponi (1♂) (BMPC). Remarks. Pycnodictya dentata can be separated from P. galinieri (Reiche & Fairmaire, 1849) by its blue hind tibiae (purplish in P. galinieri ) and sinuated posterior lower angle of the pronotal lobes (not sinuated in P. galinieri ); the color of the hind wings may vary and is not diagnostic ( Popov 1980 , Ingrisch 1999 , Haggag 2016 ). Specimens here listed as having reddish hind wings. The presence of this species in central-west Saudi Arabia is being recorded for the first time; it was previously reported from Oman and Yemen.
