Description

Paracinipe saharae (Pictet et Saussure, 1893)

Material examined. Algeria, Barika a’ el Alia, 2♂, 2♀; Aurès Mts., 2♂, 1♀; El Kantara, 1♂, 4♀; Col de Sfa, 1♂, 2♀; Djebel Berda, 2♂; Ain Touta, 1♀; Bou Saada, 2♀; Tunisia, Djebel Oum Ali, 1♀; Gafsa, 2♀ (MNHN); Tunisia, Djebel Bireno, 1♂; Tamerza, 1♂ (BMCP). It lives in central-South Tunisia and East Algeria. The record from Fezzan reported by Usmani (2007) should be revisited on the light of keys proposed by Descamps & Mounassif (1972) and Massa (1996, 1998); however, Usmani (2007) records from Fezzan the presence of Acinipe expansa, of which has depicted male genitalia; the shape of epiphallus, with hind evident concavity, is typical of the genus Paracinipe, and probably the species actually belongs to P. saharae (see also Massa 2009).
