Description
Additional diagnostic characters of the little-known alleculine species Cornucistela serrata Campbell, 1980 are discussed. Variability of ocular index, a character widely used in the systematics of Alleculinae, is demonstrated. The distribution of C. serrata is amended; the species is known from the central part of Saudi Arabia and not from western provinces of the country as previously thought. A corrected key to species of Cornucistela Campbell, 1980 is given.
