Hycleus nigriplantis
Creators
Description
Distribution. Widely distributed through the Sahel from Senegal to Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia, in southern Israel, Saudi Arabia, Yemen. It was cited also from Egypt, but probably this record refers to Sinai.
New records. Saudi Arabia: Arabia, 2 exx. (MNHN); Lodar, 800 m, 16.v.1967, K. Guichardt coll. 5 exx. (BMNH).
Yemen: Al Hudaydah to Sana’a, 20.ix.1962, G. Popov coll. 1 ex. (BMNH). 10 Km S of Beit el Faqi, 14°3’’N 43°17’E, 19.vi.1951, 1 ex. (BMNH).
Remarks. As evidenced by Pardo Alcaide (1958, as Gorrizia) and Bologna (1978, as Coryna), this species of the Mesoscutatus - type lineage, belongs to the Palaeotropical group of H. pallipes (Olivier, 1811), which is characterized by the hind external spur of metatibia enlarged, similarly to the mylabrine genus Croscherichia, to which was referred by Kaszab (1983). Within this group, H. nigriplantis seems to be related to two Indian species.
