Hyphoporus solieri

Description

Hyphoporus solieri (AUBÉ 1838)

Hydroporus solieri AUBÉ 1838: 554 (original description); SHARP 1882: 391.

Hyphoporus solieri (AUBÉ 1838): RÉGIMBART 1895: 37; ZIMMERMANN 1920: 73; 1930: 115; GUIGNOT 1959a: 337; ALFIERI 1976: 33; AL- HOUTY & ANGUS 1999: 184; ZALAT et al. 2000: 28; NILSSON 2012 (distribution).

This species has been described by AUBÉ (1838: 554) from " Égypte " (African part and Sinai). So far it was, additionally, known from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia (NILSSON 2012). SHARP (1882: 391) gave also the areas " Persia " and "northern India " which later on, however, have not been accepted by any author and are most probably due to a misidentification of another species. We can report the following record from close to the Iraqi border: 4, 4, " 12.9.2010 Iran, Khuzestan, 8 km SE Abadan, altitude 8 m, Darvishzadeh leg., ca. 30.29N 48.36E, pond" (CHF) (Fig. 23; square 1). This is the f i r s t r e c o r d of H. solieri from Iran. To our knowledge a photo of the habitus of this species has never been provided before (Fig. 14).

Notes: We could not recognise extern morphological differences to specimens from Egypt; the male genitalia also equal those of Egyptian specimens. It seems to be likely that the species occur also in the southern parts of Iraq.
