Description
Leptobium arabicum COIFFAIT, 1969
Material examined: Saudi Arabia: 3 exs., Abha, 2000 m, 28.VIII.1982, leg. Heiss (cAss). 1♂ [slightly teneral], Wadi Aziza, 18°13'N, 42°28'E, 2400 m, 17.-18.IX.1983, leg. Büttiker (NHMB); 14 exs., Al-Hejaz ["Hedjaz"] (BMNH, cAss); 1♂, 1♀, Asir, Raydah Protectorate, 18.198°N, 42.410°E, 2440 m, 22.II.2014, leg. Sharaf (cAss).
Comment: Leptobium arabicum is distributed in Saudi Arabia, northern Yemen, and southern Israel (ASSING 2005, 2009c); the records from Israel are missing in the latest edition of the Palaearctic Catalogue (SCHÜLKE & SMETANA 2015). The coloration of this species is remarkably variable, that of the forebody ranges from distinctly bicoloured with the head black and the pronotum and elytra bright-reddish to uniformly reddish-brown, that of the abdominal apex from bright-reddish to reddish-brown.
