Hydroglyphus hormuzensis Hájek & Brancucci, 2011

Published records. HÁJEK & BRANCUCCI (2011).

Material examined. Loc. 3: 1 ♁ 1 ♀ ( 1 ♀ designated as paratype, deposited in the IBEB, used for DNA extraction with voucher No. IBE- -RA99); Loc. 8: 1 ♀.

Notes. We found this species in a muddy residual pool with silt substratum, together with Ochthebius bernard sp. nov. and Hydraena naja sp. nov. ( Fig. 4 ; see below) and in a stream (wadi) (localities numbers 4 and 8 respectively; Tables 1, 3 and Figs 5, 6 , 8 ). As noted in the description ( HÁJEK & BRANCUCCI 2011), the male genitalia has two-segmented parameres, in contrast to the typical three-segmented parameres of the species of Hydroglyphus ( BISTRÖM 1986) . The inclusion of H. hormuzensis in the genus Hydroglyphus has to be revised, together with that of other species with two-segmented parameres (unpublished molecular results).
