Bisnius sp.

M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Israel: 1, Pura N.R., 31°30'N, 34°47'E, 210 m, grassland, pitfall, 19.IV.2010, leg. Drees (cAss) ; 1, same data, but 1.IV.2010 (cAss) ; 1, same data, but 2.VIII.2010 (cAss) ; 1, same data, but 18.IV.2010 (cAss) .

C o m m e n t: According to Harald Schillhammer (Vienna), this species is allied to Bisnius batkhizensis (COIFFAIT, 1967) from Turkmenistan and B. bucharensis (COIFFAIT, 1967) , also from Middle Asia ( Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan). Based on a study of type material, it is not conspecific with the latter (SCHILLHAMMER pers. comm.).
