Notes
Authority: Walker 1858a; Unsure of number of specimens used in description, however only one female specimen in the NHMUK collection. Not from India: Myers (1928) claimed the locality of this species to be "India (locality unknown)" which is incorrect as it is restricted to the Arabian penninsula. Subsequent reference to India in Sanborn (2014) by Mozaffarian and Sanborn (2010) likely due to previous inaccurate literature.
