Lebia spec.

Material examined. GRNR: 1851 m: 26.IV.2014, LT, 2 ♀. 1897 m: 26.IV.2014, LT, 2 ♀ .

Comments. This species was found close to Lebia (L.) zanzibarica Chaudoir, 1878, in colour and pattern when compared with paratype. But differs by the frons and disc of the pronotum much more coarsely punctured in L. zanzibarica, while in L. spec. the frons is smooth and only sporadic punctured. Also the sculpture of the pronotum is different. Specimens of L. spec. are also compared with nearby Afro-Ethiopian species in the collection of the Tropical Africa Museum, Tervuren, Belgium, and result suggests that these specimens belong to a new species. All specimens examined are females, it is impossible to study the morphology of the male tibia to assign a certain subgenus and we cannot describe it yet, because of the lack of males (Rasool et al. 2018a).

Life forms and Remarks. ZPLD species. Recently this putative species was reported tentatively from KSA (Asir Province: GRNR), due to lack of male adults. The adult specimens were collected from Opuntia ficus-indica and Olea europaea plant communities of GRNR.
