Hydroglyphus sinuspersicus Hájek & Wewalka, 2009

Published records. HÁJEK & WEWALKA (2009).

Material examined. Loc. 1: 4 spec; Loc. 2: 6 spec.; Loc. 3: 80 spec. (1 ♁ used for DNA extraction, voucher No. IBE-RA100); Loc. 4: 2 spec.; Loc. 12: 1 ♀.

Notes. The species was recently described with material from the UAE, north Oman (Al Houty [= Al Hoota] cave) and southwestern Iran, which had in part previously been misidentified as H. major (Sharp, 1882) ( HÁJEK & WEWALKA 2009). Hydroglyphus major seems to be confined to the Dhofar region, in south Oman ( HÁJEK & REITER 2014). The species is frequent in residual pools of wadis, sometimes in large numbers.
