Remarks.
A single male agreeing with characters of genus Desmatoneura Williston, 1895 has been collected. Greathead (1980 & 1988) questionably recorded Desmatoneura frontalis (Wiedemann, 1828) from Oman; Desmatoneura brevipennis (Bezzi, 1924) from Yemen, Oman, and United Arab Emirates; and an unidentified species from United Arab Emirates. Evenhuis and Greathead (1999) recorded Desmatoneura frontalis (Wiedemann, 1828) from Saudi Arabia. Species in this genus are little-known and the present one is probably new but more specimens are required to ensure that.
