Abstract

Dolichotachina separata Verves & Khrokalo, sp. n. is described based on a male from Egypt, and our knowledge of the other Middle Eastern species, Dolichotachina marginella (Wiedemann, 1830), is reviewed. The generic status of Dolichotachina vis-à-vis Metopodiella Zumpt, 1961 is discussed. A list of the 10 (including one fossil) species of Dolichotachina from the Palaearctic, Oriental and Afrotropical regions and 9 species of Metopodiella from the Afrotropical region are presented.
