            <p> Metopina heselhausi Schmitz, 1914</p>
            <p>(Figs 2, 7)</p>
            <p> Metopina heselhausi Schmitz, 1914: 91 ; Disney, 1979: 104; Withers, 1996: 321; Disney &amp; Prescher, 2003: 245; Disney, 2006: 496; Disney et al., 2010: 199. </p>
            <p>Material. Israel: 1♂ Almagor [32°55'N 35°36'E], 10–25.xii.2010, W. Kuslitzky, Malaise trap; 1♀ same data but 12–31.i.2011; 1♂ same data but 8–28.ii.2011; 2♂ same data but 7–30.iv.2011.</p>
            <p>Distribution. The species has been found across Europe (Disney, 1991; Weber &amp; Schiegg, 2001) and in Israel (Lengyel, 2011). It is also known from Yemen, Macaronesia and Benin (Disney, 2006; Disney et al., 2010, 2013).</p>
            <p> Biology. This species appears to be attracted to flowers of  Taraxacum ,  Reseda and  Potentilla , as well as to meat baits (Withers, 1996; Disney et al., 2010). In Benin, the species was reared from  Russulaceae fungi (Disney et al., 2013). </p>
            <p> Remarks. Females of  M. heselhausi resemble those of  M. oligoneura , the main difference between them being the size measured as the width of the abdominal tergite 4 (&lt;0.2 mm in  M. oligoneura vs&gt; 0.3 mm in  M. heselhausi ). However, following the discovery of intermediate specimens of  M. heselhausi from the Canary Islands Disney &amp; Prescher (2003, figs 1–2) suggested that the two species can be distinguished by the relative length of the anterolateral arms of the abdominal tergite 10, which are clearly shorter in  M. heselhausi . Females from Almagor also has tergite 4 measured between 0.2–0.3 mm, but the length of tergite 10 apodemes allows its confident attribution to  M. heselhausi . </p>

            <p>Material. Israel: 1♀ Nahal Oren [32°42'59"N 35°01'49"E], 30.v.1998, A. Freidberg.</p>
            <p>Distribution. The species has been found across Europe (Disney, 1991; Weber &amp; Schiegg, 2001; Papp, 2002). This is the first record of it in Israel.</p>
            <p>Biology. Unknown.</p>
            <p> Remarks.  Metopina braueri is distinct in having a very long flap of the abdominal tergite 5. The specimen on hand demonstrates this remarkable feature; however, the rear portion of tergite 5 somewhat differs from illustrations provided by Disney (1979, 1983), and the specimen may turn out to belong to a new species. Additional material is required to prove or reject this assumption. </p>

            <p> Metopina kuslitzkyi sp. n.</p>
            <p>(Figs 3, 10)</p>
            <p>LSID: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:5D568BC7-901B-4F8E-934E-A311F8 E82512 Etymology. The species is named after Dr Wolf Kuslitzky, whose collecting efforts in Israel have led to this discovery.</p>
            <p>Description. Female: Body length: 1.4 mm. Colour: Head dark brown, antenna brown, palpus yellow, labrum dark yellow; scutum and scutellum dark brown, pleura, mid and hind coxae brown, fore leg including coxa yellow, mid and hind legs light brown; abdominal tergites dark brown, abdominal venter grey. Head: Frontal setation 4-2- 2-2-2-4 (4 supra-antennals, 2 antials, 2 mediolaterals, 2 preocellars, 2 ocellars, 4 verticals); palpus slender, with 6 bristles and at least 10 hairs. Thorax: Scutellum with anterior pair of hairs and posterior pair of bristles. Wing: Length 1.07–1.09 mm, CI 0.47–0.50, costal section ratio 0.70–0.73:1; membrane lightly tinged brown, particularly along veins; haltere brown. Abdomen: Tergite 2 with short setulae, membranous part of segment 2 bare; segment 3 with setulae on T3 and few on each side of the tergite and on ventral side; segment 4 with setae on T4 and a number of them next to it and on ventral side, but these patches do not fuse; segments 5 and 6 with setae on tergites and on entire membrane. Tergites 2 and 3 subrectangular, tergite 4 broader than long, tergite 5 spear-shaped with vestigial membranous or weakly sclerotized anterior flap (Fig. 3), tergite 10 cuneate with S-shaped anterolateral arms (apodemes).</p>
            <p>Male: Body length: 1.2 mm. Colour: Like in female, but generally darker; hypopygium dark brown. Head: Chaetotaxy of frons and palpus as in female. Thorax: Same as in female. Wing: Length 0.68–0.76 mm, CI 0.44–0.45, costal section ratio 0.86–0.96:1; membrane and haltere as in female; costa thickened starting at Sc midlength, 2nd thin vein sinuous basally (attached to RS at acute angle), alular lobe not broadened. Legs: Microsculpture on the posterior face of the hind femora with scaly appearance along the ventral edge and irregular (basally) and honeycomb-shaped (distally) cells above several rows of the ‘scales’ (Fig. 10). Abdomen: Membranous part entirely bare with no sclerotization ventrally; tergites 2–5 with 1–2 rows of short hairs along rear edge, with 3–5 hairs medially anteriad of these rows; tergite 6 with 22–25 longer hairs in a broadly triangular patch along posterior margin.</p>
            <p> Comparison. The female of the new species differs from other  Metopina females in having a rudimentary poorly sclerotized or membranous flap of the abdominal tergite 5; other species demonstrate either well-developed flap or complete absence thereof. The male differs from other  Metopina males with a bare abdominal venter in having a peculiar ornament on the posterior face of the hind femora; the microsculpture has a scaly appearance along the ventral edge and consists of areas of irregular (basally) and honeycomb-shaped (distally) cells above several rows of the ‘scales’. </p>
            <p>Type material. Holotype ♀: Israel: Almagor [32°55'N 35°36'E], 10–25.xii.2010, W. Kuslitzky, Malaise trap. Paratypes: 2♀ same data as holotype, but collected on 16–30.xi.2010.</p>
            <p>Other material examined. 3♂ same data as paratypes; 1♂ same data as holotype, but on 8–28.ii.2011; 1♂ Ma'agan Mikha'el [32°33'N 34°55'E], 1–9.iii.2009, W. Kuslitzky, Malaise trap.</p>
            <p> Remarks. Taxonomy of  Metopina is based primarily on females. There are several species, including  M. trochanteralis Schmitz, 1953 from Switzerland, that have been described from males only. Hypothetically, females of  M. kuslitzkyi may turn to be missing females of a species previously known in one sex. However, the chance of this is rather slim, and association of males to hand with females of the new species seems correct. </p>

            <p> Metopina obsoleta Beyer, 1960</p>
            <p>(Figs 4, 8, 11)</p>
            <p> Metopina obsoleta Beyer, 1960: 429 ; Disney &amp; Kistner, 1989: 86. </p>
            <p>Material. Israel: 1♀ Almagor [32°55'N 35°36'E], 2.xi.2010, W. Kuslitzky, Malaise trap; 1♀ same data but 16–31.xi.2010; 1♂ same data but 12–31.i.2011.</p>
            <p>Distribution. This species was described from Uganda (Beyer, 1960) and subsequently found in Senegal, Zambia and Zimbabwe (Disney &amp; Kistner, 1989). This is the first record of it in Israel.</p>
            <p> Biology. In Zimbabwe, this species was collected from a fungus garden of  Odontotermes transvaalensis (Disney &amp; Kistner, 1989) . </p>
            <p> Remarks.  Metopina obsoleta belongs to a group of species that also includes  M. hamularis Liu, 1995 ,  M. rotundata Liu, 2012 ,  M. ventralis Schmitz, 1927 , and  M. vanharteni Disney, 2006 . The female of each species is easily identifiable based on the structure of its tergite 5. On the contrary, recognition of males may pose some difficulty, although they all are distinct in having a club- or sausage-like spine on the trochanter (Fig. 11) and sclerotized plates on the abdominal venter. Males of  M. obsoleta are very similar to those of  M. vanharteni known from Saudi Arabia; however, females of the former species immediately differ in the semilunar shape of their fifth abdominal tergite. </p>

            <p> Metopina pileata Schmitz, 1936: 115 ; Disney, 1979: 107; Withers, 1996: 321. </p>
            <p>Material. Israel: 1♂, 1♀ Migdal Afeq [Migdal Zedek, 32°05'00"N 34°57'22"E], 22.xii.1993, A. Freidberg &amp; F. Kaplan; 1♂, 1♀ NE Berekhat Ya’ar [32°25'N 34°54'E], 6.vi.2003, A. Freidberg; 1♂ Almagor [32°55'N 35°36'E], 10–25.xii.2010, W. Kuslitzky, Malaise trap; 1♀ same data but 8–28.ii.2011; 1♂ same data but 7–30.iv.2011.</p>
            <p>Distribution. This species is known to occur across Europe (Disney, 1991; Papp, 2002). This is its first record in Israel.</p>
            <p>Biology. Unknown.</p>
            <p> Remarks. Typical females of this species have an anterior unpigmented median band on the fourth abdominal tergite (Disney, 1979). Some females do not possess such a band and the anterior margin of T4 looks entire; however, these specimens are still characterised by a single row of hairs on the pleural region of the fifth abdominal segment whereas the rest of the pleural region is devoid of any setation (Disney, 1979). One female from Almagor shows greater variability in conditions of these characters. While its T4 is only slightly notched along the anterior margin, it has two complete rows of hairs on each side of its fifth abdominal segment. In Disney’s (1979) key, it would run to either  M. heseslhausi or  M. oligoneura being none of them. </p>
