Notes
The first record for the country was published by Schneider (1991). The typical M. tenebrosa originally described from Algeria slightly differs. Specimens from Saudi Arabia are larger in body size and have a longer setation of the fore part of the body. These specimens perfectly match the original description of M. interrupta ( Olivier, 1811) and also partly M. longipilis (Pic, 1897) , an enigmatic species never studied after its description. Both mentioned species are, according to their description, distributed in Egypt. Further research is needed to clarify the taxonomic status of these species.
