Figure 67 

 Scenopinus nitiduhis Locw, 1873, p. 149. Krobcr, 1913, p. 193. 



This species appears to be correctly identified in most collections. 

 Specimens have been seen from Egypt, Palestine, and Crete. The 

 type male comes from the Transcaspian Region and was examined 

 by me; the females agree. Krober redescribed this species, including 

 the female sex from Crete. 



Length: Male body 2 mm., wing 1.5 mm. ; female body 2-2.5 mm., 

 wing 2 mm. 



Type-locality: Balfriish, Iran (Christoph). 



Type: (ZMH).

69. Scenopinus pilosus (Seguy) 



Figure 69 

 Omphrale pilosa S6guy, 1930, p. 111. 



This species is known only from the type and is characterized by 

 the body being thinly covered with medium long hairs, and by the 

 wing, where Ml-f-2 bends posteriorly to end well behind the tip of 

 the wing. See figure for details of male terminalia, head, and wings.
