Abstract

The authors publish faunistic data on 48 owlfly specimens from Jordan, where only two species were known in the past. Four species (Ascalaphus festivus,Deleproctophylla variegata, Iranoidricerus cf. iranensis,Stylascalaphus krueperi) are new records for Jordan and the two previously recorded species (Bubopsis andromache,Bubopsis hamata) are confirmed. We present an annotated bibliography, the global distribution and information on the life history of each six species. The material reviewed in three collections also provides the first mention ofDeleproctophylla variegatafor Afghanistan.
