Abstract

Two new psammophilous Saprininae, Neopachylopus pharkidodessp. nov. and N. penatiisp. nov. from the Arabian Peninsula and Algerian Sahara, respectively, are described and figured herein. Both are tentatively assigned to the genus Neopachylopus Reichardt, 1926, pending further studies. A key to species is given. The second known exemplar of the very rare Exaesiopus therondi Lackner, 2015 from the United Arab Emirates is reported and figured.
