| Abstract: | The pipunculid fauna of Israel and the Sinai is revised. In total, 45 species are recorded from this area and 18 species are described as new to science: Eudorylas ascitus, E. flavicrus, E. imitator, E. sinaiensis, Tomosvaryella argyrata, T. argyratoides, T. inermis, T. israelensis, T. debruyni, T. docta, T. freidbergi, T. inopinata, T. jubata, T. nodosa, T. parakuthyi, T. pusilla, T. sedomensis, and T. trichotibialis. Eudorylas lini (Hardy) is considered a junior synonym of Eudorylas confusoides (Lamb). The female of Cephalops conjunctivus is recorded for the first time. Lectotypes and paralectotypes are designated for T. helwanensis (Collin) and T. dentiterebra (Collin). Identification keys for the males of the genera Eudorylas and Tomosvaryella are provided. The zoogeographical relationship of the pipunculid fauna is briefly discussed. |
