T2 with long lateral felt lines, S2 with short (reduced) lateral felt lines. FEMALE. Head not widened posterad, posteriorly rounded.

Twenty-three species (13 based on males only, nine on females only, and one known from both sexes) are recognized predominantly from the Palaearctic Region; there are six Afrotropical species (two of these penetrate from the Palaearctic); and <i>Dentilla kompantsevi</i> Lelej, 1995 and <i>D. malinka</i> (Nurse, 1903) are Oriental.</p><p><b>Remarks</b>. All but three of the species are dull brown in color and apparently nocturnal in their behavior. These nocturnal species are somewhat commonly encountered in arid habitats from North Africa east to India (Lelej 2002, 2005). The more colorful diurnal species occur mainly in the Mediterranean (Lelej, 2002). Lelej’s (1985) key includes about half of the currently recognized species.</p> |
