Abstract: Exaesiopus therondi Lackner, 2015 Figs 24–36, 37 Material examined. ♂, United Arab Emirates, FUJAIRAH [= Sharjah], Wadi al Helo, SW 1, KHOR KALBA, 24°53'833"N, 56°19'875"E, 25.ii.2007, G. Sama lgt., deposited in Penati collection at MSNG. A recently described species, the holotype of which was collected from the stomach of a Kentish plover [Anarhynchus alexandrinus (Linnaeus, 1758), Aves: Charadriidae] in Afghanistan (Lackner 2015). This is the second known specimen (also male); new to United Arab Emirates. Its occurrence in the UAE suggests the species is widely spread, most likely present in Iran and Pakistan as well. For its better recognition, we show the morphological characteristics of the Arabian specimen (Figs 24–36).
