Abstract
Corynotopsisomanicussp. nov. of the myrmecophilous supertribe Clavigeritae is described from Oman. The type series was collected at night and the ant host species remains unknown. Corynotopsisscotti Jeannel, 1951 is newly recorded for Yemen, and Commatocerusconcinnus Besuchet & Cuccodoro, 2011 for Oman. Lasius Fabricius, 1804 and Lepisiota Santschi, 1926 are, for the first time, determined as hosts of the latter species. The problematic taxonomic status of Corynotopsisscotti is discussed. A distribution map of all Clavigeritae known from the Arabian Peninsula is provided.
