Abstract

The present research reevaluates the diagnostic characters of Dolichonobia Meyer and demotes it to a subgenus of Mesobryobia. Consequently, Mesobryobia is divided into two subgenera: Mesobryobia (Mesobryobia) and Mesobryobia (Dolichonobia), differentiated by the shape of the peritremes: anastomosed and simple, or bifurcate, respectively. Furthermore, a new species, Mesobryobia (Mesobryobia) neobrevillosasp. nov., is described and illustrated based on females collected from grasses (Poaceae) in Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia. Additionally, a key to all species of the genus Mesobryobia is provided.
