As intensive collecting in Israel, including in this area has been carried out since at least the 1960 s, it is likely that the species arrived in Israel (perhaps from North Africa) not long before its first record there.	en	Morgulis, E., Freidberg, A.

03B6BD710E48FFD6FF345F73FC6A5E60.taxon	discussion	Comments. As currently accepted Timia contains 59 species. Based on our examination of about half of the species, it appears that Timia is a paraphyletic group with regard to Ulidia. Some species (T. melanorrhina and allied species) may actually belong to Ulidia, whilst other species (i. e., T. canaliculata group sensu Zaitzev 1982) may belong to a separate (perhaps even new) genus. As for the remaining species of Timia, these may comprise a good monophyletic group (Timia). Loew (1866) erected the genus Empyelocera within Ortalidae (= Ulidiidae). Hennig (1940) designated E. melanorrhina Loew as type species of Empyelocera, but lowered Empyelocera to subgenus of Timia. He distinguished between the two resulting subgenera (Empyelocera and Timia s. str.) by the width of the parafacial, which is narrower than or about as wide as the 1 st flagellomere and narrower than antennal groove in Empyelocera, whereas it is wider than 1 st flagellomere and antennal groove in Timia s. str. Kameneva (2000) and Galinskaya (2011 b) accepted this subgeneric classification, whereas Zaitzev (1982) noted that this distinction between these two subgenera is problematic. Based on the examination of the local species as well as many exotic species of Timia we generally agree with Zaitzev’s opinion that the current subgeneric classification of Timia is rather arbitrary and not natural and should be abandoned. However, we refrain from doing so here since the required examination of all or most Timia species is beyond the scope of this work.	en	Morgulis, E., Freidberg, A.

03B6BD710E50FFCFFF345C00FF405A8E.taxon	discussion	Comments. This species represents an unusual kind of variation: whereas most specimens have an entirely or predominantly yellow scutellum, often with the anterolateral corners darker, some specimens (2 – 7 %) have the scutellum predominantly or entirely black (or blackish). In other specimens (5 – 10 %) the scutellum appears to be highly transluscent, revealing the black color of the body parts beneath it, consequently appearing black or blackish.	en	Morgulis, E., Freidberg, A.

This species and U. erythrophthalma belong to the erythrophthalma species group (Hennig, 1940). They can be distinguished only by the structure of the glans (Kameneva, 2008).	en	Morgulis, E., Freidberg, A.

Two paratypes (♀) of U. fascialis were examined and no external differences between the two species were found. Examination of the male terminalia is required in order to decide whether these are distinct species or U. omani is a junior synonym of U. fascialis Hendel. The original spelling of the species name is " fascialis "; the spelling " facialis " (Hennig 1940; Kameneva 2008) is an unjustified emendation.	en	Morgulis, E., Freidberg, A.

This observation may result from the short and early season of activity (17. iii – 22. iv) and the lack of sufficient excursions to the distribution area in the last two decades. Unlike in the case of T. fallax n. sp., we do not think that global warming and desertification are important factors affecting the population size of this species.	en	Morgulis, E., Freidberg, A.
