Name[edit]
Pilemia (Pseudopilemia) arida Lazarev, 2023: 67
Type locality: Jordan, 14 km WSW Mādabā, Qullat Umm Rusūm Mts, 31°39′47″N 35°39′34″E / 31.66306°N 35.65944°E, 660 m.

Distribution: Jordan, Syria (Slinfah); most probably all records of P. hirsutula for Lebanon and Israel are connected with P. arida sp. nov., as well as the record of P. (P.) h. hirsutula by Özdikmen & Tezcan (2020) for Turkish (Hatay province).
Biology. Imagoes were observed in mountain semidesert on Eremostachys laciniata at the end of March and beginning of April.
Etymology: The name comes from the Latin “arida” - 'dry', as an essential character of the native landscape.
