Resumen

Lachesilla anura Badonnel and L. grandis Badonnel are recorded from Yemen and both sexes are illustrated based on this newly-stu­died material. Males of these species were previously unknown. A male specimen described and tentatively assigned to L. anura by Badonnel is herein described as Lachesilla guineensis Lienhard, n. sp. The female genitalia of L. anura are unique in the genus Lache­silla Westwood, especially due to the complete absence of gonapophyses and the presence of particularly complex sclerotizations sur­rounding the spermapore.
