Abstract: The species of Anthelephila Hope, 1833 of Yemen are reviewed. Three species are
newly described: Anthelephila kadleci sp. nov. and A. praefecta sp. nov. from
continental Yemen, and A. pilitarsis sp. nov. from Socotra Island. A new
synonymy, Anthelephila anceyi rathjensi (Pic, 1957) = Formicomus panelii Hille,
1977, syn. nov., is proposed. New records of eight species of Anthelephila from
Yemen are given and a key to species is provided.
Key words: Coleoptera, Anthicidae, Anthelephila, new species, new synonymy, new records, Yemen, Socotra
