The family Perilampidae is reported for the first time from the Arabian Peninsula. Krombeinius almokha Darling n. sp. is described from Yemen and seven species of Perilampus Latreille are recorded and illustrated from Yemen and the United Arab Emirates. Two species are recognized in the P. auratus group, Perilampus ardens Yoo Darling n. sp., P. awbalus Yoo Darling n. sp., one species in the P. laevifrons/chrysopae group, Perilampus khor Yoo Darling n. sp., three species in the P. tristis group, Perilampus rainerius (Argaman), 1990, P. houbaraensis Yoo Darling n. sp., P. yemenensis n. sp., and Perilampus microgastris Ferrire, 1930. The species show primarily Afrotropical and Palaearctic affinities. Comparisons and images are also provided for five extralimital species, P. auratus Panzer, 1798, P. tristis Mayr, 1905, P. chrysonotus Frster, 1859, P. seyrigi Risbec, 1952, and P. noemi Nikolskaya, 1952, and a lectotype is designated for P. microgastris (present designation). The biogeographic affinities of the Arabian Peninsula Perilampidae are discussed as is dwarfism in desert Hymenoptera.
首次报道了来自阿拉伯半岛的 Perilampidae 科。描述了来自也门的 Krombeinius almokha Darling n. sp.，并记录并图示了来自也门和阿拉伯联合酋长国的 7 种 Perilampus Latreille。在 P. auratus 组中识别出两种物种，Perilampus ardens Yoo Darling n. sp.，P. awbalus Yoo Darling n. sp.，在 P. laevifrons/chrysopae 组中有一种物种，Perilampus khor Yoo Darling n. sp.，在 P. tristis 组中有三种物种，Perilampus rainerius (Argaman)，1990，P. houbaraensis Yoo Darling n. sp.，P. yemenensis n. sp.，和 Perilampus microgastris Ferrire，1930。这些物种主要具有非洲和古北界的亲缘关系。还为五种外域物种，P. auratus Panzer，1798，P. tristis Mayr，1905，P. chrysonotus Frster，1859，P. seyrigi Risbec，1952，和 P. noemi Nikolskaya，1952，提供了比较和图像，并指定了 P. microgastris（目前的指定）的模式标本。讨论了阿拉伯半岛 Perilampidae 的生物地理亲缘关系，以及沙漠膜翅目动物的矮小现象。
