Remarks: The type specimen of Cueta arenosa (Navás, 1913) (syn. n.) preseverd in BMNH, London, is a new junior synonym of Cueta lineosa (Rambur, 1842). During the survey, it was mostly collected in the warm mediterranean influenced area of NW part of Morocco as well as in higher region of the High Atlas Mts. and the Anti Atlas Mts. where it is a frequent pit building species but rather rare in Saharan area. The seasonal activity of the imagoes is a wide range from July to September. Distribution: It is a widespread species in the West Palearctic, not only known in the African Mediterranean area but also in West and Middle Asia moreover in Sudan (Esben-Petersen 1931b, Hölzel 1969), Pakistan (Iqbal & Yousuf 1997, Aspöck et al. 2001) and India (Rajasthan) (Ghosh 1977, Chandra & Sharma ????).
