Figs 6-11: Apex of male abdomen, gonarcus and parameres, distal pleuritosquamae in lateral view: Nohoveus palparis (Figs: 6-8.); Nohoveus vanharteni sp.n. (Figs: 9-11.)

Paratype females: Fore wing: 18.5 mm long, 5 mm wide. Hind wing: 16.5 mm long, 4 mm wide, abdomen 16-17 mm long (Fig. 2). Abdomen shorter than wings and without conspicuous pubescence. Genitalia female as in Fig. 5. Otherwise like holotype.

Comment: The new species can be easily distinguished from the similar species of the genus by the enlarged last segment of labial palp. Superficially (especially females), it is similar to Aspoeckiana caudata (Navás, 1913) but it has narrower wings than the new species and its pattern on thorax is also different. Probably, Tigar and Osborne (1999) found the new species in the United Arab Emirates since they listed as "Myrmecelaurus cf. caudatus Navás". However, Aspöck et al. (2001) did not catalogued it from Western Palaearctic region. According to Krivokhatsky (1998a) it is known only from Central Asia.
