Abstract:
The genus Nebo Simon, 1878 in Saudi Arabia is revised based on morphometric and morphological characters for adult specimens. The presence of Nebo hierichonticus (Simon, 1872) has been justified for the first time from Saudi Arabia and compared with materials collected from Jordan. More specimens of Nebo yemenensis Francke, 1980 including adult males and females were collected and recorded in this study. Nebo jazanensis sp. n. is described and fully illustrated based on adult males and females collected from Jazan Province and compared with other species of the genus Nebo known from the Arabian Peninsula and Jordan. Notes on its habitats are provided.
