Resumo

Taxonomic relationships between Rhabdorrhynchus and Pachycerus are discussed, and two new species of Rhabdorrhynchus are described: Rhabdorrhynchus sauditus (type locality: Saudi Arabia, As Shāqqah al YamānĪyah, 19°42′N, 40°48′E) and Rhabdorrhynchus emir (type locality: United Arab Emirates, Jebel Ali, 24°59′N, 55°43′E). Some hypotheses on the distribution of the new species in the Arabian Peninsula, based on a biogeographical analysis, are proposed.
