Abstract

The Ulidiini (Ulidiidae: Ulidiinae) fauna of Israel is reviewed. Eighteen species in three genera (Physiphora, Timia and Ulidia) are recognized. Five species are described as new: Timia fallax n. sp., T. ritae n. sp., Ulidia aurata n. sp., U. hirsuta n. sp. and U. wasimi n. sp. The remaining species are redescribed and all species are illustrated. Keys for the identification of the local Physiphora and Timia species and of the world species of Ulidia are provided.
