Remarks
Mescheloff & Rosen (1990a) described Lysiphlebus marismortui from Israel. Based on the original description of this species, which is very closely related to Lysiphlebus confusus, and the fact that Lysiphlebus confusus exhibits major morphological variability (Tomanović et al. 2018), we believe that Lysiphlebus marismortui falls as a synonym of Lysiphlebus confusus.
