Blepharopsis. Is the pronotum covered by hairs? Marco  .

I think Blepharopsis mendica nuda (Giglio-Tos, 1917). You should do a better photo of the pre-apical lobes of mid and hind femora. Marco .

 I think this is Blepharopsis mendica nuda (Giglio-Tos, 1917) or Blepharopsis nuda Giglio-Tos, 1917. This (sub)species is not recorded for Egypt. The known distribution of Blepharopsis mendica nuda is: Ethiopia, Arabia, Yemen, Palestine, Somalia and probably Afghanistan. It is probably widespread in almost all the Middle East and in eastern Africa and it is repleced by Blepharopsis mendica mendica in Maghreb and Canary Islands.Marco .
