Abstract

The genus Parembia Davis 1939, composed of few species and widespread in the Indian subcontinent, in the Middle East, in the Arabian Peninsula and in Somalia, is reported here from Cyprus and Europe for the first time. The report is based on a male specimen of Parembia persica (McLachlan 1877) kept in the Paolo Fontana collection at the Rovereto Civic Museum Foundation. From the citizen science project iNaturalist.org it is clear that in Cyprus almost certainly additional species of Embioptera are present. However, the photographs, which accompany the records, do not allow identification at genus or species level. The record of P. persica based on collection material and those from iNaturalist.org suggest the need to make targeted collections on the island
