Abstract. Chloropelix canariensis Lindberg, 1936, Paradorydium desertorum Linnavuori, 1964, and P. spatulatum (Naudé, 1926) are recorded from the United Arab Emirates for the first time. These species were collected from Poaceae and Compositae in northeastern part of the country. Paradorydium desertorum is also recorded for the first time from Israel, and P. spatulatum, from Morocco. Two new synonyms are established: Bumizana deccani Viraktamath et Viraktamath, 1989, syn. nov. = P. spatulatum; Chloropelix indica Viraktamath et Viraktamath, 1989, syn. nov. = Ch. canariensis.
