Morsina elba (Linnavuori, 1973), comb. n.
Philbyella elba Linnavuori, 1973: 119, fig. 67a–d.
Philbyella adeiba Badawy, El Hamouly & Sawaby, 2011: 500, figs 1–15, syn. n.
Note. Ph. elba was described by Linnavuori (1973) from northeastern Sudan (Kassala) and Ph. adeiba was described from the neighboring region of southeastern Egypt (Gabal Elba in Halayeb Triangle) (Badawy et al. 2011). The synonymy is based on the characters of male genitalia: peculiar male anal tube, with lobe-shaped lateral margins; hind margin of pygofer distinctly convex; apical aedeagal processes narrow, rounded apically, well visible above the phallobase; ventral aedeagal hooks directed upwards (Linnavuori 1973, figs 67a, 67c; Badawy et al. 2011, fig. 7).
