摘要
We inventorize the freshwater macrofauna of 4 different wadis, representing the low and highlands, in Yemen Arab Republic. The fauna comprised 6 molluscan, 21 Coleopteran, 8 Hemipteran, 2 amphibian and one fish species. Of the Coleoptera, 8 species are new records to yemen Arab Republic. The genus Exitianus is recorded for the first time in Yemen Arab Republic. Diversity in the uplands and lowlands was similar, but biomass was much higher in the lowlands than in the highlands.
