Diagnosis 
CommentSynonymy: ARNOLD 1980 synonymized A. neumanni with A. sinaitus. MELNIKOV et al. 2013, 2015 and TAMAR et al. 2016 consider Pseudotrapelus neumanni as a valid species. However, Melnikov’s description/diagnosis seems rather insufficient, without any illustrations or phylogenetic analysis: “Pseudotrapelus neumanni can be distinguished, as this is the only Pseudotrapelus species with enlarged scales on the dorsal parts of head and body.” (MELNIKOV et al. 2015: 59).
