Abstract
Two species of Camptopoeum, C. (Camptopoeum) negevense and C. (Epimethea) subflavum, are reported from the Arabian Peninsula for the first time. The specimen label data was obtained from the bee collection of the Natural History Museum, London. This increases the known number of Arabian Camptopoeum to three. A key to these Arabian species is proposed, and descriptions of specimens and their genitalia are given.
