Dr. Neubert,  as far as I know not a list member, has a series of
publications in the context of a faunal project of Senckenberg museum.
You can reach the list of the papers when you get to the web page of
Eike Neubert in senckenberg museum site.

As far as remember (busy right now): Species richness is two times
higher than whole Arabia. Cerastuidae is by far most specious.
Passamaella, one of the most favourite snails for me due to its
strange shell, is an endemic. There is Gulella, Otopoma etc. showing
Socotra (thus Yemen) is by no means in WP. Too strange is the absence
of aquatic species.
