A New Species

The caddisfly fauna of North Africa and Morocco is still poorly known, with only a few historical and recent investigations, carried out sporadically. In this paper we describe a new species, Tinodes atlasensis Ibrahimi, Mabrouki & Taybi, sp. nov. from the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. The new species is closest to Tinodes baenai Gonzales & Otero, 1984, known from the Iberian Peninsula and mainly differs by the shape of segment IX, coxopodites, harpago and the process of basal plate. Tinodes atlasensis Ibrahimi, Mabrouki & Taybi, sp. nov. is the seventh known species of the genus Tinodes Curtis, 1834 from Morocco. Future caddisfly investigations in this North African country will most certainly increase the number of the known species and reveal other new ones.

A New Species

A new species of amphipod, Bathyporeia watkini sp. nov. from the Atlantic coasts of North Africa is described. This very characteristic species is abundant in some lagoons and estuaries near 28°N. New morphological information on B. elkaimi d’Udekem d’Acoz and Menioui, 2004 is given after specimens that were recently collected on the Atlantic coasts of southern Spain and South Portugal. The male of B. ledoyeri d’Udekem d’Acoz and Menioui, 2004 is described for the first time and new records of North African B. guilliamsoniana (Bate, 1857) and B. chevreuxi d'Udekem d'Acoz and Vader, 2005a are discussed.

Morphological Investigations

In the first months of 2013, a large group of plants of Centaurea belonging to the section Seridia, initially identified as a morphological variant of C. seridis subsp. sonchifolia, has been found during a naturalistic excursion in the Regional Natural Park of Punta Pizzo—Sant’Andrea Island. Morphological investigations, direct comparisons with species belonging to the same section, both through herbarium’s specimens and in vivo, and punctual bibliographical research indicate that this population belongs to a new species with some similarities with the Euro-Mediterranean C. seridis, C. polyacantha (a species with a distribution comprising the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco), or the North-African C. bimorpha and C. ferox, but is quite different by many characters illustrated in the present work. The new species here described is named C. akroteriensis Gennaio & Q.G. Manni.

A New Species

On the basis of extensive surveys, an update is provided on the diversity, taxonomy, anatomy, and geographic distributionof five species of North African freshwater planarians, including the description of one new species. The new species Dug-esia tubqalis Harrath & Sluys, sp. nov. is mainly characterized by the following features: an elongated penis surroundedwith two penial folds at its base, the dorsal one bigger than the ventral ; an atrium divided into a male and common atriumby a kind of non-muscular ridge; a terminal expansion of the ejaculatory duct just before it opens at the tip of the penispapilla. The record of Dugesia sicula represents the first fully documented record of a naturally sexual, diploid (2n=18)population in North Africa. The first finding of Polycelis nigra on the African continent is documented. The genus Polyce-lis is recorded here with two species, Polycelis nigra and Polycelis felina. We also noted the presence of Schmidtea polychroa, which is widespread in Europe and introduced in North America.

A new species, Rhithrogena sartorii Zrelli & Boumaiza, sp. nov. is described in subimaginal, egg and nymphal stages from material collected in Northern Tunisia. This species shows affinities with members of the insularis species group. Features distinguishing the new species from other North African species, as well as from Rhithrogena insularis (from Corsica) and Rhithrogena nuragica (from Sardinia) are discussed.

Intensive sampling performed in the area of Oum El Bouaghi (Northeastern Algeria) yielded a new species of the stygobiont amphipod Pseudoniphargus, P. djemoi, in wells located in the plain of Tamlouka. The new species belongs to a group that shares the display of a uropod 3 exopod extremely elongate and upcurved in the male, whereas its peduncle is only moderately elongate. This cluster of species appears scattered across the southern Iberian Peninsula, Northern Morocco and the Canary Islands. This discovery increases the number of described species of the stygobiont amphipod genus Pseudoniphargus in north Africa to eight. A key to the species of Pseudoniphargus living in Continental Africa and Mediterranean Islands is provided.

Scarab Beetles

The scarab beetles of the subfamily Orphninae Erichson are the most diverse in the tropics (Paulian 1948; Frolov 2012). Yet there are two genera occurring in the Palearctic Region, Hybalus Dejean, 1833 and Chaetonyx Schaum, 1862. Of them, the former is rather speciose and comprises 37 species distributed mostly in the Atlas Mountains of North Africa (Baraud 1991; López-Colón 2006; López Colón & Bahillo de la Puebla 2014; Bezděk 2016). Adult Hybalus are all apterous and most of the species have rather restricted ranges or are known from single localities. The beetles are similar externally and only a few species have distinctive features of the head or anterior legs in males; the most important and, in majority of species, the only reliable character to differentiate species is the shape of the parameres (Petrovitz 1964; Baraud 1991).
