DIAGNOSIS. — The characters indicated by Bosmans (1985) are especially useful. The male, although very close to that of L. longihamatus , can be easily distinguished by the shape of its suprategular process (simple and non-bifid); the paracymbium is strongly curled in its median part. The females can be distinguished more easily; the proscape is clearly rounded, without a median notch distally, and the strecher (distal part of the scape) is short and protrudes very little below. This species is clearly included in the “ afer group”.
DISTRIBUTION. — The holotype comes from the cave Ifri Bernat, Ait Mohammed, Azilal ( Bosmans 1985) and has also been collected in the Ifri el Kaid cave ( Tanasevitch 2014). Our data confirm the presence of this species in both localities and add two more cavities; all of them in the Azilal region, in the Moroccan high Atlas.
