Record numbers. Algeria: 1, Morocco: 2; total: 3.

Remarks. Distribution is largely Palaearctic or high latitude Holarctic ( McInnes 1994a). Dactylobiotus species require careful analysis of both adults and eggs for confident identification (e.g. Kaczmarek et al. 2012b) and, as Marcus (1933) questioned his identification because the eggs were not found and Ramløv & Kristensen (1985) make no mention of eggs, these North African records need to be confirmed.
