Hydraena (Hydraena) testacea Curtis, 1830

Chorotype. Europeo-Mediterranean.

In Algeria this species was recorded in many localities ( Berthélemy et al. 1991), Oran in the north-west of the country, Frenda (Wilaya of Tiaret), Bou Berak near the city of Dellys (Wilaya of Boumerdès), Blida (massif of Mouzaϊa), Bordj-Menaïl, Bouira—Médéa, and Tizi-Ouzou (massif of the Djurdjura) in the central-north, Constan- tine, and Edough massif in the north-east. Despite the fact that this species was previously recorded in the Djurdjura, it was not collected during this survey.
