Material examined. High-Atlas : Ourika Valley, above Oukaimeden ski station, large brook with low speed, 2620 m, 3.06.200 6, 3♀; brook and spring, 2800 m, 3.06.200 6, 1♂ ( VIN).

Distribution. A High-Atlas micro-endemic species ( Fig. 1 View Fig ). The records from Tunisia ( Béjaoui et al. 2003, Béjaoui & Boumaiza 2004) and Algeria ( Aubert 1956, Lounaci & Vinçon 2005, Yasri et al. 2013) belong to A. berthelemyi Vinçon, Yasri & Lounaci, 2013 ( Fig. 1 View Fig ), and those from the Moroccan Rif belong to A. yasriarum Vinçon, 2014 .

Ecology. A strongly crenophilic and orophilic species which occurs mainly in springs, brooks and small rivers, between 2500 and 2800 m ( Aubert 1956, 1961, Miron 1972, Pihan & Mohati 1983, Bouzidi 1989).
