Distribution. Palearctic species, widely distributed in the northern part of Morocco (L’Mohdi 2016). In the Moulouya River basin, this species is only known for Oued Za ( Chavanon et al. 2004), but probably it is much more common than the records suggest. Our work considerably increased the records of its distribution in Morocco ( Fig. 10 ).
