Records in this study. None

Previous records in the Algerian Sahara. None

Previous records in the Hauts Plateaux and coastal area. Frais Vallon, Kef El-Akdar ( Simon 1885), Souk Ahras, Derrag, Algiers, Theniet El Had, Tlemcen, and Saïda ( Gauthier 1928b, 1934b), in the coastal region of Numidia: Annaba, El Taref, and El Kala ( Samraoui & Dumont 2002), Pond of Oued Nachef (Sebdou) near Tlemcen ( Samraoui et al. 2006).

Comments. The species is exclusively found in the northern region of the country (Hauts Plateaux and coastal area). Recent studies showed that there are several cryptic groups related to Chirocephalus diaphanus outside and inside of Algeria ( Boumendjel et al. 2023; Reniers et al. 2013). Further molecular analysis is required to clarify the taxonomic status of Chirocephalus diaphanus .
