The  persimilissub-group of the  hufelandigroup requires careful taxonomic identification. These reports are close to the Sicilian typelocale, though this example requires further analysis. 1671737580 [151,1156,941,963] 600 32.816666 Cyrene 1208 21.85 47 48 1 Jabal al Akhdar 1671737589 1750 32.416668 Azrou 1211 -5.2166667 47 48 1 Meknes-Tafilalet Region 1671737591 [151,1215,1125,1147] 36.95 Pilato 1184 8.75 47 48 1 Jendouba Governorate
