Remarks
This is the first record of Platypalpus boreoalpinus from Morocco and North Africa. Its morphology corresponds completely to the description in Chvála (1975). Barták & Kubík (2016) discussed the variability in the male genitalia of this species. With regard to our specimens, the male genitalia agree exactly with that illustrated by Chvála (1975).
