Protonemura algirica pro parte (Aubert 1961, specimens from Moroccan Middle-Atlas)

Material examined. Middle-Atlas: SE Khenifra, Sidi Yahia Ousaad, Oued Oum er Rbia tributary, lateral spring, 15.04.201 3, 1♂, 2♀; 8.06.201 3, 13♂, 3♀, normal winged (VIN); 14.11.201 3, 1♂ (VIN). High-Atlas: Midelt, spring above Tattiouine village, Moulouya tributary., 1700 m, 15.04.201 3, 1♀ apterous (VIN).

Distribution. First records from the High-Atlas. A moroccan endemic species which occurs in the High and Middle-Atlas.

Ecology. A crenophilic species which mainly occurs in karstic springs (Vinçon & Murányi 2009). In the Sidi Yahia Ousaad watershed, the adults where not found in the main brook but exclusively in the three lateral springs marked by the dark green color of the grass (Fig. 13, left side of the photo). These very small springs are covered with dense vegetation (Fig. 14). In the High-Atlas, it is only known from a large rheocrene spring above Tattiouine (Figs 15, 16). The adults mainly emerge in spring and early summer (IV-VII), but one male was also catch in autumn (XI).
